Another great Geo domain, Vail.co topped the.Co Land Rush Auction results reported by the .Co registry today (we already reported on Ban.co auction but the registry didn’t report it until today)
In all other $200K+ in Land Rush domain name auction results were reported
The .Co land rush auctions are coming to a close and just a handful of auctions are still ongoing, so this appears to be the last report we will be getting of Land Rush auction results.
I expect in the near term one of the auction houses will hold a auction of .Co owned or registry owned domains, but so far nothing has been announced.
Here are the results:
| ban.co | $24,500 |
| vail.co | $15,550 |
| blackfriday.co | $11,611 |

Vail.co a steal IMO. Tripadvisor lists 34 hotels and then they have other stuff
I have been typing on google.com search:
site:.co
for the last several weeks now and everyday the number of .CO sites have been growing by couple hundred thousand a day. Today it is at 50,700,000
I expect it to cross 51Million tomorrow.
.CO is on fire. Do not miss this one folks.
^^ doesn’t understand how that search string works ^^
(what a shocker)
site:.tld doesn’t limit itself to unique sites of that TLD. Its total pages indexed. The difference is not semantic. But yeah. Congrats. .co has now surpassed .mobi’s 31,200,000.
Yeah, that is right. An admitted .CO disparager Ls Morgan caves in and humbles himself to the .CO king. .CO is at 50,700,000 in exactly 2 months whereas .mobi is only at 31,200,000 pages after several years.
Morgan, I might just call my lawyer tomorrow morning from fedexing your deposition. Maybe there is some hope in you after all. We will have to see.
if you really have to have a sword fight, get a room guys.
.co is king? uh huh… Professional Wrestling is real too…
“Morgan, I might just call my lawyer tomorrow morning from fedexing your deposition”
Such a big shot to have a lawyer on call.
I welcome! I from Russia, excuse for broken English… Tell, why such interest to domains.co – only because of type-in?
All those domains are worth less tomorrow. Not one of those domains can be resold for a profit. Sure, one or two will sell to a “greater fool” speculator who will then loose money, otherwise a terrible SPECULATIVE purchase… not an investment, a speculative purchase.
That’s the way I see it and I feel obligated to be heard so newbies don’t put $5k worth of .co crap on their credit cards.
Not sure who is buying all these .co crap names but either something fishy is going on or this is the biggest bubble since 2006 real estate where house wives and firemen were making money flipping houses.
Anyone who thinks .co has any future is fooling themselves. That’s the way I see it and I’ve followed every domain extension launch very closely since I started in this industry in 1998.
All just speculation which is part of the American dream and that’s fine but let’s not pretend that buying a .co domain is an investment.
.mobi anyone? .cm anyone? .me anyone? How quickly we forget.
Save some money for .xxx, .nyc, .web
So if I am not mistaken. This is where the fun begins.
Now that the finally got the Landrush auctions (closed auctions at that) out of the way, it time for .CO to bring out the Premium auctions (open auctions).
Oh yes, and you thought it was over. Not yet, If I am not mistaken before years end they will start auctioning off the Premium domains that include some single letter/number domains and other Premium domains that where withheld from being registered for just this event.
I would expect to see some larger auction number this next go around, due to the fact that the auctions will be open (and not just 2-15 people bidding).
I would expect domainers, investors, and businesses step up for this auction.
Its not too often tat you get the chance to get at some of these Premium domains.
I fully expect this debate to go on for a while. Now is when an after market will be created and a baseline set for .CO domains.
.CO still has a long way to prove itself. I do NOT agree with how other people state that .CO is king…. ITS NOT KING.
But it has a great chance at being a great domain and maybe one day in the not too distant future to hold the title of the king domain. But its not there yet.
Just the way I see it
Cheers
@Slate,
Kudos to you for being the most sensible and intelligent guy here.
