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.

Co or Pro

Earlier this week I watched a video at DomainSherpa dot com

It features a Mr Hazen who is without a doubt very a sharp person.

It was a little on the long side and very informative, i was getting to around the 75 - 80 minute mark ( by this point waiting for it to be over ) when all of a sudden I was absolutely stunned by his remarks.

In one to 2 sentences he spoke very briefly about .co and then .Pro

In the end it felt more like an infomercial about other extensions...

I haven't seen this video yet, but he if said; "vigorously avoid these two extensions", I agree with every word he said. IMO.

Lawdy that's a long video. Did you get anything out of it other than an infomercial?

The remarks on .pro was simply to explain that some of his friends are experimenting with .pro to achieve ranking for their keywords in alternate extensions. The article did not draw any concrete conclusions against .pro's but did state that some have achieved ranking results while others hadn't.

I don't know why MicroGuy made a comment against .pro prior to actually doing the research (ie work) of reading the article in advance of posting.

Well it's my opinion that you either ignore him :zzz: or see if you can find the bug spray. . 8-X

Just put him on your Ignore list. It's not like you're going to miss anything worth reading.

Okay this is maybe crazy on my part...but this is how the interview played out to me.
1) An 18k .info purchase and making 56k per month
2) Not sure if the colombia extension will realy rank well in the us or not
3) some friends that are attorneys are buying .pro though he is not sure how that will work out

To me it kind of sounded like an Afilias pitch...or maybe it was just a coincidence that this interview happened when it did....i have been told that I look into things way to much:lol:

Yes. And his comments at the 18:40 minute mark of the video are especially astute. IMO.

I was wondering when I was going to get wee.pro from GoDaddy and contacted my friend who got pet.pro and toy.pro who explained that GoDaddy informed him that they would be made available in our GoDaddy accounts.

The word is Godaddy is working with Afilias to make .pro's available for registration.

The word is Godaddy is working with Afilias to make .pro's available for registration.

I guess that this was the key: Afilias supporting the TLD. :wave:

Yes. I like to roll dice and whatever their numbers total, that's how many zeros I add.

proshop.net is on GreatDomains Auction!

I have MP4.pro and MP4Player.pro and I feel like I need to get a move on selling them before the technology is history. I'll probably try them on CAX. Hoping that they'll go ape over the MP4 and not dismiss it because of the pro.

And I'll probably be looking to sell Swimwear. By the stats, it's close to the best I have.

And I've luv as much input as you can output. Thanks !!!

I honestly would recommend purging these domains from your registrar account immediately.

This will prevent any brief moment of weakness from causing their renewal. Then turn your attention to the only viable gTLD alternative and join the petition to eradicate this thread along with the entire .MOBI forum. (())

Good luck and I hope to see you on the other side. IMHO. )):ghost:-:ghost(
