.co .CO - The Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[ZOX]

Well, it seems like Colombia will be releasing .CO to the internet market:
...
http://www.mincomunicaciones.gov.co...ge=./mods/contenido/noticia_user_view&id=1043
...
This could truly be a big competitor to .COM (especially being a "typo").
I would say with proper guidance .CO could REALLY have a bright future!
...
Let me know your thoughts please.

Man alive Im amazed how dense some people r!!

Its hilarious to read some of the tripe that is spouted on these forums but pseudo intellectuals with no foresight R ALWAYS GOING TO SPEW FORTH THEIR BS. I cant help but think that the iq level has dropped below 100 for the majority of folks out there. I normally give people more credit than they desreve & Im done with that!!!

SPANISH LANGUAGE IS SPOKEN BY 500 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. .GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR U KNOW WHAT & LOOK AT THE WORLD INSTEAD OF COLOMBIA AS A MARKET !!

Im done wasting my time on here . Thx for opening my eyes as to the time i waste on this & other forums.

Who decided it is worthless show me the numbers ?! Do you mean all .co domains should be deleted and dropped ? is that what you want , and who said they do care about how much a domain is worth , it is irrelevant they want to use the internet period .
Second most .com domains is worthless to , so ? I really dont get your point , this country has 45 Million people with 1.3 Million .co domains much like any cctld and even much less .

No I don't mean all should be dropped, but most should. Anything worthwhile is going at enduser prices unless you're very lucky. So why would we here at NP bother ourselves with .co?

 

[VisionEdger]

Great. Are you selling fruit or do you know anyone selling fruit?

Again, do you know any Spanish speaking scientists who may be interested?

About $9 in registration fees each. Not only is .com better than .co, it is cheaper too. How much were they in .co?

Your posts show us that you lose money in domaining. Thanks for letting me know to ignore you after I've had the pleasure of only reading 2 of your responses

 

[VisionEdger]

also, the long term value of .co is uncertain.
The registry continues to promote .com.co for the local market, and .co as a global extension.

I think .co will continue to lose momentum as an alternate extension for international use, because the hype cannot be sustained forever, especially with many more extensions around the corner. In fact, a lot of the initial frenzy is gone a long time ago.
So yes, there is the local market as a last resort but i wouldn't expect too much. I'm not colombian so i'd rather err on the side of caution.

No I'm afraid I don't see the irony. You have a better chance to profit from a hand registered .com vs an aftermarket .co purchase. But hey, if you have it figured out...

this country has 45 Million people with 1.3 Million .co domains much like any cctld and even much less .

The majority of those .co domains are not owned by Colombians. Not all those 45 million people are actively using the internet. If you want decent statistics on the Colombian market, this should explain it:

They don't use the internet ok ? but it is already priced in . .de has 14 Million .co has 1.3 million , so it is already balanced as you see form the numbers , that's the difference between emerging markets and developed markets , some markets are really matured and some are still in their normal early growth , but that doesn't mean you cant invest in these , same applies to stocks investing , and domain owners don't need to be locals it is irrelevant to our discussion we are talking about their internet usage and traffic .

SPANISH LANGUAGE IS SPOKEN BY 500 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. .GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR U KNOW WHAT & LOOK AT THE WORLD INSTEAD OF COLOMBIA AS A MARKET !!

Outside of Colombia, .co is just a rebranded ccTLD. Nothing special.
If you target Spanish speaking people don't you think there could be a stronger likelihood that they will identify .co as the TLD of Colombia, and not a 'generic' TLD... when it's not perceived to be a typo of .com.

As for the local market, here the input from a local:
http://www.namepros.com/573976-co-official-discussion-showcase-sales-report-322.html#post4288900

10000 posts & u r still an IDIOT....CO !!

So do you have a success story to tell that involves .co ? I guess you are a heavy user of .co and you have branded your own business on a .co domain too, since it's so great.

