The .Co registry just released another round of results from the Land Rush domain name auctions totaling $480K in sales.
The top sale as we reported yesterday was mesothelioma.co which set a Land Rush Auction record of $76,000.
Despite most domainers believing that Slots.co would easily sell for more money than Denver.co (see the poll results on the right), Denver.co in fact fetched $50K while Slots.co ended at $41K.
Insure.co sold for $60K compared to the $16 Million QuinStreet bought Insure.com for.
I’m told there are approximately 200 land rush auction still running.
Once again these are only the results reported by the registry and not list of every land rush auction.

Denver.co more expensive than Slots.co, all I have to say is Wow!
iPorn for $11,500 ? Some Apple lovers there.
Denver.co doesn’t surprise me, good domain hack which makes marvellous sense.
These sales are very successful, no doubt about it. And don’t remember those are even not the premium of the premium, which is going to be auctioned later in public auctions.
Ohio.co & dui.co was a nice deal.
Chase.co sold for $15,501
Anyone been checking on who’s buying these .co’s….end users?
“Anyone been checking on who’s buying these .co’s….end users?”
I highly doubt that end-users were aware of the .co landrush applications, which took place 3 months ago, before the official launch.
For what I’ve seen, it’s mostly individual domainers, but also big players of the Internet world (web-agencies, holdings, etc.).
“Anyone been checking on who’s buying these .co’s….end users?”
People who has money to burn and thinks this s a good investment aka BS domainers
I suppose you are smarter and above all these thousands of people.
One thing I have learned over the years. The crowd is never wrong.
A thousand people are always going to be more right than you or I even combined.
.CO value is only going to go up from here. These are like the IPO valuation; the insider people always gets the best pricing.
“One thing I have learned over the years. The crowd is never wrong.
A thousand people are always going to be more right than you or I even combined.”
When popularity is needed for the success of a thing, like a TLD, I agree ; but there are many occasions when the crowd can be wrong, as history already proved.
“One thing I have learned over the years. The crowd is never wrong”
Wow – now thats the craziest quote I ever heard.
More like …
When everybody else is buying its time to sell.
When everybody else is selling its time to buy.
Actually – the crowd is usually always wrong in the long term. Thats why only a small percentage people are rich and most live paycheck to paycheck.
Insure.co is a cracking one for resale or development
did you buy that one MHB ?
The crowd was wrong with .mobi
and .cc, .me, .tv, .cm ,…. shall I go on.
While .co has probably the best chance yet it still doesn’t say much when right now you have lots of people buying and practically no sales going on.
I love ya MHB but
“Insure.co sold for $60K compared to the $16 Million QuinStreet bought Insure.com for” is surely not apples to apples.
Its like saying Ask.co sold for 60k compared to Ask.com selling for 1.65 Billion (which they did)
peace.
good luck to all you .co guys
Awsoume sales.To thoose still comparing .co to subpar extensions like .info,.ws,tv,etc …The numbers dont lie!
Great Sales in the .co space.
I got an offer today on Mesothelium.co from an end user and did not sell it. Mesothelium.co is the alternative twin of Mesothelioma.co which is sold at $76,000
You guys like that one, didn’t you.
“The crowd is never wrong” that is right. In matters of decision making the crowd is always correct. The crowd is with .CO s whereas they were not with other extension for now obvious reasons. .CO is a completely different animal.
First you have to have the .CO s and people are still getting their choice cut.
“In matters of decision making the crowd is always correct”
you are amusing Robert :-))
Btw if you want to make money you have 2 crowds which are important.
The crowd buying domains and the crowd selling domains. There is no crowd selling .co domains now is there?
Which crowd is right – in fact, no one can be since you dont have a valuable product without both crowds.
This is why .co domains are called a speculative investment at this point.
ps – auction houses and registrars dont count
amusing or not, it is true
So you think you are smarter than the combined opinions of everyone. You think you are singularly better than everyone else? Here is my concrete example, have you all watched “Who wants to be a millionaire”
If you’ve watched the show, contestants have 3 lifelines. One of the lifeline is ask the audience? No matter what the question, the crowd almost always, like 97% of the time, gets it right.
500,000 registrations plus these awesome auction sales should scream buy buy buy
The crowd is behind .CO , not the others.
For crying out loud. It has only been 6 weeks. People are still picking up .CO s to develop. I’ve received 4 offers already on my .CO s
I have great plans to develop all my .CO s. Once they are developed, it is going to be awesome.
“So you think you are smarter than the combined opinions of everyone. You think you are singularly better than everyone else”
Now you’re just being silly. Lots of people much smarter than I … just don’t agree with your viewpoint. Doesn’t mean I’m smarter than anybody here but if you think the crowd is always right then you dont realize the power of people who shape advertising campaigns or control the media. Many times the crowd is told what to think whether you want to believe it or not.
