Jingling .me domains are impossible to forget
Despite being relatively a young kid in the world of top-level domain names (TLDs), .ME appeared to be number 9 globally traded ones. Preceded only by .com, .de, .net, .org, .uk, .mobi, .info, .eu and leaving big and older players like .tv and .fr behind. These stats can be found in DNPric.es stats section.
Three years ago, there came a bit relaunch of .CO, to celebrate which Sedo has published an interesting paper. This paper is very relative to .ME as well, as it provides insights on pricing. In just five years .ME went from a baby Internet extension to the top 5 TLDs. Well done!
According to Sedo’s 2012 annual domain market study, .ME extension made its way into the top ten most frequently traded TLDs. In fact, it is on the 8th position below .com, .de, .net, .co.uk, .org, .eu, .info and above .es and .nl. It is closing on its two forerunners so stands very well to stay […]
According to WebHosting.info they have found only 846 gTLD domain names registered in Montenegro. Rank TLD Total Domains Market Share Net Gain/Loss 1 COM 636 75.1773 % (1) 2 NET 72 8.5106 % 0 3 ORG 65 7.6832 % 0 4 INFO 26 3.0733 % 0 5 BIZ 18 2.1277 % 0
After few hours spent on discussing the previous post, an interesting summary was born. Below is the list of TLDs as they were searched in domain names of other TLDs stress-testing their suitability to brandability and some extend to domain hacking. Domain name like “home.co.ke” was counted as the one ending with “me”. Numbers represent […]
After some Excel crunching staff at Brands-and-Jingles has found 7075 domain names in the Alexa top one million that ended with “me” but were not “.me” sites. When we added another 1000+ of the latter, which made it into the top list as well, we realised that nearly one percent of all global sites are […]
One of the leading brand and trademark namecheck services United Domains puts .ME into Top 10 Generic Domains.
During the routine check on bedo.com, which was recent.ly sold at Search Engine for Domain Offers (a.k.a. SEDO), it was noticed that it is still down, already for a while, waiting for its big day. Sometimes, big investments end up in nowhere. Never mind that, recent.ly SEDO also sold two “me”-tagged domains: aroundme.com (US$ 4,600) […]
Funny jingle it could be: Bedo.com was sold on Sedo.com for handsome $45,000: Sedo is not particular.ly interested in protecting all Sedo.tlds, which is a right decision probably. It managed to secure Sedo.info and Sedo.biz but missed Sedo.net and Sedo.org. It runs a mobile version on Sedo.mobi, keeps bunch of country sites like Sedo.de and […]
insure.me The legend of prime dot me land rush auctions, insure.me, won by Timothy Warbington from Arizona after nearly a month of bidding (278 bids were placed in July-August) and lump sum payment of $68,104.98 cash, is final.ly online, as a teaser, promising to launch a service with free access to health, life, auto and […]