Yes, you are correct. CENTRAL COMERCIALIZADORA DE INTERNET S.A.S said has about 22,000 premium generic keywords on reserve for the upcoming landrush auctions.
I looked up such domains as:
seo.co
candy.co
SEO.CO for search engine optimization is a huge huge enormous business and for couple businesses in this field will be vying pretty hard for this key real estate. I mean this could be the difference between making $millions or making a few thousand. And this is just one key word. Just imagine multiplying by 22,000. And this is completely open to the public.
I believe what we have seen thus far is only the trailer. The entire movie is going to play itself out over months and years. Hold on to your tickets folks, because you ain’t seen nothing yet. Are we going to see $Million dollar bids, possibly.
The .CO era begins. Long live the new King.
“”All just speculation which is part of the American dream and that’s fine but let’s not pretend that buying a .co domain is an investment.
.mobi anyone? .cm anyone? .me anyone? How quickly we forget.
Save some money for .xxx, .nyc, .web””
Anyone with half a brain could see that none of those extensions are worth an investment.
.XXX only pertains to the Porn industry. (Insure.xxx) it doesnt even make scenes.
If you invest in .XXX with any type of name outside of the common porno names you are only wasting your money.
.NYC is only for New York City. It means nothing else except New York City. You cant even make a play on it for a decent hack. NYC will be worthless because not business outside of NYC would want to establish a site under that extension.
Web…. web could work. I will have to think on that one for a while and get back to you on it.
Mobi was doomed from the get go. Their big claim to fame was that every phone would have a mobi button. Now a smart person would ask, why would the manufacturers spend millions of more dollars in redesigns to put in a mobi button? Or even better, why use a .MOBI when .NET, .COM, .ORG, .CO, .TV all do the same thing (if you add a few adjustments in your site coding)
.CM??? Do I even need to get into this. What kind of marketing is .CM? Who would be interested in .CM? How could a business use .CM? Its pointless and if you cant see that then you are blind.
.ME. This one is self explanatory on why it failed. I mean there is only one way it can be marketed and that is a site all about … well…. ME!
What business in their right mind would invest in that? Why would a business want to use that extension?
In the end, it all comes down to businesses. That is why generics are so popular. By having a generic, it opens that many more businesses and thus commands a higher price.
If you think about it.
Law is more expensive then NewYorkLaw. Why because it pertains to more businesses. NewYorkLaw pretty much only pertains to law in New York. You just limited your potential end user. With the keyword law, everyone from NY can use it and every other state and/or country (that has the english language).
My point being is that extensions you mentioned had nothing to do with business. They failed for that reason and maybe poor marketing. If the businesses dont want the domains, then domainers don’t want the domains that means the extension is not worth much of anything.
I dont see .CO falling into the same category as those. It has a better marketing scheme. It is geared towards businesses and already has following of haters/lovers.
It still needs to prove itself but even before this most recent launch there where .CO sales in the thousands to tens of thousands (for english words) back in 2006-2008.
I just thought I would point that out that there where prior sales back when .CO was a non global TLD.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers
It will be interesting to see how many .CO owners move to the next generation DNS and burn their valuable .CO domains into flash memory in devices THEY can hold in their hands. THEY could then prove in court THEY are the owner.
Who really owns .COM domains ?
Who really owns .CO domains ?
…Registrars ?
I thought about it and I will pass on .WEB.
It doesn’t make any scenes for a physical business. Its possible that it could work for an online only business but they dont make up enough of the big rollers to push this to the forefront in the extension world.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers.

