    Hi all,
    i just reg at digital pont.
    I was attarcted by the .ME dicussion
    I reg 35 of them, all with Dynadot..100% target
    I don t know what is going to happen with .Me, if it was just a register marketing action to take many out of us, or if they are gonna be a boom.
    I only can trust my e-motion in front of them, and the first time reaction i got in watching and observing.ME was just...a ...WOW!!
    It punch me deeply, almost like an archetype, a simbol that shake your immagination.. it was an emotional reaction...and i only could say"good job...that is what a brand should do"..Off course this is only personal...
    I tried to reg hack names, but they were almost gone imediantly,and i decided to run behind geos, that they were my second option.
    I reg 30 nations and 5 cities, and i will sit and wait.
    The first "simptoms" aren 't too bad: Portland is at 2100$ at 15 H, Kuwait at 1500 at 15 h, California AT 1200$...
    But i think we should wait for september at least, when public auctions will take place. to have a clearer idea.
    I am thinking now to invest in 3L or 3N . Me...it could be the next game
    Bye
    here a couple of names i reg
    CAYMAN.me
    OCEANIA.me
    TEHERAN.me

    Hey there morganrio, Welcome aboard.. Geo names were a good choice. But you are right.. wait a while to see where you really are at with the names you have..
    I think .ME's will be a lot more popular than some of the other extensions, because of its brand ability. Time will tell...

    Good luck on your venture :D

    Cheers
    James

    Thank you James.
    What do you think about 3N and 3L .Me?
    Do you have the feeling they could run like for other extensions?
    There are still some avail.
    Bye

    To be honest, I do not know... I would think they would be a good long term investment.. but I am not to sure about the short term.. I think if you can get a good, short, catchy brandable domain.. ya cant really go wrong aye! :)

    you cannot compare that to .asia as even the crap .asia extentions are hitting those figures let alone the premium ones ie:

    discover.asia = 112k
    sexshop.asia = 83k
    models.asia = 41k
    gifts.asia = 38k

    hardly in the same league

    that the landrush auction - auction is for multiple applications for pre landrush.

    I am just making an initial assessment of the asia landrush auctions and the ME auctions in terms of monies bidded for

    ClickAt.Me

    People are using "click on *" not "click at *". Am I right? Just searched Google. To me both sounds good as English is not my native language.

    Interesting... they are some good prices..

    .ME auctions will not be finished till the end of next month.. Guess we wont really know what prices they will get for the .ME's till then.

    Cheers

    I remember when .asia first came out and I guess I was one of the first to be looking at domains since porn.asia was still available and a lot of others. I just thought it was a fluke. I wish I had bought it now but I guess no luck. I have a question guys. Could you check out my previous thread and see if the domains I am looking at could be worth anything good and which one I should get? I don't have the domains bought but I have searches and results for each. They are here -

    Thats a hard one without knowing the domain.. your best bet would be to search the keywords using Google adwords and see how many searches each has per month.. also Google trends is another good way to do a comparison of how often the keyword is searched..

    Hope that helps

    Cheers

    Well I bought unfilter.me, hopefully it'll be worth something some day (maybe for some proxy site or something).

    Tattoo the searches per month came from Adword. After a quick search on Google Trends I have figured out the following information.

    2 Keyword Domain - Search volume index is over 2.0 and seems to be rising.

    1 Keyword Domain - Search volume index is below 1.0 and declining.

    I think I have chosen which one I am going to get but this is odd. The 2 keyword domain has less searches per month states Google Adword than the 1 keyword domain. Then the Google Trends says the 2 keyword domain has a higher search volume index. Am I missing something here?
