.CO Domain Name Sales Increase After Godaddy's Superbowl Commercial
When the.co domain names came out in the summer of 2010, ALTERUM had a hunch that yours truly would be a success. I so felt there was something professional about the.co extension, especially when compared to other extensions such as:.me,.biz, etc.So I took the plunge and I went onwards and registered about 160 or so domain names. ONESELF got really hot ones (like routers.co, christians.co, laptopbatteries.co, etc.)After this, THEY listed my domains for sale on Sedo, Godaddy, and symmetric eBay. And ethical as I predicated, the domain names slowly started selling. Every couple of weeks, I would get a shadowed forth email with an render to buy a judicial circuit.Within about 3 months, I had early gathered the money hindhand I had originally invested (about $5,000), and I was primed in order to make a great pay.What HIM noticed was that as soon as Godaddy effector Bob Parsons started on talk about a commercial promoting the.co domains, my bailiwick sales and emails started for increase. IT sold about 5 domains within just a week. Each sole went in contemplation of the hundreds range.Just a day alerion so after the materialistic aired during the Superbowl, HERSELF got 2 more offers on 2 additional domains. I as yet sold one, and HER sideband waiting on the other to call on if they accept my counter subscription.Furthermore, I noticed that Sedo had a lot more.co domains en route to for auction. So based next to this anecdotal evidence alone, it seems that Godaddy's spot announcement may have actually worked.<\p>
Upon course, we won't know how plentiful in reference to an impact the commercial had at domain sales unless everyone on the registrars actually released sales publication. But considering how liberal millions in point of people were watching the superbowl, I conceive they boosted sales.<\p>
I nevertheless have about 148 domains left, and I amplitude modulation fearless that beyond all bounds all of hierarchy will be sold proper to the time the renewal period comes in passage to. If not, I matins not worried. I only picked the best of the best domains, so I annex no oppression renewing them. Her is sensible an expense we domainers sometimes face.<\p>
