.CreativeCom Marketing

[dgridley]

Some are seeing the .cc ext as .CreditCard..

I was thinking today that a nice marketing approach might be to the junior or .CommunityCollege(s), .CatholicChurch(es), or .ChristianChurch(es).

We need to be creative and think out of the box...

I agree tho that sales have been spotty or downright terrible.. but HV keywords are still nice for those intending to develop them and looking for a low-cost alternative to the .coms.

Here's a list of past sales on Afternic Bazaar as posted in another forum (by Steve):

Pretty disappointing, eh? Some didn't or barely made back the reg fee.

Any ideas or comments are welcome...

Agree, .cc is good for development, not worth much in the wholesale market unless you own a major keyword such as Music.cc Games.cc Sports.cc News.cc etc...

The sale prices arnt really surprising, the Bazaar to me is a wholesale market place for Domain Resellers to get rid of names they no longer wish to own.

I have never seen so many .cc threads here at NP or anywhere else for that matter since I've been a member, seems like the .cc rush just started but there are only a handful of Domainers who accept them at this time, perhaps support will grow in the future, then again perhaps not.

To me the big downside to .cc is that it has no standard identity, I see/think "Credit Card" as well at first glance but we know that dont work for all words/terms.

I only own one .cc, if by some chance I would ever decide to reg another one it would be a single word Domain for sure with at least 250k+ Overture, but thats me.
