Linking .co and .tel Quote:
For those who plan to link .co and .tel you may like to know Name.com currently have a special offer on .co registration - just$9.99. I have picked up some great .co names recently and have plans to use them in conjunction with corresponding .tels - which provide excellent SEO when you name a subdomain after a long tail search term - something Mark has touched on before. .co is promoted heavily by GoDaddy (reputedly the world's largest registrar) - here's their Superbowl 2011 video - they must have paid a fortune to get this played at half-time, but then there were several hundred million people watching !

Co and tel now there's a compilation I think com and tv works well .I have sold a few xxxtv.com this year and I see xxxtel.com are reged I have a few co but com gets my traffic |
.co v .com article Interesting article re this at http://www.worldfinance.com/markets/...try-titans-com More .co information can be found at http://www.CoInternet.co - I plan to link some of my .tels to corresponding .co domains in the next few weeks. Mike Seaton |
.co and .tel - ideal partners The more I think about this the more attractive the idea gets ! .tel is very restrictive re "web development" - no inline images on contact items - no RSS feeds via the CTH - etc, etc. Yet .tel has many appealing features such as the good built-in SEO optimisation, the easy updating and display on any internet device, and of course the "Data in the DNS" principle which isn't really being exploited at the moment but is there for software companies when they realise .tel's potential. If you own a premium .tel and want to use it in conjunction with a "normal" extension the problem until .co arrived was finding an identically-named premium .com with which to link to - usually far too expensive even if the owner was willing to sell. But with .co there is (currently) still the opportunity to pick up great names, often matching your .tel precisely, and then link the 2 extensions together to get the best of both worlds. With the $9.99 .co reg offer still available at http://manage.name.com/pricing it's a good time to register a .co if you have a .tel you want to link with.

Getting big companies to use .Tel From @mike's link But big brands are not simply registering .CO domain names to protect their intellectual property. Instead, they are finding innovative ways to use .CO domains to build unique strategies for customer acquisition and engagement. Telnic needs to find a big reason for brand owners and big companies to start using their .tel domains. Single point of contact was the original angle but that seems to have missed the mark. What other angles exist for big brands to take the plunge? 1. Up-to-date, mobile-friendly store locations - but could use easy integration app. 2. Excellent SEO through subdomains 3. Local coupons and vouchers - limited, and needs geoawareness to be built directly into proxy. 4. DNS database - virtually unexploited 5. Easy administration without need of IT department 6. what else ???? Rapid real-time mobile data access has to be key to this, but .tel falls far short visually without better mobile templates that make use of accordion-style folders, better graphics, to start with. Maybe if we had better smartphone templates with mobile-friendly navigation, not just scrolling to bottom? Mark |
Mark's post says it all - interesting to see what response there is from Telnic to the completely legitimate concerns of .tel's biggest software developer. Mike Seaton |
I took this information about .co 10. Newer Extensions: .co and .me Two newer extensions, .co and .me, joined our top ten most frequently sold TLDs during 2011. The early performance of any TLD, as well as its performance on the secondary market, often acts as an indicator of how well they will establish themselves in the following years. The average and median prices for both of these TLDs suggest a strong future. Both .co and .me benefit from their value to advertisers, marketers, and individuals looking for a strong, brandable alternative to .com names for their online presence. Key examples of their recent use have been Twitter’s t.co, and Google’s plus.me |
Talking about .co (Colombia) this country won the awards at mobile world congress for the best telecommunications politics in the world, by the way Colombia got 4g on mobile since last year and UK may be, just my be this year, also in the Colombia congress there is a bill that every single person in the this country must have access to internet, if not they can take legal action against the government. see this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=-jTc0lu_-kc#! |

Fully agree about the strong future for the .co extension. The dilemna .tel investors face at the moment is that the current reg cost of a .co at Name.com at $9.99 is the same as a .tel - yet .co has greater flexibility, higher marketing/promotion, recognition by "Joe Public", and a proven resale value. If you have £10 to invest, and you can get a desirable keyword domain in either, which extension do you think an investor will choose based on the current performance of the gTLD ? Of course if you have $20 to invest you can register both .co and .tel and then link them together - but would you earn more revenue and get greater capital growth by buying two .co domains instead ? Mike Seaton PS. I know that with .co there is the additional cost of hosting, but many domain investors run dedicated servers which have a fixed monthly cost regardless of the number of domains hosted on it.[/size] |
By the way the Colombia government got an agreement with apple, Google, Microsoft, BB, and are in negotiation with other big players to make Colombia the capital of Latin america in applications, Next month (April) top Google executive will be in Colombia to seal the deal, all good student from poor background will get the courses for free (sponsors by the government and those companies) the government did launch www.vivedigital.gov.co and in April they will launch apps.co they want the country to be a world leader in making applications (apps) hope they could make some good one for .tel like Mark does, and the Sri Lanka guys do as well. http://businessdirect.tel http://3dstore.tel http://supercyberheroes.tel |

If your wife took the €800 offer (assuming it's not a killer premium domain) it would probably rank as the highest value .tel sold in the last 12 months ! Mike Seaton[/size] |
indeed - a good price in the current climate... |

I wonder how how that will work, and where they got the money to fund this monopoly bid, and what the motive is? |
