Opinions on .Co Domains

[roversierr]

Hi Guys
Whats the general thought about these?
I believe they don't mean alot in general seo terms but that its the future sale value if you get a decent .co domain.
Or do you think they're just being hyped-up to inflate their real value?

.co has no seo value yet compared to .com/.net/.org

In terms of seo, there is absolutely bi difference. The main point of consideration is that people have a bit of difficulty in remembering .co domains.

Hyped up. not great for the public to remember.

Always go for .com or .net as the Americans play an important role in your traffic

In seo, it does not matter i guess. But com,net are more preferable to co domains.

waste of money..

I would never develop on a .co

Only squatters buy .co (which is fair enough - traffic is king)

 

[seoguy99]

its released new and therefore there is a lot of advertisement of it , its not having any importaince of being seo friendly .
totaly waste of money

 

[submitters]

do not try that domains..

It's a case of 'wait and see'. Google have said they will recognise .co as a TLD so they'll probably have more value in future.

pff... .co is like .cc or .museum -- useless. the only value I see in .co is type in traffic.

worthless IMHO

 

[bigkats]

I would only use .co to capture misspellings of a .com

 

[chillpill]

All I'll say is I got mildly caught up in .asia hype and learned my lesson

 

[xrvel]

Majorly branded as typo of .com

 

[thevoucherguy]

I think if you'll write xyz.co on your business card, they'll think that was a misprint and try to open .com instead.

In seo, it does not matter But com or net are more preferable domains.

In *theory* the only additional SEO value .com or .org would get, is domain age and more specifically age of links to the domain. .Cos like all other new ccs and tlds are starting from 0. Doesn't mean you can't build up a great domain with a little work and patience though. In fact, if you spent 5 yrs slowly culiminating a kickass .co to the point it has just as much value as the equiv .com for SEO purposes - I wonder if people might be willing to pay quite a little nugget for it. .co is potentially quite brandable, IMO.

I just got a .co for a new niche. So I will update this once I start doing Sri work to it.
