The .Co Aftermarket Heats Up On Sedo

March 27, 2011 by Michael Berkens

Over the last few days there has been quite a few sales of .Co domain names.

Here are the one’s I spotted:

Mp3.co 3,600 Euro’s ($5,500)

Minijuegos.co  2,450 Euro’s (4K USD)

Prestamos.co 2,300 Euro ($3,900 USD)

Watersports.co  $3K

Judo.co $1,600

Axe.co $1,600

Fiction.Co sold for $750 on Sedo as well

No huge money sales but if you registered any of these domains for $30 its not a horrible return for an investment of less than one year

    Mp3.co at $5,500 is a true gift!

    Hype or else? Really don’t know but many .co sold these last days. Looks like LLL.co and keywords .co are the Buzz now!

    Not sure if it’s quite heating up but showing some life. I do think that many of the recent prices have a nice risk/reward.

    MP3.co, a super premium universal 3-letter word, going for $5,500 does NOT equal “heating up” – pretty sure that means it’s bottoming out and crashing.

    I clicked on the link for Fiction (dot) CO and it seems that it has already sold. Winner was 500GBP (little more then $800).

    As long as the they picked it up for normal reg, I think its a good sale.
    Anyone know what sedo’s cut is?

    Cheers

    Like Shane said risk to reward is nice.

    I think more companies outside of the US will drive .co prices upwards in the next 2 years. People will look back at these prices at kick themselves.

    Hard to lose if you have the correct generic names in any extension. Even .mobi is fetching 1 to 5k for certain names. They are also even being used more. Look at gettag.mobi by micro. This is not an endorsement on any extension just a observation. DD

    had offers on 6 different .co names this week.
    only one in the x,xxx range though.
    Sold one for 3,500 a week and a half ago.
    I can’t complain.

    I would buy more .co domains but it’s not easy to find not yet registered .co domains, that aren’t .co versions of TM .com names or .com typo or nonsense words

    that’s why I own only two .co names and only one of them is on sale

  9. Good Domain Names says

    March 28, 2011 at 3:43 am

    I observed that, too (but thought they were from a previous auction). After all, it was/is an opportunity to get long gone keywords for not much money in a memorable extension. I won´t be surprised if a good amount ended up with an actual website.

    if you handreg one or two domains for $30 and sell one for x,xxx then it’s a good investments but if it takes to sell one for x,xxx with a few hundred handregs in portfolio – then it’s not as good

    I think .CO is closing in on 1,000,000 registrations according to this video:

    http://www.cointernet.co/blog/guide-to-marketing-co

    LLL.CO s are hot.

    I am receiving a check for $600 this week on an LLL.CO

    cheers.

    P.S. – one other thing is that a lot of the smaller registrars are also going to be marketing and putting .CO in the forefront of domain registrations. Enom and all their resellers are.

    The good thing about

    .CO

    is that over 200 countries can and are using it.

    This is in contrast to other gTLDs like

    .US

    which is only good in just 1 country.

  15. Brad says

    March 28, 2011 at 6:22 am

    @ Robert Cline

    .US has nexus requirements as many other ccTLD have.

    .CO has done everything it can to distance itself for the true meaning (Colombia ccTLD). To some people bastardizing a ccTLD for a repurposed usage is not a good thing.

    If you can make money with .CO though, then more power to you.

    e.co is my preferred .co domain and the one that may be sold at record price

  27. John McCormac says

    March 28, 2011 at 1:40 pm

    The high profile sales of .co domains are interesting but what about all those domains that don’t sell? The marketing on .co has been quite good but the reality is that it is an attempt to apply dotcom logic (the same logic that drove non EU speculation in the .eu ccTLD launch) to what is essentially a ccTLD. Without the engine of development that drives many ccTLDs, the .co ccTLD will have a hard time sustaining registration growth.

    While it is being pitched as a shorter alternative to .com, the main opportunity is brand protection and this might, if companies and brand owners consider it a serious threat, result in a few million registrations at best. The use of the term “co” to designate a company or corporation is very much a US one. Most other countries have their own official company designation (Ltd for Limited Company, GmBH, SARL etc). Brand protection domains are typically pointed to the primary brand website in much the same way as those in .net/org/biz/info/etc are pointed to the brand owner’s primary brand website. That’s not development – it is redirection.

    Every launch (or relaunch) of a TLD depends a lot on domainer activity to promote it and the same fanboy activity can be seen with this one. Some of the high value sales contribute to the general frenzy and they can give a very skewed impression of the success of the TLD. Development in a new TLD is one of the things that helps make it a success.

