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.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

So Russia, France, Poland...
+ NL-endusers are not rare in .PRO, sample: webshop.pro

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

TECH.PRO was sold for $25,500 in 2012 by Silver to US-enduser...
Website was closed some time ago for future development...

Working US-enduser (Orlando, FL): GroundSource.pro

App.pro
Nice end user.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

the registrant name is Godaddy

Yes, but Sponsoring Registrar: 101domain, Inc
LOL

 

[Nanda Dianto]

Yes, but Sponsoring Registrar: 101domain, Inc
LOL

I don't know what the deals between them. Only godaddy knows. But registrant name matters for domain registration.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

No any deals...
It says that GoDaddy is still NOT accredited registrar on .PRO and acts as reseller...
That's all.

I've been meaning to post this for a couple weeks, but kept forgetting to snap the pic when I passed it. Here's a billboard in Chicago for TURNKEY.PRO:

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

Nick V, that's awesome, TFS! They should have had the website domain name written little bigger than it is.

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.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

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!

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

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

Saw this recent registration that is not numeric: beefjerky.pro

I purchased laptop memory from memoryupgrade.pro about 4 years ago, but it is now a parked page.
