The .PRO Discussion

[InvisionTech]

It seems .PRO is slowly coming out of the cage with cheaper reg prices than they were a year ago and major registrars like netsol taking notice of the extension and promoting it.

Here are some that I picked up in last couple of days:

Alexandria.pro

Anchorage.pro

Arlington.pro

Belfast.pro

Birmingham.pro

Budapest.pro

Durham.pro

Fairfax.pro

Italian.pro

Lisbon.pro

Fire away with your regs after the relaunch on September 8th, 2008.

Google Keyword Planner gives you great info to evaluate your keywords. "Exact Match" means only those words in that exact order. No words before, after or in-between. This is the true measure of quality search metrics.

Not only keyword itself, I always check it with "pro" (before and after, with and without space)...

Just launched THIS SITE. I'd appreciate feedback. It's a work in progress, so when making suggestions, realize this is just day one.

It's nice, but with a domain like that and the portfolio you have, you might want to invest in a professional theme / implementation - I recommend a wordpress site, though you probably could do better even with the builder you're using.

And I'd put the domains on the home page, people don't really navigate too much now, specially on mobile.

Also, 'Available' has a different meaning, you probably should put "Domains For Sale" or something.

App.pro
Nice end user.

How are three letter .pro domains registered? Did I miss the memo or something?

App.pro is killer. Turnkey.pro looks like a nice one too!

Some L/LL/LLLs were sold via NameJet and GD auctions in the past...
+ by Registry directly (via their internal program)...

kolo.pro was registered in January and paid up to 2021, Russia...

I picked up Kungfu.pro on the 5th, had been tracking it for over 2 months.

Promo price, so mighty pleased.

Maybe I can start my own academy.

kolo.pro was registered in January and paid up to 2021, Russia...

Is "kolo" the word for "bike" in Czech?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I guess it was registered for colocation-services or just as brandable LLLL...
"kolo" in native Russian doesn't mean anything.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Is "kolo" the word for "bike" in Czech?

Yes, visit kolo.cz
Also means "circle" in Ukrainian...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Another possible target - well known brand: kolo-international.com/pro/

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Godaddy should really work on its issues with .pro and make it one of the offerings.

name.com - the same story...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Namecheap just started selling .PRO for $3.06

 

[rokoroko]

Camgirls . Pro

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

~300 .PROs in my portfolio at now (keywords + LLLLs)...

So, what are the real .pro registration stats?

No additions or drops in 3-4 days?

Zero registrations? Zero drops?
