Are you buying .CO?

[snoopy]

While I know Domain Age is a major factor in SEO, I personally think a $40 punt for a high volume/low competition keyword is worth a shot.

Couldn't the same type of thing be bought in .cc/.ws etc for similar money and it wouldn't have the confusion issues?

I only got sfm.co and 864.co.

If I had bought any I would be listing on
http://www.flipping.co/
I didn't buy any .co , so I will never ever visit that site, because it might prove that, once again, I am wrong

Will be a lot of money wasted by domain speculators .

going into refib ...... shock horror ......... is there really speculation in the domaining industry??

I 'pre-regged' 2 domains (computing.co and isp.co) and got this email today:

Your purchase could not be completed, therefore we
will be refunding the cost of registration.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you for your business.

Ah well that's the height of my involvement with .co!

I did reg one as it does have 135,000 exacts wouldwide and I do own the .com.au and was surprised it was still available as it seems everyone has pre-registered all the good ones.

I got www.touristattractions.co and it has already been getting traffic parked, my one and only .co purchase.

Some say the traffic for .co is coming from domainers checking if the name is available
Is the parking company paying on any of the visits?

Perhaps a reason to grab a few while you still can

Wouldn't this just put it on par with .ws/.cc/.tv/.to etc? I would have thought it surprising myself if google was to treat these names as related to Colombia.

I bought sello.co and today received this reply on another domain forum...

Low-mid $xxxx.

"Sello" is Spanish for "postage stamp". .co for obvious reasons goes well with Spanish names. "Sello" is also very close to "Sellos" which is a category definer on Spanish Ebay.

If you know where this can be found for reg. fee, please let me know...

I've replied in the forum suggesting they can make an offer, but does anyone have experience targeting spanish end-users?

Cheers.
