Well I've concluded my purchases of .MX domains. I know some of the new guys on the forums have asked for help in what to purchase and strategies so here's mine if it helps. If others want to join in and post there names and strategy- feel free to post here.

I think I purchased a name at every price drop point (GD). This is probably the first landrush where my purchase were clearly planned out. My theory and reasoning was if I am purchasing a domain name for $800+ during a landrush then I better approach this with an end user mindset and that means DEVELOPMENT/ DEVELOPMENT strategy. I also embraced the mindset that these names are long term investments and would not peddle them on the forums for sale at any point like people have already been doing which I think will severely hurt the resell market (but that is a whole new post on its own).
That said, I purchased names mostly on how easy it would be for me to develop them and cater them to my audience. In this case I segmented my audience to 2 groups- Spanish speaking Mexicans and English Speaking Mexicans. I stayed with industries that were global where in English words would still work strongly in that country hence my purchases of Information.mx and Technology.mx. Doesn't matter where you're from, you know those words and both will make great portals or news sites.
I also wanted to diversify and get a name domain- hence I picked up Carlos.mx being the most popular name in Mexico.
I wanted a geo name. I personally like and prefer country geos in targeted language so I got Francia.mx (France).
Since technology is my background and passion I also grabbed Nube.mx (cloud- as in cloud computing) and Servers.mx I went for the spanish word since that is the rhetoric being used by Sun and 3Com on the Spanish/Mexican version of there sites for Nube and significantly hire google mexico results. Also Servers is both english and spanish with adsense results.

3 letter words are always solid long and short term investments so I went for those that showed ads when googled, a few million results and where used in both English and Spanish and where I have had success selling before in other cctlds. Fax.mx Get.mx Med.mx Man.mx TVS.mx get.mx will be a .mx reseller. Med will be a Medical portal with @med.mx email addresses and considering sub domains.

I hope this post was helpful and gave folks some insight into one man's approach to what I consider to be a solid extension with great long term potential for massive growth and success.

Well, good luck getting an ROI with one of the most greediest corrupt landrushes I've ever seen for a non repurposed cctld. I for one am not giving them my money. They could've been more open and direct with this landrush. I had my list of possible names to register waiting for prices to drop to something more reasonable and manageable for an unproven cctld only to find them being pulled at certain price drops, not regged, just pulled, made unavailable. WTF? I don't remember them mentioning they'd be doing that. A lack of transparency like that doesn't instill trust that's for sure. Wasted my time is what it did. Anyway, rant over. Good luck.

I guess you are referring to the "invalid domain name" that shows up when you try to register many .mx domains (at least at Godaddy, haven't tried other registrars).

I was suspicious at first too, but I've been watching this and I found out that this message shows up when a domain has been recently registered. For example, I registered 8 .mx names yesterday and all of them now show up with that same message. So, I believe that this is a temporary message, while the whois or a central database is updated, or the payment is cleared. A few days later the name should appear with usual message of "domain already taken".

This has been confirmed by other people in a thread related to .mx at another forum.

So, in my opinion, you waited too long to register the names you were interested in, and most of them were registered by others. It happened to me also with several names...

Of course, I can't be 100% sure of this, but everything points in that direction.

You are mistaken. Firstly this is a Dutch auction hence at every price drop- domain investors will register domains based on budget and "worth" criteria. Keen investors snatched up the names before you did hence why you get that error. The database is updating during that "invalid" code period.

[gentlesavage]

If that is so than I stand corrected.

Sounds to me like a well thought out & executed strategy. Best of luck with it. How much did you pay for those domains listed?

[netfleet]

Will reg prices drop dramatically on 1st Nov? .MX is still in landrush right?

Thanks!

Hey .MX investors...

Snapnames is hosting a cctld auction in January. Their system wasn't set up to accept .MX domain names. I contacted Jonathan over there and he told me that they got Engineering involved and the problem should be fixed on Dec 21st. I wasn't aware of the auction until this week. I think this would be a great for .MX investors to showcase their domains to the masses and start getting some solid sales in. So that said...

Submit your .MX domain names!!!

[James Jean]

Hey everyone! The auction systems is fixed and now accepts .MX domain names! I just submitted 28 names.....
So... submit away!

[saucey]
