Loads of .me.uk available

Who buys them?

I'd be interested to know if there is any value in this extension - personally I can't see it.

There's some nice Christian names still available to reg.

Funniest one: looser.me.uk - you just wouldn't would ya?

I bought creditrepair.me.uk... needless to say it's never attracted that much attention.. but makes me about a tenner a month

A tenner a month is far better than anything I've got - so there is value then?

So there's NO value in the name or extension as such.

To me value in a name means just that - buy a domain, park it, get type ins, get paid. Money in the name.

example eBAY - There was absolutely no value in the name when it was registered - what's happened since created the value

Same with google - words that didn't exist at the time of registration.

If you can get traffic on a .me.uk it can earn money just the same as .co.uk

The big difference is that you will most likely never be able to sell it.

DNTango.com is on a distinguished road

Not having owned a .me.uk I cannot detail my experience but I I'm under the assumption that not only is it hard to drive regular traffic to a .me.uk (as I don't believe it to be memorable to the average consumer) it'd be quite hard to monetise as .me.uk is generally for more personal orientated domains.

I have advertise.me.uk listed on sedo getting great traffic!

I do have a couple more, but they are really top end me.uk domains.
