.co domain showcase. Showcase your .co domain names

[Jilo]

Denver.co is one of the good .co geos IMO... Go into the auction if you think you can develop

 

[PrimeRisk2]

I pre-regged for ColoSpgs.co... The status is weird right now...ENom looks like they got it, but it only has generic info on it. Wild West is telling me it is pending setup. I doubt I got it, but I'm not still not getting a deny.

 

[Melly]

I know that some of DMs has been getting traffic. Not sure how much will check on them.

 

[Hostlead]

just started to park some domains. not expecting any traffic.
some domains are still in pending status, so I'll add those later if I got any...which I doubt as well, since it's already the 21st.

Yep. I posted this yesterday on FB.

.CO Winners & Losers

Winners -

1.) The .CO Registry
2.) Registrars
3.) People who got assigned top tier generics without competition.
4.) Lawyers. From the obvious TM related typo squatting that will follow.

Losers -

1.) Everyone else.

some are looking at this extension differently


some see as abbreviation for colorado, some see it as columbia and others are viewing as abbreviation for company

which makes it more diverse and gives higher probability for success than some other one dimensional tlds


imo...

 

[Gee]

the extension is marvelous apart from being typo of .com , it is looking very nice, easy pronounceable, ...etc

I just registered

advices.co

I expect it to beat .info and .biz in the coming few years

it will be the third choice after .com and .net sooner or later

by the way , it is also a typo of .co.uk , alquds.co.uk is very popular newspaper developed

I wish I had registered more names yesterday

 

[siaver]

I'm seeing a LOT of activity on the 40 or so names I have in auction at Namejet...... all generics, no typos

maybe just people checking if the domain is available.

maybe just people checking if the domain is available.

These are auctions where I pre-ordered a name and only available for viewing and bidding to people that also did so.

 

[ecomindia]

I don't think this cctld has a chance beyond domainers.

-=DCG=-

agree.... not going to invest in it!!

 

[randomo]

OK, I woke up after the first rush but still had the itch to snag a few .co's. So I got:

ClassRing (big market)
ClassRings (ditto)
Gerbil (very popular pet, plus brings back pleasant childhood memories)
Instruct (nice generic for any type of online teaching; .com is a random parking page)

And with a decent GD coupon code, I spent <$100 for the bunch. Good luck to me & all other .co owners!

Im ashamed of you guys, really. $28 flushed down the drain hundreds of times in this thread. And no one defend this crap, sure there will be big sales, by the chosen one's and the registrar of premiums you guys dont own and thats it, way of .mobi.

Sad week

You may very well be right. But it's kind of like buying a lottery ticket. Even though you know you're almost certain to lose, that little thrill of possibility provides enough entertainment to make the small investment worthwhile. (Not a perfect analogy, I know, but good enough for me.)

P.S. If anyone's interested, some of the larger U.S. cities still available in .co (as of a short while ago) are Sioux City, Pawtucket, and New Britain.

 

[Johnn]

I will wait for the drop list - same time next year.

it is like giving hand in delivery of beautiful baby , although it is not your baby .....

I have noticed your posts on a few different boards and noticed you are really negative. No one has the foresight to see if this extension will take off or not but dont flame people that are risk takers. Some people are conservative and some are aggressive. Nothing wrong with that imo. I think with the sales that were already reported like o.co and e.co and a.co for big $$ it is something that seems worth investing in. I like the odds and if it dont work out than so be it. Nice to be on it when it started if it does take off. As far as being a domainer, the reported first day sales are good for everyone in domaining. I guess my point is dont be so negative towards people.

Yep. I posted this yesterday on FB.

I can't wait for the scams to begin. Most of the scams in the new extentions start with someone wiring their friend some money after doing a deal through Escrow.com. Usually the buyer uses Privacy so you can never tell who it is.

