The domain name TOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOP.TOP has been discovered as a featured domain on Sedo's homepage today. The 63 character .TOP domain name was registered on June 3rd this year, by an Austrian individual.
The .TOP domain name currently has around 135,000 domain registrations and is seemingly very popular in China. There have been reports of high value .TOP domain sales (including some threads here on NamePros), but without proof, those sales cannot be verified.
So far, the Sedo listing has been viewed 100 times, and whilst anyone can feature a domain name on Sedo's homepage for a fee (currently a maximum of 69EUR), I think it's a good time to ask whether Sedo should start vetting the domain names that are submitted to Sedo's Featured Domains list.
At the moment, it looks like anyone can purchase a featured listing for any domain name without any approval from Sedo. I have never purchased a featured listing, so I'm just going by what I can gather from Sedo's website. However, if Sedo took the time to approve or disapprove of each domain submitted to the section, I think they could improve the overall quality of that section, which perhaps may lead to a more active Featured Domains section.
As I look at Sedo.com's Featured Domain section now, there are some great domains in there - but they are being obscured by terrible domains such as TOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOPTOP.TOP - taking these names out will give more exposure to higher quality names featured on Sedo.
Do you agree?