In one way or another we are all suckers and unable to process an entirely independent opinion of our own without some fact or influence by somebody with a biased opinion regardless of who we are.
Your opinion is not based purely on the crowd as you have a vested interest in .co investments. Mine is based on not really caring whether or not this extension ever works. To each its own but crowds are usually not smarter than the collective few.
Prime example in the US is when you vote for the President you also vote for maybe 50 other candidates for different positions yet most people dont know a single person except for the presidential canditate and just checkmark the box for which party they line with. Is this actually an example of a crowd being smarter? No. You need all the facts. Crowds do not – they follow the herd.
Agree to disagree – have a good weekend.
oops I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have said, “the crowd is never wrong”, what I meant to say is “the crowd is almost always right, like 97%, and certainly more right than any individual”
There is a reason why everyone is on these boards and the domaining world is a buzz with .CO
And why we have already 500,000 registrations and huge auction sale prices.
Here is another reason. Many companies in over 58 countries will be looking to shorten their URL address with the .CO s. Here is the article link:
http://www.prlog.org/10924150-co-top-level-domain-tld-url-shortening.html
I think mesothelioma.co sets the bar for the usefulness of .co. Namely that the sole purpose would be to use it for catching typo traffic from .com. Since that’s the king of leadgen keywords. $76k is a great benchmark for valuing all the other keyword domains off of. A majority of which would fall out at about 0.5% of that name (i.e. in terms of GAKT). The final price of slots.co also fits this mold.
The other key is that we now have pricing for the most natural use of .co…as a geo modifier for Colorado. Using .co in standard advertising for product categories or company names obviously won’t work because people will immediately type .com. But Denver.co has a great chance of sticking in people’s brains. As will Aspen.co.
Finally, the other good use is for domain shorteners because of the 2 character TLD. Of course that’s also because they won’t need to be remembered since they’re cut and pasted. And it can’t be greater than 2-3 chars to be effective.
Imho, those figures just about wraps up the whole .co value debate.
Insure.co >> $60,000 (good)
Insure.com >> $16,000,000 (VERY good)
SL
Unless your a HUGE site like Twitter or Facebook you can use another services shorterner
I got x.co/td for thedomains.com from Godaddy for free, can’t get much shorter than that.
and lets not forget the ONLY thing anyone needs a shorterner for is really Twitter which already own t.CO which you can use.
I did a search for developed 3 letter .CO sites and I was amazed to find these 18 sites up and running already.

I think a few here are looking for company for their misery. Why else would they expend so much energy trying to put .CO down.
“Mesothelioma” and “Denver” were very good keywords with obvious business potential right out of the gate. Mesothelioma in particular used to have the highest $ amount per click of any keyword.
DenverHomes.com sold for $35,500 in 2006 and is the highest Denver-related sale I am aware of.
Additionally, MesotheliomaLawyers.com went for $10,659 in 2009.
Nidal,
I hate to burst your bubble but mesothelium.co is not the twin of mesothelioma.co. Mesothelioma.co sold high because the keyword has one of the highest CPCs (I think its around $60 or something like that) because there is a lot of litigaton for cancer of the mesothelium and legal firms are willing to pay this for advertising). Mesothelium by itself just means a layer of skin, essentally. If the enduser offered you a few thousand, I would have taken it.
Personally, I find all these little opinions of other’s investments funny.
Without some level of risk there is no potential for reward. Those “few” mocking those taking risks will never be the ones that really do make it in this industry.
If you can’t, or won’t, shell out a hundred or two dollars for a potiential of huge returns you really have no business being in domaining. Period.
Faceless
Now there is a true statement no matter what your opinion on .co is:
“”Without some level of risk there is no potential for reward.””
“”If you can’t, or won’t, shell out a hundred or two dollars for a potiential of huge returns you really have no business being in domaining. Period.””
You got it
You have to have a stake in any extension that you think could become a valuable asset.
It would be stupid to put all your money in .Co or any “new” Extension but its equally stupid to have no stake in case the extension takes off.
@mhb a vanity shorter can also be used as a keyword draw. I registered many related to my brick business and the name of our cities. Now when posting on our Facebook, blog or Twitter page we should see a greater click rate.
Not many 3 letter .CO domain names left. Getting eaten up real fast.
5 Super-Hot Trends: Making Extra Money Ideas
“Purchasing a .co domain name іѕ another trend happening іח tһе marketplace. Tһеѕе аrе going tο become premium domain names аחԁ chances οf getting уουr οwח name іѕ very ехсеƖƖеחt.”
We are very Bullish on the dot CO domains. I realize there are lots of other TLD’s coming down the pipe… but, the dot CO makes a lot of sense.
Shorter than the .COM. Very Brandable. Global. Excellent Registry Marketing.