“Not sure who is buying all these .co crap names…”
DUNG.CO is still available for $26
Such a big shot to have a lawyer on call.

LOL. The guy is a total clown. “Fedexing your deposition” – he doesn’t even understand the meaning of the words he just wrote, unless I’ve been deposed without my knowledge.
Anyway, I don’t have a whole lot more to say on .co, save to reiterate that I do have an open, standing wager available to anyone willing to escrow their side of the bet (as will I) on it’s future as a gTLD. We will bet an over/under on the collective market cap of publicly traded companies using .co as their primary web presence.
@LS Morgan
You will be Assimilated…

Ls Morgan, you just lost my favor again. Expect to get your initial mail by Friday. You will be receiving a deposition letter subsequent.
This was at 500,000 just couple days again. And now it is already at 511,137 registrations. This may be the fastest race to 1Million registrations ever. One thing I will say is that .CO s look real nice on the URL address. I like it better than .com for sure.
Just type site:.co on google and you will see all the developed .CO
Me from Mars– me not know what dot co means
Being as all of the auction results have been reported, would it be possible to get a list of all reported sales based on sell price?
MHB, maybe you could even start a new entry?
Thanks!
@BullS
Do you get the .CORN channel on MARS ?

To whom they still say .co is for colombia :
yahoo.co.uk – is this mean yahoo uk in columbia?
Welcome to the Drug Lords era…
Strictly from the numbers, .co has clearly surpassed it self higher than subpar extensions such as .tv,.cc,etc.Can’t argue with numbers!
@bluefire
“Strictly from the numbers, .co has clearly surpassed it self…”
The estimates are that about 100,000 big-brand “owners” will have BOTH .CO and .COM and will actively participate in evolving the DNS to the flat, TLD-less, deployment. Microsoft’s new DNS via PNRP is flat.
Because of other technical needs to fracture or divide or channelize the .NET, it may be that the 100,000 Brand Name.Space migrates to their own infrastructure that they collective fund, monitor, etc. They have the/your money, they make the rules.
Assuming we can go back to July launch of .CO, is there anyone here that wouldn’t buy more .CO than they purchased, or at least try to buy more? I need answers from those that are still negative on .CO
Obviously, this thing is going to be the KING in the next 7 years or so, and for investors, that’s just about the right timing. There’s still lots of .CO left, get in if you can. Just my opinion. It’s possible that those bashing .CO were just doing it to discourage others, while they were busy loading up 🙂
PS: If you’re wondering about my handle, it’s a new domain that I registered for branding sake, it is http://ettelouR.com which is the reverse of Roulette.com, since you can’t afford the real thing, you might as well go for mine.
This is so .COol
KandyJet,
LOL. That’s just it…short and sweet. Maybe Colombia and the UK have something going on there with .co.uk?!…LOL This is why I’ve always found this Colombia argument ridiculous. People ask what does .co.uk mean and the answer is company and United Kingdom. People ask what does .co mean, well its pretty obvious it means company and “Colombia” is mostly a secondary thing, IMO.
LS Morgan,
I think Robert was using you as a symbol of the “.com” kingship and that the new “king”, .co, (Robert being the symbol of .co)was going to depose you or send you a deposition, relieving you of your .com high office.
@Em John
“People ask what does .co mean…” ?
===
It is ALL made up from thin air and hot air and people BELIEVE it when repeated often enough by “the right people”.
“All ICANN Accredited games at the .CO World Series of Beer Pong and all World Series of Beer Pong .COM Satellite Tournaments are played using 8 ft. Beer Pong tables, 16 oz. cups and 40 mm 3-star Beer Pong balls. Make it official when you practice or play and compete using an official tournament ready Beer Pong table.”
Don’t you be using some Non-Accredited table or normal ping-pong balls.
The Beer Pong Police may shut you down.
BigLie,
A littlr surreal, but I do see what you are geting at…I think.

Do you have your .HALO team in training to compete in the new gTLDs tournaments ?
That determines WHO gets the new gTLDs (Licenses to print money).
A Beer Pong Tournament may be used to award new bpTLDs.
If you build your own rocket-ship and visit the International Space Station there is a canister that contains a certificate for a Single Letter TLD.
Holy crap… its too early in the morning for this beer pong talk and (dot) some word talk. You warped my fragile little mind.
I think the thing that we need to focus on is the upcoming PREMIUM OPEN AUCTIONs for the .CO extension. That will give everyone a clear look into where .CO stands as far as being a success or just a mediocre extension.
It has already passed out of failure range. So we can be assured that its not a failure. At worst, .CO will be a middle ground low grade extension if it stays where its at now. I personally would hazard to put it in the same category as .ORG or at least competing with .ORG (I dont think it passed it up yet).
But still its noticeable and not a failure.
Once the PREMIUM auctions take place we will get a true glimpse on where .CO stands. If the Domainers, Investors, and Businesses come to the auctions (Which I think they will) and shell out some decent bucks (again I think they will), then I will say that we have an established baseline for the .CO market as far as investment opportunity.
Until the PREMIUM open auctions take place. Its time for the aftermarket sales to begin. Granted the extension is only 2 month old (on this global launch), so I would expect the sales to start off a little rough until more people become familiar with the extension.
But considering past sales of the .CO domains (back when it was NON GLOBAL), it should still hold up on its own. If you look up the past sales numbers you will see **ENGLISH** words with the .CO extension selling in the mid $x,xxx to low $xx,xxx. In my opinion its a great deal, back then it was not treated as a global extension like it is today.
But that is just the way I see it.
Cheers

