This is something i have only recently seen at domain name registrars The option to register a '.cm' domain name extension? Am i the only one who thinks people might try to abuse this hoping to get type in domain traffic from people who leave out the .com and search .cm Are people silly enough to stuff up typing .cm instead of .com? Will people try to copy site design from well know legit .com sites and set up .cm for this purpose and try to fool people......... that should be illegal? Is it smart for .com owners to buy the .cm extension of their domain name? Thanks to people who can shed some light on this issue
Well .cm is a country level domain of Republic of Cameroon yes its somewhat a typo of .com but then its a extension by itself.. price wise .cm is very high priced though
big traffic typins domains are already gone you can't copy design of .com site and place in .cm no big sales so far so better to avoid that tld
Normal people didn't type any url into their browser. It is depend or your SEo skills to rank your site. Maybe your .cm site will rank high in cameroon country ip..lol..
.cm is just a TLD's extension and .cm domain is so expensive.Maybe its value is typo of .com to some people.But I don't think it'll become popular for this simple reason.Based on its expensive price and lack of popularity,it's not a wise choice for using it to most people at present.
google.com is famous now google.cm is a typo as people some type misses the letter O thats why lot of domains who have good traffic gets landrush regs with that tld from the .com owners or some domainers
haha i've typed in .cm soooo many times. i think it's the most common typo.. interesting article: http://www.reinvent.com/news/reinvent_news/kevin_ham_entrepreneur_of_the_year
You're right - he did, and what an amazing move. He registered all of the most valuable domains for it, too. That guy is truly amazing...INSANE domain portfolio!!
Who? Really? I just look the hitfam website and saw a missing img hitfarm.com/images/logo.gif from the about page. Whoops! So there's that. Anyway, don't you have to prove you have a connection with the Cameroon to register .cm? Or is that only some domains?
Markn26 - thanks for the article link, that info was amazing That guy is already making billions from .cm domain names from direct type in traffic from mispellings Kevin Ham struck a deal with the Cameroon Government for .cm without even actually owning one domain. He just rents or revenue shares with them and gets the traffic redirected to a page on the same niche with targetted ads..... The article also says "And if he gets his way, Colombia (.co), Oman (.om), Niger (.ne), and Ethiopia (.et) will be his as well" to get income from typo direct navigation traffic who click on ads. All the rich people are a head of the game