 

[surprise]

http://www.internetworldstats.com/sa/co.htm

A quick look at the link provided earlier here shows the huge rapid growth in internet usage in Colombia , from 800K (2%) at 2000 to 25M(55%) at 2011 , ofcourse many don't understand this and will always come here and say .com is better ! which we all know , and you don't need to choose between extensions , you diversify , most at .com and .net some .de and cctlds and IDNs , thats what they call portfolio diversification , we dont need to choose between extensions , all good names are already registered at .com anyway remain some stupid names like luxuryapartmentsinlabutnotflorida.com lol ,so i dont see a problem if someone wants to register at .co and .ch few good names in local official language , you guys don't need to pop up every other post to post yours ".com is better" its really sound stupid with all due respect ofcourse ...

trolling

Trolling??

I was showing a simplistic observation that most of the time history tends to repeat itself.

There will always be those random high value sales in any extension.

But this also applies to the old saying, "like finding a needle in a haystack".

Stellar keywords in the .co extension may be worth holding, but only if aquired for a stellar (low) price.

It's not a myth or speculation that recently .co prices have dropped and or lost value. Look at LLL.co sales over the last few months. Can you deny that they have lost value?

This trend is not only focusing on .co. This is something that has happened to many extensions in the past, and will contiune as long as the industry is around.

Most new extensions are just revolving doors.

And alot of the times, the door smashes people right in the face.

:imho:

 

[jmcc]

ofcourse many don't understand this and will always come here and say .com is better !

The problem is that many people think in terms of .com and therefore what is good in .com should, by extension, be good in other TLDs and ccTLDs. By using the price of the equivalent domains in .com to gauge the value of your recent .co registrations, you fell into the same trap.

all good names are already registered at .com anyway

Not necessarily. There are some domainers who watch emerging trends and register domains that are likely to be valuable if those trends go mainstream.

remain some stupid names like luxuryapartmentsinlabutnotflorida.com lol ,

That is what is known as an Exact Match Domain in that it exactly matches the phrase used to search for such apartments in search engines. Though the value of such domains may have fallen in the last few days due to Google's algorithm tweak on EMDs.

you guys don't need to pop up every other post to post yours ".com is better" its really sound stupid with all due respect ofcourse ...

The problem is that in a highly speculative TLD such as .co ccTLD, everything is relative .com and the values of these speculative is linked to the equivalent in .com because .co is marketed as a typo or an abbreviation of .com. Of course people often can't believe the domains that are not registered in these speculative TLDs and then the domain registration frenzy begins. That's how registries make their money.

Exactly. I loved your entire post!

What you'll notice is that most of us that realize this went through our own door and learned the hard way. What's interesting is that cautioning others about the door has absolutely no effect. I guess it's just something most have to learn the hard way.

yes exactly mate , apparently you didn't learn it the hard way yet , i am saying that because you are warning people from registering .co domains whatever the name was but you are not warning them from registering .coms which ironically has tens of millions of worthless domains which equals = the number of all registered domains in a bunch of different extensions combined .co .me .tv .de .co.uk .ch and much more extensions

 

[hjkou]

You guys need a separate thread here, one for the discussion, showcase and sales reports of .CO domains, and one for bashing .CO domains.

Your looking at this the wrong way.

You are correct that people reg worthless names everyday in every extension including .com. We are not debating that.

What we are talking about here is the core value, short and long term of an extension.

This value is measured using relevant names that have value now and will in the future.

The opinion that I have is that the .co extension, along with many others are a dead end road when it comes to stable long term investments.

If you watch the market closely with domains that you can actually gauge it with (not random high sales) you will see the extension is taking the same route and trend many others have in the past.

BTW hee is sold by a np member :

someone just bought it through sedo, i had it listed at what there appraisal was $2500, they reneg'd to $1500, so was pretty happy, getting some traffic through on a couple of others there, but thats the 1st one ive sold there (at sedo)

ofcourse you can buy LLL.com with just 30 $ as well ...

Always comparing apples with oranges.
Even the crappiest LLL.com is worth at least 3K reseller in the currently depressed market.
On the other hand LLL.co have no liquidity. It's all a matter of luck. Just because a few have sold for 4 figures doesn't mean they all have the potential to sell.
Unlike their .com counterparts they have almost no built-in value.

Thats true , but it is also much harder and impossible to find such quality names available at .com , so whats the point form your post ...