    There is also the uncomfortable argument that “.co is a typo of .com”. That means that there will be an element of traffic leakage to the more established TLD and the most widely known TLD in the world is .com. The most common domain pair registrations at the moment are those of .com/.ccTLD. Registrants in ccTLDs are registering the .com version of their domain if it is available and few register any more than that. This is one of the factors sustaining .com growth outside of the usual PPC and generic registrations. It is also a potential obstacle to the general acceptance of .co in the marketplace – people have heard of .com but not of .co. They may even have heard of .net and .org and .info. But getting mindshare for .co will take a while and the ccTLD markets are becoming more important as the gTLDs decline in favour of the ccTLDs. On Irish television, one rarely sees advertising for anything other than .ie or .com or .co.uk websites. On UK television, it is primarily .uk and .com websites. On German television, it is mainly .de websites. The ccTLDs are part of those markets’ psychology in that people identify with their ccTLDs in a way that they do not do so with .com or the gTLDs. This powerful trend is the one that .co is seeking to buck. It might happen but it will take longer than one renewal cycle.

  28. BrianWick says

    March 28, 2011 at 2:07 pm

    Per John McCormac,
    “It might happen but it will take longer than one renewal cycle.” – that says it all literally – and then some.

    I have been at this for 13 years – even before PPC was a revenue source – outside of hand picked and a few lottery winners – the only winners are the registries themselves – .com and .xxx included.

    Too many people are “WILLING” something that is simply not there – and WILLING the bill-of-goods they have been sold to mature at an unrealistic timeframe at that.

  29. BrianWick says

    March 28, 2011 at 2:10 pm

    ” .com and .xxx included.”

    I cant even type .co – I always end up typing .com – just like BILLIONS of other Internet users

    Im sure there will be many more notable sales soon – especially when you turn $30 into $xxx

  32. M says

    March 28, 2011 at 6:18 pm

    The registration cost per year was about US 40 for the .com.co domains before. But we had to register either the trademark or make a company using the exact term, and that was more money. Otherwise we could not get the registration.
    And there was no guarantee that the .co would ever open up leaving us with expensive .com.co domains.

    Considering the keywords, some of these prices are low (Prestamos.co should be worth much more just to someone in Colombia). But, this way perhaps more domains are ending up in the hands of developers, which is a good thing in the long term.

  37. Juan Diego Calle says

    March 29, 2011 at 10:55 am

    John,

    Considering your thoughtful comment on this blog I felt inclined to jump in and give you a different POV.

    I agree with you wholeheartedly that “without the engine of development … .CO will have a hard time sustaining registration growth.” Whether its a ccTLD, gTLD, sTLD, or nTLD, that concept holds true and .CO is not exempt from it.

    Fortunately, development on .CO is booming. We are seeing the number of developed sites on .CO growing by the day in every corner of the globe (check out a few examples on opportunity.co: angel.co, bza.co, enter.co, sociable.co, ourrevolution.co, rana.co, nwc.co – etc, etc, etc – the list goes on). That development activity is pushed along further by focusing most of our marketing dollars within the start-up community and in events such as Web 2.0 (w2tv.co), Internet Week, and SxSW.

    Yes, in the path to established use and development there will be a handful of headlines and plenty of disappointments in the secondary market as the extension finds its place in world – that’s fine with us. In fact, I would encourage anyone to invest with care… there’s no conceivable reason for an extension to grow in value in the absence of scarcity and established use. Furthermore, big chunks of registrations will drop in the first or the second renewal cycle (Say 50%?) from those that got in early and took a shot gun approach. That’s fine too. They’ll eventually get picked up by the next guy who actually plans to build a website.

    You see, at the most fundamental level, .CO is attractive to the average entrepreneur or company that is just getting online. I’m telling you that as an entrepreneur who got into this business after spending ridiculous money buying .COM’s for a venture. And there are plenty of people like me who need options: In 2010 alone, 546,000 businesses were started in the US per month. Millions if you include growing economies such as India, Brazil, Russia, China, etc – PER MONTH. Can you really say that .COM is the only option for those individuals/entrepreneurs/businesses? Can you really say that the ccTLD of their country is the only thing they will choose? What about an exporter of toys from China? Will they settle with a .CN and forgo an international “presence” because they couldn’t get the .COM?

    Could it be that a company in Russia or the UK will choose .CO because they associate it with the word COmpany? with COmmerce? with COrporation? You bet. And they are doing it in droves – and that’s why .CO will hit 1 million regs before the first anniversary of its launch.

