.CO and the rush. What if...

skylineleong · 07-22-2010, 04:24 AM

Anyone get high traffic .co or revenue?

***infosec3*** · 07-22-2010, 04:30 AM

Contrary to some of the comments about Godaddy, I am pleased with my Godaddy experience. I preordered three names with them and got two. One of them is a vacation domain that appraises for 500,000 on the .COM. Of course, don't take that comparison to the letter, but it gives you an idea of the value fo the keywords. The one I did not get was MANHATTAN.CO, which from the start I had seen as beyond my reach and preordered just in case.

Dave · 07-22-2010, 04:32 AM

Got another one. Journalism.co

Am pleased with my two small investments now.

***infosec3*** · 07-22-2010, 04:50 AM

Yesterday I saw that 2012.co was available for registration. I left my computer for one or two minutes to go get a cup of water and by then the domain was gone. I then saw that 2013 was also available. This time, of course, I did not leave my computer, but registered the domain, however, the confirmation email showed a refund and an unsuccessful registration. I asume you are experiencing this too. Because, let's face it, inspite of the doubts expressed by many experienced domainers, who are discoraged by what happened with other extensions, the majority of domainers operate on a "what if..." mentality. Maybe the doubt and pessimistic expressions of experienced domainers are the best allies of "newcommers".

kie.co = heavy traffic =D

ssamriga · 07-22-2010, 05:16 AM

we'll see if 2012.co gets renewed up to 2012

What is heavy traffic? Neither the .COM or .CO.UK are Alexa ranked so I don't see where the traffic would be coming from.

If available in 2012.co, I will get it. Ofcourse not after 2012.

kevlar · 07-22-2010, 05:34 AM

I got

Corpse.co
=D

kev · 07-22-2010, 05:37 AM

I personally wouldn't reg these names

bmugford · 07-22-2010, 05:42 AM

Average LLL.com rarely sell for $XX,XXX. Most trade between domainers for mid - high $X,XXX.

LLL.net are worth mid $XXX on average. LLL.org are worth low - mid $XXX.

LLL in INFO/BIZ/US have very limited value.

I fail to see LLL.co selling for big numbers ever. At least not for random ones that don't have meanings.

kevlar · 07-22-2010, 05:48 AM

i feel pronounceable LLL.co are worth snatching..

especially CVC.CO..

If you want to roll the dice on quality ones that makes more sense. I just don't see the random ones like ZQK.co being worth anything.

If our Godaddy landrush names are still saying "Pending application"..Im guessing they will be going to auction, is that correct??

I have 2 I am still waiting on? When will teh auctions take place, will we be notified by email etc etc

Anyone know the process?

fruttolo · 07-22-2010, 06:55 AM

I feel a lot of excitement about this new extension

I registered 4 LLL.co.
I hope to receive a little of traffic also from other TLDs (such as co.uk, co.in, co.jp ...) if registered

MattheP · 07-22-2010, 07:05 AM

Is there any problem between .co root server and registrars? I am checking some names, and they all have same whois status: "Not found: " (should be available) , however, some of those names are reported as registered through registrars, and some are not?

Check first your domain name at whois.co :if your name is there, the domain is yours.

MattheP · 07-22-2010, 07:11 AM

There are lots of random LLL domains available with other ccTLDs (like .me and .tv), and almost no market. And I dont think .co will become more popular then tv or me. I would stay away from random LLL.co. Actually, I would stay away from .co domains in general, except for super premium terms.

No... first you need to check .CO Registro | Whois. second, if your name is on the whois then it is not going to auction and it will be yours within 24hours (today at 2pm PST) if it still says "There were no records matching your WHOIS query." then it is going to auction and you will have to wait next week to start biding.

fruttolo · 07-22-2010, 07:14 AM

I think that this ccTLD dot CO has a great potential, and I think that after 1 year all these 3 letters .co will be worth "something"!
Just wait and see, but take them TODAY while you still can... otherwise it might be too late... and you know what I mean

There are some LLL I searched for yesterday and were free but I was in doubt because of the relative high price.
Checked them today *to buy* and... are all taken

that's life.

be careful... there are sharks looking for what u seek, and when they see a nice word they take it before you do!

YES! Especially for those that are not doing LIVE REGS for whatever reason

I sometime think the same thing for the esti/eval domain sites...wondering if it may be keywords or lengths that may get sent to the domain admin if available???? prolly just conspiracy theory on my part

gilescoley · 07-22-2010, 07:34 AM

The WHOIS is showing this for both

"*NOTE: Names that appear to be available may be registered but not yet reflected in WHOIS. Please check back shortly"

Damn..not looking good I'm afraid