Then, all of a sudden it hits DN Journal and the pumpers go crazy. I know how it works and I have seen it numerous times. If you are a newbie, make sure yo have your eyes wide open with some of the lowlifes start pumping sales. The name of the game is to take your money, so if you are not an insider be very careful about sending someone else into early retirement with some idiotic purchase of a pipe dream.

Don't believe the hype.

 

[Theo]

I got zilch.

Looks like zilch.co is taken

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

What makes my head hurt is this... I hear newbies and some with years experience alike ask how to make money, I see them spend hundreds if not thousands on hopes and dreams. I say start small, find a LLL net for $300 flip for $900 and so on, its how I started! I think half the issue is patience, people have non, get rich quick, wheres the short cut.. well its not .co , .mobi or .whatever, its hard work but it pays off. This regging a lottery ticket is sad, I can see doing one for fun or an experience succeeding domainer take a shot or two of the most premium .co but really 99.9% of this thread is full of wasted funds.

Common sense or time spent learning what names are valuable would stop this but apparently hard work is not the easy way.

Is anyone seeing traffic yet?

The traffic is mostly going to come from GOOFS who are checking to see if the names are taken. That will account for most of it. What most people are doing now is preparing their scams. The main gameplan is like the one with Sportsbook.mobi, where someone registers a name for $30 in December of 2006 and then sells it to someone a few weeks later for 129K, with the whole goal being to get it published in DN Journal, so they wire the money to themselves/friends. Of course, the sale is announced on a day where there is a big auction of dotmobi names, many including gambling terms owned by the alleged seller.

See my post below from earlier today in another thread. I will be watching this round of scams closely. The problem is that even when these fraudulent sales get publicized, nobody with any authority is willing to do the right thing and demand negative consequences for the scammers......and they don't apologize for reporting fraudulent sales after all of their "due diligence" on obviously bullshit sales.

My post is below.

I am aware that the whole thing is a scam. I will sit back and watch a bunch of people sell to themselves, and then lie about selling names to their friends, then lie about selling names to end-users. Then I will watch it get reported on Dn Journal and laugh as all of the pumpers run around huffing and puffing.

It is a SCAM and a JOKE, like 99 percent of all other extentions. History repeats itself. It can never be a serious extentions because only an imbecile or mental midget of the millionth degree would ever invest serious time or money into a .co site if they didn't already own the dotcom. All of the speculators have the names that get traffic, and there is zero chance for end-user adoption. The party is over before it begins, as usual. There will be clowns who put up moronic sites like they did with dotmobi.

You can check out the scam that was http://www.sportsbook.mobi/ and see how pitiful it will all be. They even convinced Dn Journal to publicize the sale as over 120K. Sorry, Charlie, but these scammers who pull these stunts are never outed in public.....mostly those who raise questions about the scams are chased away from the forums. More on the sportsbook.mobi scam below. Nobody takes responsibility for reporting these scam sales that never happened.

http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/dom...es01-23-07.htm

This time it was Sportsbook.mobi commanding the big bucks - a whopping $129,800 in a private sale that we carefully examined during our verification process.


The seller, Sule Garba, originally brought the sale to our attention soon after it was completed in mid-December. He was willing to make details of the deal public but the buyer, who wishes to remain anonymous, wanted to delay an announcement while he pursued other related domains he had his eye on (it is our policy to honor non-disclosure requests that come from either party to a transaction). This week, the buyer (whose identity we know) agreed to release the information and the broker he was working with to acquire domains, SpareDomains.com, sent us the documentation we require before reporting a sale.

The exchange was handled by Escrow.com so I called the company's president, Brandon Abbey, to verify the information I had been given was accurate and that his company had completed the transfer of both the money and the domain. Abbey had to secure permission from both the buyer and seller before he could comment on the transaction, but once he had done so, he confirmed that the money was paid and the name delivered to the new owner.

The most amazing thing about this deal is that Garba says he registered the domain by hand in October for just over $30! The name was apparently registered during the .mobi sunrise period for trademark holders but was then released back into the general registration pool, possibly because the trademark claim was ruled to be invalid by the registry. Garba just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