    So, quite frankly, to assert that the main opportunity for .CO is brand protection – is simply shortsighted. In fact, the smart folks I’m lucky to call my colleagues; the people behind everything that you see us doing, would probably quit and do something truly rewarding if that was the opportunity. No sir. The main opportunity lies in reaching MILLIONS of entrepreneurs and businesses that are getting online around the world every single month. THAT is a HUGE opportunity. That’s the opportunity that drives every aspect of our company and it’s the reason every person on our team is sooooo passionate about what we do.

    I won’t argue with you on one thing: We have our share of challenges and our future is far from certain. Awareness is a big one. Another is cybersquatting and the security problems affecting our entire industry. But those are not insurmountable – they are simply big challenges that need to be dealt with having a long term vision and a dedicate team.

    It will happen – and as you accurately point out, “it will take longer than one renewal cycle”.

    Juan

  38. John McCormac says

    March 29, 2011 at 3:16 pm

    Juan,
    It is good that development is booming in .co. The lack of development and over speculation killed off .eu as a viable alternative TLD to the ccTLDs in the European Union. My comment about brand protection being the main opportunity requires some expansion.

    In the launch of a new TLD, the brand protection aspect accounts for a significant part of the registrations. However if a TLD becomes successful, the brand protection registrations share increases to such an extent that it becomes a “must register” TLD. This is where hosters and registrars will add it to the package of domain options that the purchaser sees in their shopping cart. A lot of the domains in net/org/biz/info are “must register” domains where the registrant of the com or ccTLD registers the equivalent to their domain in those TLDs if they are available. Brand protection registrations are, in to a certain extent, a validation of the importance of a new TLD.

    The development in a new TLD moves from the ground up. While there might be large pure play sites using the TLD, (and .co has no shortage of those), it is the small businesses that will drive the numbers in development terms and in SERP terms. These are the ones that provide that critical mass for the new TLD. It is almost a virtuous circle in that if businesses see other businesses registering and developing in that TLD, they may consider doing so too. After a while, that TLD gains critical mass and becomes a major player. But this takes time.

    The attractiveness of .co to new business startups and entrepreneurs is a curious thing. It will allow some of them to access a global market for a reasonably low cost. However that will depend on the promotion of .co as a global alternative.

    The number of new businesses started in the US each month is impressive but there is one important point about this – not all new businesses are export orientated. Many of them will be targeting their local markets and as such, they may opt for the local ccTLD, or in the case of the US, the .com TLD. If .co manages to position itself as a viable global alternative, then it has massive potential. However the trend for locally orientated businesses is that that they are now choosing their local ccTLDs in greater numbers but they also register their .com equivalent if it is available. This ccTLD/.com pair effect explains some of the high number of unique registrations in .com’s DNA ( http://www.hosterstats.com/com-tld.php ). These 77.235 million .com domains have no equivalent registration in net/org/biz/info/mobi/asia/tel TLDs. Naturally some will be PPC registrations and others will be just one-off registrations. But for targeting local markets, the ccTLDs are the most efficient routes to those markets. With ccTLDs, people don’t have to remember the extension because it is their TLD – part of their identity.

    At a global level, I think that .co can compete and it may have an attraction for export led businesses. However the challenges in various country level markets are large enough to reduce .com to a second choice registration when it comes to locally orientated businesses and .co will face these same challenges.

    The growing economies of India, Brazil, Russia and China all have strong ccTLDs. India has between 500K and 1M registrations. (The .in registry doesn’t publish statistics.) Brazil has approximately 2.366 million registrations. Russia has over 3 million registrations and China has over 3 million registrations. So it is possible that entrepreneurs in those markets who are targeting those markets will choose the local ccTLD. The .co may have an opportunity in getting some of the export orientated registrations from those countries but most of those export orientated businesses will focus on .com as the choice for their export domain.

    While some UK businesses are registering .co domains, there may be a more logical reason behind these registrations. The commercial subdomain for .uk is .co.uk so some of these registrations could well be brand protection registrations. The most common company designation in the UK is the abbreviation LTD as in Limited Company. The only country that really uses “co” for company or corporation would be the US. The US market is big enough market if any new TLD gets a share of it.

    Having Godaddy onside is an important thing for the growth of .co as a kind of gTLD. Godaddy is the biggest registrar of gTLD domains in the world. However .co registry will also have to have similar arrangements with the leading hosters and registrars in each of the country level markets. Otherwise .co risks being mainly a US centric TLD with little marketshare outside of the US (when compared to the ccTLD/gTLD footprints in those country level markets). And the most effective way of gaining mindshare in these country level markets is through development and awareness.

