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. B-)

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.

The best generic with a professional context is Lecture.pro. Lecture.tv has 1 bid on Sedo. e-Lectures.com sold for $2,000. eLearning is a boom industry so this is probably the one to keep. The downside is Lecture is not a premium domaining word and 1 bid on Sedo and previous sale is probably not going to be enough to sell the .pro.

The strongest brandable is Galaxy.pro. If you put "GalaxyPro" into Google you get 218,000 uniques which is a good association score. There are alot of bids on Sedo for domains with Galaxy in. Galaxy.fr has 2 bids and iGalaxy.de has a bid so the keyword has international appeal. I have sold 2 brandables, Touch.pro and Switch.pro and probably if they were appraised, alot of people would have advised me to drop them.

Your annual renewal bill is $440. Rather than spending that for a couple of years, you would be better off buying dropped domains on Snapnames. For example, Escrow.pro sold for $750 and Appraisal.pro sold for $600. I think there is more likelihood of selling a .pro like that for $3,000-$5,000 to an end user than selling a domain in your list for $1,000-$3,000.

I assume the domains in your list were hand registered from the WHOIS and that is not the best way to go. I have dropped Computing.pro and Ancestry.pro in the last couple of weeks, these are stronger keywords than the domains on your list so have a look on Snapnames. Therre have been some great drops on Snapnames over the last couple of years and saleable .pros like Tennis.pro, Chess.pro, Politics.pro, and Stockmarket.pro have sold for very affordable prices. I bought Local.pro at Snapnames for $59 and sold it for $3,500.

I am still dropping .pros I registered from the WHOIS in 2007. With hindsight, I should have stuck to drops, the aftermarket and Snapnames.

New .pro reg after a loooong time:

Xtreme.Pro

Works for me but I'd be happy to know what you think about it, cheers!

iXtreme.com sold for $333 but it is the only previous sale for the keyword. Superlatives work well with .pro and Extreme.pro was registered in July 2006 which is early for a .pro brandable. I don't think there is any mileage in a derivation of a superlative though, historical keyword sales for Xtreme are not on your side.

My personal feeling is if you can develop the site and feel it has commercial value than its a keeper.

On the other hand, even some of the worser names are most likely completely sold out in other extensions. But at some point it is a good idea to trim the portfolio.

I can share with you some of my 2 of most brilliant pickups that I'll surely drop. Be careful with the typos.

EXPRESSO.PRO
CARRIBEAN.PRO

some of my better ones that I'm keeping (I think are)

organize.pro
conferencecall.pro
conferencecalls.pro
goals.pro
shoppingcart
shoppingcarts.pro
calendars.pro
3dtv.pro
crush.pro
fling.pro
harmony.pro
cotai.pro
ecard.pro
facts.pro
finish.pro
glitter.pro
golfballs.pro
greetingcard.pro
greetingcards.pro
ecigarettes.pro

Usually it will be the second I let it drop is the second i'll get someone interested in one.

ps. recently picked up

airlineticket
airlinetickets.pro

but probably paid too much for 'em

some others..I've got that I might develop

bleach.pro
lice.pro
booty.pro ?!

cheers!

xtrememotorsports.com $2,100
xtremespace.com $1,949

http://www.google.co.in/search?q=xtremepro - 327,000 results

Works on many levels, but the one I'm interested in is Xtreme Sports - there are tons of them, and the extension is a natural for pro athletes. Maybe a stretch but I believe it to be a prudent investment. :)

I've dropped a few .PROs in the past 4-5 weeks, so happy snapping. :D

What do you guys think of Human.pro? How much should I sell it for?

I can see it having value as a humanism website because of the Pro Human angle or for an organisation like Amnesty International who use the slogal "Save the human". I don't think it has any value to a domainer.

If anyone wants Noah.pro, you can have it for free. It expires 12/25/2010 and is at Encirca. First one to send me info for push via PM gets it...not that I expect there to be a rush : )

Best wishes w/ your .Pro's people

Sorry Noah didn't work out. I think you bought it from me.

Hi Guys,

I'm going to sell a few Pros. I've posted them in the Make Offer section. I might sell four, I might sell ten, at this point I'm not sure.

Here's the Link

Thanks

seguros.pro-3000 US, closed today on Sedo, and finally seeing some activity again on that account. Though certainly not thanks to anything Sedo has done since modifying the manner in which it returns search results. I can barely even find my own dotpro domain listings. Fortunately, someone else did. Cheers...

great job!! I think these sales when reported on dnjournal offer a big boost to the extension. seguros = insurance I believe.

Jelly, your comment further confirms my earliest impressions of you that you are, indeed, most kind and generous. Regrettably, my contributions of late to the extension are hardly worthy of praise. Within the past year, I met the woman who I hope will be the next Mrs. MJS, and have otherwise been sorely distracted. I am, in fact, most indebted to persons like you and Andrew who help keep the flame of dotpro alive despite the challenges of an uneven playing field that continues to keep dotpro as the reigning Cindarella of gtlds. The fact of the matter is that a gentleman from Spain has chosen to take a position in the extension and has placed bids on a number of spanish language domains that I registered some years ago. I would not be surprised to learn that others owning such domains have been likewise contacted. For what its worth, as internet usage continues to advance into new and growing markets, so too do the chances increase that dotpro will be taken up by new money coming into the market. Too bad that foreign languages were always my achilles heel during high school and college...:hehe:Thanks, Jelly...

I definetly see a large number of .pros that are foreign developed. I think its a good sign for the extension. Also, I'm happy to report that I'm achieving good ranking for my filmmaker.pro and cotai.pro sites. Filmmaker is back on top page of yahoo, bing and coming up in google. Also cotai is on page 10 of google and has advanced from page 16.

My fears of about a month or so ago are slowly going away as I now feel I've got a better chance for seo in the big 3!

ps. filmmaker.pro is also listed in dmoz directory which is a big step for me as a developer as its my first site to be listed there. Happy it was a .pro!
