.co domain showcase. Showcase your .co domain names

[JB Lions]

Yes I am a N00b but if you do a search for any major keyword you do not see a ccTLD show up. Its usually just .com, .org, or .net. I am just putting my two cents in about this whole thing. All I am saying in google does not show very many ccTLD's in its first few pages upon doing a search. Unless Google is going to change this to conform to .co then .co is not going ot be as big as everyone is saying. They are already having a problem in the UK where they have co.uk.

Part of the reason for that is, those extensions have been around longer and most people like the .com for all the obvious reasons. It not only works in the SERPS, but branding wise, offline advertising etc. If it's a product, merchants are usually the most relevent and most merchants have the .com. I wouldn't build a site out on anything else if I was a merchant, there are other marketing channels to consider and the .com is the one you want. But if you wanted too, you could. Good site, good links in, some age, all that good stuff and you can rank.

Another example. Just for the hell of it, pick a few major terms, one like flowers -

Got a .vg on page 1 Google.

Got me a few nice .co alternatives to popular and generic .com's (trademark free and in high paying niches). It took a long time to find just a few domains that met this criteria (danged trademarks), so hopefully the traffic will start rolling in...although I gotta wait 24 hours to see traffic stats.

unless you got domains with traffic its a waste of time unless they are spanish imho,the only winner here is the registrar.There domains with a top 100 alexa traffic ranking and the typo is rarely above top 10 million so it just goes to show that its going to be a titanic struggle to make cash from them......

Brad, as a rule I don't heavily invest in any TLD besides the original triad: com/net/org

We saw a minimal effort to brand things ".WS" for "Website" then it was ".CC"

Thanks, I've been wondering what the .WS fuss was all about. But what was the intent of the .CC?

Credit Card?

Sorry about being off topic

.cc is the cctld for coco islands... Google is useful sometimes

Yes, I know that, I'm not an idiot. (I asked for the intent, not the literal meaning )

I'm just wondering what the hype for the .CC was all about. Like for example, .TV is for Tuvalu, but people got hyped because of the "television" angle. Same for .ME

So, again, why did people flock to the .CC?

 

[silentg]

Is it CC for Creative Commons?

 

[tonyfloyd]

FoolsGold.co is available....

 

[Nathan King]

I think leaving the "m" off at the end is much more common than most typos...it is right by the spacebar and right before you instinctively press enter. Only time will tell though.

 

[Hostlead]

wwwmyspace (.) co

confirmed

not that special...could've had pretty much any domain like that. it's the fact that there are two typos, not one. but still I'd expect at least 50 visits per day.

 

[gilescoley]

wwwmyspace (.) co

MySpace is also a TM, I would delete the name if possible

 

[xr3dpill]

...special enough

 

[Jilo]

Nothing special about the name at all, a $30 risk may end in a lawsuit if myspace believe you are getting $$$ from their trademark... Agree with gilescoley... Delete if possible.

Got fed up waiting on Sedo to add my .co to the list.

Been 2 days.

So I moved 5 to Bodis.

It has not even been 30 minutes and I already have someone inquiring about one of the .co.

Hard to valuate these at present but will keep you posted.

I have noticed your posts on a few different boards and noticed you are really negative.

He's not negative, he's just being realistic and down to earth.

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.

There is a lot to be learned from the past. Unfortunately many newbies deliberately choose to ignore past failures, thinking they will not be repeated. Wrong !

As for Overstock that bought o.biz and o.co, I'm saying that it's a lot of money for URL shorterners. That's what they are, period. I understand the power of branding but please...
Do you really think their purchase is going to boost .biz ? No way. One single end user does not dictate the market. Likewise the popularity of .co will depend on usage and end user adoption.
The only sure thing at this point is, .co is the official ccTLD of Colombia.
Some people seem to believe it's a new extension, it isn't.
.com.co has been in usefor years, they are just opening the second level like many other extensions before.

About these sales, strange timing BTW isn't it ? Talk about building hype.

How much did the auctions end for on pool and namejet?
