.CO Brands Should Buy Matching .co.com Domain Names

The .co.com domain registry, under the leadership of CEO Ken Hansen,  began selling its .co.com domain names about a week ago, and the registry is currently in the landrush phase. Anyone can now reserve .co.com domain names at one of 13 domain registrars (like 101Domain), and more registrars are reportedly being onboarded in the future. General availability will take place in July.

I don’t plan to buy any .co.com domain names for myself, but I think companies who operate businesses on .CO domain names should consider purchasing the corresponding .co.com domain name for their business. .CO has been around for quite some time, and they’ve done quite a good job of growing awareness for .CO domain names. In my opinion though, I think there may still be some traffic leakage to other domain names.

The first likely source of any traffic leakage is

There are a number of domain brokers and domain brokerages that offer domain sales newsletter, and I think they can be a pretty good way of buying and selling domain names.  Someone asked me if I could share a current list of domain broker newsletters, and I thought I would put this list together for your reference.

Listed below are the domain broker newsletters I could think of off the top of my head. If I have omitted an active sales newsletter, please let me know. There are daily, weekly, and periodic newsletters included. Many marketplaces offer newsletters, but the ones below are third party brokerage sales newsletters.

3 Tips to Find Good Domain Marketplace Deals

When I read Ron Jackson’s weekly sale report, I see at least one or two domain names that sold at a price I would classify as a great deal, and occasionally, I see a name that I wish I had bought for that price. When I see those types of deals come across the wire, my immediate thought is usually something like “shoot, that buyer got a great deal. I wish I had known about it.”

I want to share three tips on how you (and I) can reduce the number of times this happens and score good deals. They may be common sense to some of us, but a reminder is always good because great deals happen on a weekly basis, and being proactive about finding them is what is needed in order to score these deals on our own.

Explaining My Domain Wanted Requirements

Yesterday, I posted a “domain wanted” request where I was requesting that readers submit one word .com domain names for sale  that meet a list of somewhat specific requirements. The article was a bit self serving, and I wanted to offer a bit more insight about why I specified those requirements.

If you have something that meets all of the requirements, please let me know. Otherwise, you’re welcome to ask questions, but please don’t submit domain names in the comment section here.

  • American English word – English is my first and only fluent language, and if I don’t understand the word or its meaning, it will be more difficult for me to sell the domain name using outbound methods, and it will also be difficult to field inquiries from people who do speak the language. There are many variations and meanings for words in English, and a slight variation can make a big difference in value. I don’t want to make a silly translation error. I understand that

Seeking a One Word .com Name

I am in the market for very good one word .com domain names. I am looking for names that can be used in their generic sense but can also be used for a brand. Think about words like Apple, Amazon, Soap, Drafting, Observations…etc. I’ve been making offers on my own, but I thought perhaps one of you might have an excellent domain name for sale that fits the bill and we can both walk away with a good deal.

Listed below are the specific requirements I have set for thus. If your domain name doesn’t fit the bill, please don’t waste our (my or your) time submitting it. I think you can understand how annoying it is when people don’t read instructions. I am open to purchasing more than one domain name that fits the bill.

  • American English word
  • .com only
  • At least 6 other TLDs are registered in that exact keyword
  • Price is $15,000 or less
  • Has not been listed with a domain broker, domain auction, or on a domain forum in at least 18 months
  • Has a purchase price