There is no replacement for… BEING THERE…
“As long as the Roots are not severed… all is well. And all will be well… in the garden” – Chauncey (the) Gardner
“”There is no replacement for… BEING THERE…””
Where is THERE exactly?
Its great a great quote but I don’t know where the THERE is that you are referencing to.
I do not recall ever talking about severed roots. In fact as I recall, I was talking about helping an extension grow (in this case).
I am confused by your use of language in your post. I dont see how the reference pertains to what I have written. Could you possibly be more specific and address each item on a one on one basis?
Cheers and thank you.
Where is THERE exactly?
…the only place that matters…Washington, DC
LOL…
I like you….. But wouldn’t have been easier to simply state that everything is cyclical? You will have the inevitable ups and the inevitable downs and in the end it will work itself out!
I guess I have never been one for metaphors. I am too streamline in thinking.
Cheers and all the best
Note sure what happened the last couple of days, but a google “site:.co” search now lists 129 million websites/pages. This is a massive jump from the 50 mil reported the last few weeks, but more importantly a huge leap ahead of .tv that stands on 75 million sites (site:.tv).
Can anyone explain this discrepancy, or were 80 million new .co websites/webpages developed overnight?
@Charles
I am only getting 50.7 million searches for Site:.CO on Google.
Are you doing something different them me?
Cheers
Charles,
You may not be wrong. Google.com shows 129 mil for me and google.co.uk shows 51 mill. Not sure about why this is.
google has a server farm and not all the information on all the servers is up to date. There is a delay for the most current information to be populated on all the servers.
But there are so many .CO sites already developed in just 2 months that I can spend full time and still not be able to go through all the .CO sites.
Folks there are some really amazing .CO sites. I cannot believe some of the complexity of some of these sites.
Oh by the way, I made my first .CO sale this week. It was a BIG ONE.
I also found several .CO sites developed where there corresponding .COM sites were just parked. These parked .COM sites should be stripped of these domains and given to their corresponding .CO owners. May I hear a second on this.
Keep developing!!
I registered some good domains that I plan to hold onto until the price is right:
smallcars.co
tickethorse.co
stumble.co
businessinc.co
mysavings.co
business1.co
vday.co
a11.co
porn1.co
conceptcars.co
affiliatefirst.co
styrofoam.co
mywallet.co
mytimes.co
chingon.co
elgoog.co
scooterstore.co
incur.co
buyorsell.co
pledgeofallegiance.co
weyerhaeuser.co
I can’t wait to see what the .co era turns into. As of right now its definately moving in the right direction. But with anything, there will be doubters. Time will tell hats for sure.
Advice: Hang onto the good generic ones, unless you want to settle for a lower amount.
when you sell a business or a building the new owner makes a profit by adding value. Why would .co names be any different?
Someone said these won’t be flipped for a higher price. I see many high priced .coms sell and people say “great name”. Well most of those will only sell higher with value added too.
Make sure to build out your .CO s.
Some domains are like diamonds.
Cubic zirconia arrived in earnest in 1976.
Did Cubic zirconia destroy the “diamond industry” ?
Are the insiders of the “Domain Industry” cut from the same cloth as the insiders of the “Diamond Industry” ?
Just an FYI for those who continue to insinuate that .CO will amount to NOTHING.
It has already set a precedence back when it was a lowly ccTLD (prior to being a global reaching extension)