    The next few years for .co will be very interesting. The people working on .co are obviously smart enough and dedicated enough to realise the crucial importance of development for .co. In the country level markets, (the ones where the numbers of local ccTLD domains are greater than the numbers of local .com registrations), .co is competing in very different markets to that of the US. The .com is the de facto ccTLD for the USA but the .us ccTLD has around 1.6 million registrations. The dotcom logic of what’s good in .com is good everywhere may not work well in those markets. This will be a challenge in marketing and promotion for .co registry as each marketing campaign will have to be carefully tailored for each market.

    The biggest challenge of all will be in establishing .co as being both a viable global alternative and a TLD that is strong enough to stand on its own as a unique brand. So far, .co is doing well at it.

  39. Juan Diego Calle says

    March 29, 2011 at 4:04 pm

    Thanks John. I appreciate your thoughtful comments. Not many are like that.

    Not sure I agree that CO for COmpany, COmmerce, and COrporation is purely a US based designation. It’s currently used within 40+ ccTLDs and can be traced back to the British Empire in the 1600’s +/-, depending on who’s updating Wikipedia. :):)

    Anyway, to the more serious matter:

    In the foreseeable future, you will continue to see us focusing our own consumer & registrant marketing efforts in the US market (particularly the start-up / internet dev. community). In the absence of unlimited resources, that’s where we feel we’ll have the greatest impact positioning .CO for global branding needs. We are betting that, being early adopters of all things digital, a lot of what happens at the consumer level (at least a big portion) in that market trickles “down” and spreads throughout the Internet to the other fast growing markets I mentioned before.

    That, coupled with localized marketing by our channel partners (once we open up to more registrars) is probably as far as we can go. Again, in the absence of unlimited resources.

    A lot of moving parts in this puzzle… Add to this discussion nTLDs and it’s going to get really interesting!

    Every non.com, including .xxx, .tv & .co define themselves based on what is right of the dot- where .com today means absolutely nothing – not COMpany, not COMmercial or whatever.

    The facts speak for themselves – the free world is dictated lawyers and judges. How many UDRP /ACPA cases have there been where the TM holder lays claim to the non.com but has no interest in or does not own the .com – maybe 1% – only because of ccTLDs.

    Everything else is rhetoric and frustration.

    Remember – only a non.com cares what is right of the dot !!!!

    @Juan Diego Calle

    My one request that I have is to help us with the renewal fees.

    yes, perhaps I was too overly eager the first week and registered too many .CO domains last July.

    But can you blame me for the excitement, I love the .CO and I spent over $23,000 and broke my bank account.

    But now, I don’t have this kind of money anymore, so my one request is to help us with the renewal fees.

    This will of course be very encouraging to all of us and would only accelerate higher growth and adoption of .CO domains.

    domainers make up 1 – 2% of .CO registrants but

    we are the most vocal and ardent supporters of .CO from day one.

    And it is domainers like us that help to get the word out the benefits of .CO domains.

    Lower fees would encourage new prospective registrants as well.

    For me I would like to see .CO really be at the same level as .COM with tens of million of registered domains.

    High renewal fees would result in not only a mass dropping of domains that many of us were excited about but would put the brakes on the incredible momentum that we .CO enjoy today. And once the momentum goes, .CO might never regain it back again.

    So in the interest of our beloved .CO domain, please help us all by bringing the renewal fees down to earth where majority of the population can afford.

    Thank you.

    I like the dermatologist, culinary, and where names.
    The dermatologist, should bring you a nice return in my opinion.

    With the foodies out there, culinary could be very popular as well.

    Where, I think would be a nice name to see developed into a vacation destination database or a sight seeing database. Could even make it into a social media themed site where people post the most obscure place “Where” they have been.

    That would be cool.

    Just my thoughts.

    mp3converter.co
    ork.co
    usbdrive.co
    clam.co
    and more just sitting at SEDO. I have not done anything with them yet except place them on the general market place with a “Make Offer” option.

    Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do with all these names.
    I am keeping a few to build out later. These ones, I thought about building out but now I just dont have the time to do it.

    Keep the auction results for .CO domains coming.
    From what you are stating here, seems that .CO domains are starting to go to auction more and more with decent results.

    Seems that little by little .CO domains are making it through the jungle. Now just need that one big company to put some large marketing $ behind a .CO domain name and then we will be off to the races.

    Just my opinion.
    Cheers

  93. Joe says

    May 20, 2011 at 11:29 am

    @Slate

    It looks like .CO is getting stronger and stronger everyday. I remember that, initially, only premium domains were able to fetch $x,xxx, now we’re starting to see normal* quality domains fetch these amounts and even a few domains registered just weeks ago sell for $xxx (LaGuide.CO is an example).

