Domains that Aren’t Good for Root Orange and Why
BostonDermatologist.com
- Domains with geographic modifiers are not good fits because we can only lease them in a single metro area

- Root Orange is limited to .com’s among generic TLDs for now, until we gain traction there. We will add cc TLDs once we expand internationally.

- Products that are likely to be offered online via download or an ecommerce portal are better used in ecommerce applications instead of Root Orange’s localized leasing
OnlineBooks.com and eTaxConsulting.com

FreeLegalAdvice.com

- Domains with adjective or verb modifiers because usually have relatively low organic search volumes and are therefore less likely to deliver a base ROI for our customers
