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?

theres value in all names..."depending on how you get them to work for you"
it's just not that valuable in resale terms...

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.

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.