New TLD’s will absolutely never gain the kind of acceptance and traction of .com’s, as long as domainers buy up every keyword when they first come out. In a way, it’s self defeating. This is why new TLD’s don’t stand a chance of competing with .com.
Experienced domainers know this.

This is a very true statement. If end users are going to consider an alternate extension they are usually only going to want top tier keywords.
In virtually any new extension the top tier keywords are grabbed by domainers asking ridiculous prices.
Domainers played a big roll in killing .EU
Brad
If denverhomes.com went fo 36k back in 2006, I wonder what coloradohomes.com would bring. Any Colorado name will be worth some good change later on. It’s like Colorado got there own extension for Free.
The Co in Colorado make it sound good.
Donny
@Derek, spot on.
Derek,
Exactly.
@Robert Cline
Thanks for the cool findings. very impressive!
great part of the attention for all new TLDs like .co is only due to a saturation of other TLDs market… but I believe, that, many, good and still unregistered .com domain do exist
Quote: Domainers played a big roll in killing .EU
I wasn`t aware .eu was dead! LOL
It is true that domainers can play a part in killing a TLD, if there is over-speculation. I don’t think this is the case for .co. I checked and many good keywords are still available (I won’t take them because I’ve already enough .co).
For the record, .eu has not been killed by domainers. I’m going to explain this.
Many Americans view Europe and European Union as a big thing, a very important thing, which every European likes, from the Italian to the Czech.
You think this because the mass medias talk a lot about it, and love to remind people that European Union’s GDP is superior to the USA’s one.
The real facts may surprise you (I’m French): nobody cares about Europe in my country, and it is the same in most European countries.
To say the truth, most French hate European Union, and don’t think they share anything in common with Italians, British or Czech.
We have our own culture and heritage and are very proud about it.
It is even possible, given the current rate of lovelessness for EU in European countries, that the EU may disappear.
The Lisbonne Treaty was so hated that it had to pass without a democratic vote.
And contrary to what you could think, European Union is nothing like the United States. It is simply a free-exchange treaty with common politics in the fields of agriculture. The EU has absolutely no sovereign powers.
the number of .eu domains registered is growing very much
the only problem of an .eu website is that it must be multi language but the EU populations is of over 500,000,000 people (like the richest part of Russia + India + China people) so, the potential business is very much greater than .co
.
that’s why I’ve registered some .eu domains, but, so far, not one .co

“Mesothelium” is a useful keyword for those that understand it. While it is not the disease “mesothelioma” it is the part of the body which is affected by the disease, hence the name, “mesothelioma”.
“The mesothelium is a membrane that forms the lining of several body cavities: the pleura (thoracic cavity), peritoneum (abdominal cavity including the mesentery) and pericardium (heart sac). ”
“Mesothelioma: (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order.”
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelium
Depending on who made the offer for Mesothelium.co it may indicate if the offer should have been taken, or if time / an auction would attract a much higher price. OfferInvestigation.com.
quote –
“Hereby a consolidated list of 3 letter .co’s still available”
1,123 domains 6.4% remains.
Where is Elequa when you need him?
🙂
I guess even Elequa knows it is a waste of $ 30K.
How about the other 16,700 domains that have been bought since there are like total 17,800 three letter domains?
Plus it took 18 years for the .COM to lose all its 17,800 three letter domains. Whereas at the rate they are being taken up it’ll be another couple weeks before they are all gone.
You better get the remaining quick. They are not going to last forever.
And once they are gone, they are gone forever.
They don’t make these 3 letter real estate.
Looking at the sale of arearugs.co for $4,800, I wonder if that sale would have taken place hadn’t AreaRugs.com sold for $405,000 a while back ?
Most importantly, people conveniently overlook one thing: it is the registry that is raking in the money here through the landrush sales, and not individual investors.
There are not many players that will level with the casino.
I just hope the registry is smart and puts those funds back into the business to market .CO more as in national TV ads, and such. Especially since I think .CO can have like 20 million domain names in the next 5 years.
“Most importantly, people conveniently overlook one thing: it is the registry that is raking in the money here through the landrush sales, and not individual investors.

Good point Kate, the registry has taken the place of the domainer and the domainer has taken the place of the end user…or end loser for the vast majority of domains sold at landrush prices. House (neustar) wins.
.Biz anyone ?
Gazzip
Neustar is only providing the backend so I don’t think that they are making any portion of the premium paid at the land rush auction, they make the same per name for backend whether the domain is registered for $30 or auctioned for $75K.
The money is goes to the company running the .Co registry, the one that my nominee for the domainer of the year, Juan Calle runs.
I think Juan Calle is smart and young enough to really expand .CO out to the maximun. I think he will ramp this up with advertising and we will see some cool TV ads in the near future too I believe.
