Well it's not impossible to start showing up on google for good keywords in .pro. As of late it seems to be taking off and for such huge keywords like sail and sailing I think it's a good sign.

I personally wouldn't have left rise or communications.pro go to auction for a hundred bucks as although its great to see activity on Sedo. Typically we haven't seen a lot of bidding action on these auctions.

under the business.pro listing it says:

Offer Description

BUSINESS.COM sold for $350 Million!! Develop this name, get good SEO ranking and make lots of money!!! SEDO appraised this domain name for $10,000.

I realize pro is an alternate extension, but the potential for this domain is big! .pro is making huge strides at getting out into the broader market as more people are becoming aware of the extension. It's all good.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=522420

ps. what if you wanted to trump the competition what would be the real value of owning business.pro? I think business is a generic enough word to do it with. Tell me if i'm wrong but i don't think there should be any issues with developing the pro version here.

Looks like people are making offers on .pros that take there interest and sellers are taking a punt hoping for more bidders.
Really surprised business sold at that price. If this had been in the godaddy or snapnames auctions I'd have thought it would have raised more.

No new bid -

BUSINESS.PRO US$4600 Sedo
Following the link to the winning bid it shows a second bid from some one else.

Did anyone watch to see if this got picked off in the last minute or did someone not want to let go of it at that price and a friendly buyer came along

I see a 3 hour or so difference I think on the bids...still a second bid

4,6k is way too low IMO for this keyword.
dot co 80k; dot me 50k ; dot tv 100k.

Even though dot pro is still behind these4,6k is unacceptable IMO. I HOPE it was a friendly bidder.

offtopic: dot com sold for 150k in '97 and re-sold in '99 for 7,5mil. makes me laugh

If people are coming in and buying .pros on Sedo they are surely searching for 'em...as we know to find a .pro results don't just pop up on regular sedo search requests.

Great to see the PR posted on behalf of registry.pro on the Godaddy auction which suggests there will be another upcoming auction. Hopefully that will bring a larger marketing push a long with it. The last one was certainly fun even if I came out with just a wee.pro!