    *With “normal quality”, I mean domains that were available to the general public on July 20th. I call premiums those that went to auction because of multiple landrush applications and those that were “grandfathered”, such as Mike Mann’s.

  94. Slate says

    May 20, 2011 at 12:07 pm

    “…even a few domains registered just weeks ago sell for $xxx (LaGuide.CO is an example).”

    Wait, you mean to tell me that this name was registered a week ago and sold?
    How do they pull that one off considering you have to wait the 60 days before you transfer registrars?
    Was there a caveat in the sale to to allow for same registrar transfer?
    Sorry, I am just a little confused with that one.

    Other than my confusion, everything else is looking wonderful.

    I would like to think that some of the names that I picked up during normal registration where decent names bordering on premium. My collection of .CO domains are limited but here are a few that I like (that I didnt give to my wife):

    PEG.CO (My personal favorite of the group. There are a lot of uses for this one)

    EGYPTIAN.CO (Kind of been in the news of late)

    ORK.CO (If I ever get rid of my current sites, I will work on this one for a gaming site)

    MP3CONVERTER.CO (Google searches for this one has doubled over the last 2 years and is not at 5M monthly *broad. Something can be done with this if I had the skill)

    NORTHAFRICA.CO (I am on the fence about this name, but it really has been in the news a LOT lately)

    OPHTHALMOLOGIST.CO
    ANESTHESIOLOGIST.CO (my two medical names that are difficult to spell but still have a large draw to them)

    I have several more but will not post them because they are or will be in use by my wife.
    I hope the current .CO trend continues so that I may realize a profit on any or all of these names. So far no real nibbles, but this is still a speculative investment for me and I will hold out for a few years to see what happens.

    Cheers and keep the good news coming.

    LaGuide.CO was registered just 3 months ago, but there’s no problem with the 60-day transfer lock since the Sedo agent transfer will help seller push the domain to the buyer’s account at the same registrar.

  96. Slate says

    May 20, 2011 at 1:19 pm

    3 months clears it up for me. I guess I miss understood and took it as it was registered last week. My mistake.

  97. Joe says

    May 20, 2011 at 1:35 pm

    @Slate

    Even if a domain were registered 3 days ago, you could still sell it on Sedo: the transfer agent will send you buyer’s account details at the same registrar and you will have to push the domain to them.

    Thanks to Joe for bringing us information about sales of .CO domains.
    I can NOT say that I am getting excited, but I am seeing hope for the .CO domains as a whole.

    The sales are starting to happen more and more often and the results are a great ROI considering that most of these names where probably purchased for initial opening prices of $30 or at most the $300.

    I dont care who you are, I would gladly spend $30/$300 to have it grow to $3,400 in less then a year anytime. Again, great ROI…

    “a chinese has registered the domain GooglePlus.Co SEVEN months ago!”

    I am pretty sure they are still subject to international trademark laws. Now whether or not the Chinese government will make them conform is a different story.
    I personally think you are walking a thin line with your recent pickup. Google has been known to go after people.

    That is just my thoughts.
    Cheers

    June 29, 2011 at 1:54 pm

    @Jack

    GooglePlus.Co was registered before the Google+ release, so, is the .co owner that should ask back the Google+ domain

    “walking a thin line with your recent pickup”

    no, since “goo” isn’t “google” but “go” + “o” and “plus” is a very common word

    however, I already know the Google “methods” due to a (bad) direct experience: x.co/GqFF

  139. Jack says

    June 29, 2011 at 2:20 pm

    According to trademark laws, if you have a name that could be “easily” confused with another name, then it is subject to infringement or at the very least it could be taken to court.
    Its just a suggestion, nothing more. Basically, I would not try to promote your newly acquired domain with anything even close to Google+. Its just too close in my opinion.
    Again… that is just my opinion.

    As far as the GooglePlus.co name…. Google still owns the trademark to Google and that is not a common word. I dont even think it is a real word outside of the company.

    Again…just my opinion.

    Cheers

    Joe

    I don’t want the blog to become a tool to promote active auctions, there is too much room for people who own owns domains at auction to tell us about them

    I don’t have the time to try to figure out who is reporting what and what interest they may or may not have in the domains

    So I will continue to delete these

    You are of course free to report the results of auctions that have ended

  168. Joe says

    October 9, 2011 at 10:21 am

    @MHB

    OK, no problem. Anyway, I’m not the owner of any of the domains I’ve been reporting. I’ve been doing this only because it’s easier to track domains when they’re still on auction, since Sedo reports only a part of all the sales.