If you think about it, .CO is the natural alternative and the only real challenger to the .COM
Out goes the old, in comes the new .CO
I also think Juan Calle will double up efforts with the money the registry has garnered. I don’t think he is the foolish type to weal away the money. I think he will re-invest back into the .CO domain space to really expand it out to 30 million registrations.
I believe someone is wishful thinking.
Time will tell of the .co era but it is deffinately picking up a lot of hype.
a11.co, stumble.co, mysavings.co, businessinc.co.
Can’t wait to see what the future tells.
I just hope the registry is smart and puts those funds back into the business to market .CO more as in national TV ads, and such. Especially since I think .CO can have like 20 million domain names in the next 5 years.
————————————
LOL. They’re already laying the groundwork to employ the “THE EXTENSION FAILED BECAUSE THE REGISTRY FAILED TO PROMOTE IT!” excuse as was so standard in, well, every other failed extension.
Here’s a hint, Robbie.
Extensions succeed in the ‘domainer resale0 sense not because of promotion by domain name registries. They succeed when they’re adopted en-masse by end users, developed by same and marketed with their own marketing dollars (and not domainer-psuedo-development, either)
In time, the .co extension will be as follows.
89% domainer squatted out, with lame, meaningless template or adsense based development
10% Columbia
1% clueless small scale end-users who really thought it was a viable alternative to .com
And when that happens and you can’t sell your keywords on namepros for the cost of renewal, you will say the reason this happened was because the registry didn’t promote the extension enough, or, that while now things are dim, tomorrow is a better day.
Book it.
Ls Morgan, you trying save the world. Why don’t you take a look at this site: http://www.developed.co
plus these sites:
http://www.nbc.co/ You will see it does not redirect but its own site.
http://www.mjs.co/
http://www.kro.co/
http://www.qi2.co/
http://www.cpn.co/
http://www.hfw.co/
http://jco.co/
http://emc.co/
http://tez.co/
http://xch.co/
http://ivp.co/
http://nwc.co/
http://chd.co/
http://ner.co/
http://app.co/
before you get imprisoned by the .CO police and authorities for offenses against humanity, falsifying, for trying to disseminate your conning art of typosqatting, adsense.
And stop stalking me and posting after me wherever I post. Do not post, unless it is to confess for your domain sins and complete catharsis of your illegal domain activities.
LOL, Robert Cline…
So, the NBC.co that is it’s “own site” is simply a scraped version of their main .com site. If you weren’t an idiot domainer, you’d probably be able to figure this out on your own, but I’m a benevolent chap, so I’ll hold your hand and walk you down the garden path.
Go to nbc.co, then “View Page Source”. That will pop up a little window, full of strange techy looking strings of words and characters you absolutely don’t understand… but that’s OK, because you will understand the next part. In that same window, click “find”, then in the find box, type in “nbc.com” and see how many times that term registers in the code architecture of the scraper page.
Here’s a hint: the outcome of this little exercise, as has been the case with the entirety of our little debate thusfar, resolves itself with Robert Cline looking pretty damn stupid.
Anyway, just wondering, Robert Cline, if you’re willing to step up and make that bet? On my typosquatting or the collective market cap of publicly traded companies using .co as their primary web presence after, say, two years time?
Or are you still a coward who talks a lot of empty hot air, but is unwilling to back any of it up? Because I’m here, now, calling you both dumb and a liar. Assuredly, if you had any faith in your own words, you’d be willing to wager- and escrow- with any established industry participant.
Ls, you are not only a connoisseur of all the negative aspects but now you want to engage in illegal gambling activity. I have made note of all your posts pushing people to bet money and am going to report you to the authorities.
I now understand your intense jealousy for the .CO s. Because it is not for people like you engaged in trying to rig the system. .CO s are for legitimate developers, businesses, companies, communities, and corporations.
Ls you are in big trouble. I will give you one last chance to repent here online by tomorrow morning.
Time for a history lesson 🙂

@Kate: Lol, Andrew nailed it.
Let me know when we enter phase 5 so I can get some popcorn ready.
Just to add a bit of oil to the fire:
Two interesting links on Google’s indexing of .cos that will be of interest to both proponents and skeptics of the extension:
http://www.v7n.com/forums/google-forum/205473-co-domains-being-indexed-google.html
And type in “site:.co” into your search bar for a much more comprehensive list of developed .co sites.
Chris,
Of course mesothelium is a “useful” word but not to the extent of “mesothelioma” and in no way are these “twins”. The accuracy of your definition doesn’t change this. From a legal perspective and monetary, mesothelioma is far far far above the other. I can see someone paying $76000 for mesothelioma but maybe $5000 for mesothelium. Just check out Google results for both terms and you’ll see my point.
“Neustar is only providing the backend so I don’t think that they are making any portion of the premium paid at the land rush auction”
Oh, so Neustar is technically just a service provider rather than a full partner per se
Thanks