Notice those domains are mostly in english. These sales happened in 2007-2008. I didnt look very hard to find these. They set a precedence for the extension as NOT be worthless. As you can tell, the sales are pretty decent for an extension that was ONLY limited to Colombia at the time of these sales.
There are quite a few sales over 10K some even broach the 20k mark. One even makes it to 80K.
But that is not the point. The point is that no matter what happens, there is no way that the .CO can be considered an failure. If this is the baseline for sales when .CO was only a Colombian extension, I would hazard to assume that the numbers would tick up just a bit now that its global.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers
Vail.co – pure entertainment for someone desparate to change the Internet Al Gore invented.
@Matt,
”
I registered some good domains (.co) that I plan to hold onto until the price is right:
”
Having been in this business 13 Calendar year starting in January, I have made all my money buying domains from folks who “hold onto until the price is right” –
Unfortunately , in this case non will be .com’s – therefore I will be buying none from you – sorry
Just my opinion – but I hope no one gets cooked too bad on this thread.
“Unfortunately , in this case non will be .com’s – therefore I will be buying none from you – sorry”
The .com reign will soon fade away. Times change
@ “matt”
Looks like you have some good .co’s there. Best of luck and I’m sure present or in the future you will be cashing in on them. It’s supply and demand.
@(matt)
In my thoughts it seems like stumble.co is your greatest domain with the most worth?
.CO just keeps growing and growing. A year from now it will be the ultimate factor of .CO
“Notice those domains are mostly in english. These sales happened in 2007-2008. I didnt look very hard to find these. They set a precedence for the extension as NOT be worthless.

These sales have been mentioned before. The extension was a typo on NameBio
If you look at the whois many of these are available to reg in .CO now, and going through at least 10 I did not find one with a creation date before 2010.

They are all .CO.UK sales and NOT .CO sales so it proves nothing, look them up on dnjournal.
Many of these above (in .CO) were registered AFTER this list was posted on the forums.
I posted links to some of them here but they did’nt get approved.
(see if this post does?)

@Gazzip
Thank you, but I got my info from NameBio (Snapnames).
If you look up the same dates under .CO.UK you wont see those names.
So now we need to find another source. We cant have 2 conflicting information out there. It doesn’t help anyone.
Cheers
“We cant have 2 conflicting information out there. It doesn’t help anyone. ”
Very True Slate but mistakes can & do happen, you can’t beleive everything you read on the Internet 🙂
Dnjournal is the correct one. (as usual)
These are .co.uk sales – not .co sales
I know ever one here LOVEs Godaddy…LOL
But has anyone noticed that when you are looking at available domains to buy, off to the right side (where it says .COM “Most Popular”, .INFO “Free w/.COM”…ect), next to .CO it says “Premier Choice!” (copy and pasted from their site).
I just thought it was cute. I think they are trying to push the .CO. You will also notice that its listed in the 3rd spot above .ORG and .NET.
I just wanted to see if anyone else noticed that and hear your thoughts.
Cheers
That looks like the first big test for REAL .co domain sales:

More excellent .co names. Some of the best Spanish language names you could have.

The data for those .co.uk sales was put in NameBio incorrectly as .co. That’s why you see no .co.uk sales of the aforementioned domains in NameBio.
But really it’s not worth even presenting it as a “precedent”. The .co launch was super successful and precedents have now been set. So onward…

Is this the first “.co” case from the armchair kangaroos
This, along with Denver.co, makes me wonder what LasVegas.co will go for at Traffic. Care to venture a guess, MHB?
Em
Lasvegas.co I personally don’t like it in the $20K+ reserve range
Vail.co and Denver.co have one thing in common- they both use .CO as hacks for Colorado.
LasVegas is still a killer keyword, but not as relevant of a GEO as the above two.
Brad
Personally – given the demand for .co – I feel it will go for the 20k in auction – although its commercial billboard value is worth right at ZERO.
Brian
Except the reserve is stated as $20K-$100K so $20K may very well not buy the domain and it might be a pass
as “todaro” mentioned in another thread – where some folks believe there is an enormous demand for the non.com Internet space, like “.co” – the real deamand is for these (sell them what they want) registries to fill enormous space between the ears of these bottom floor “gold” miners.
That said I hope some sucker puts 50 or 100 into LasVegas.com – oops LasVegas.cc – oops again LasVegas.cm – oops again I mean LasVegas.co.
Brian,
Hey zero to zero means no potential and therefore no business. Heck, lets just call it quits today and be done with it…LOL. That would be like saying we should stop building houses because all the best houses have been built. Yeah right… if someone had the guts to start a new registry, he or she would be playing a different tune, I’m sure. But like any other start-up entrepreneur, first you have to have the guts. No risk, no reward. Plain and simple. .co is not that bad of a risk.
The typo thing is off the barbecue now, it’s done and a yawner at that.
I agree with MHB. LasVegas.co will likely be a pass because of the reserve. But who can say for sure?
