Hi all,

I'm new to this and thought I'd start with .me prefixes. I may have completely wasted my money as I bought 10 straight off. My favourite is elvisfor.me - Domain Names Holding Page - lowcostnames.co.uk as there must be a big fan of the king out there! I hope to learn a lot reading posts and seeing what sells. Already fascinated. Look forward to any comments. Cheers, benjw

hi benjw welcome to AD.

as for .me i quite like them, but not when used in the way you have for "elvisfor.me" i just see it as "elvisfor" which i dont like.
but please dont take it personaly its just my opinion

Hi boxerdog,

Thanks - I can see what you mean. I think I'll have to test the water with these - lots to learn and probably lose in the short term. Probably should have joined this before spending my money but nothing ventured...!

boxerdog

I think .me have good potential and I have a few that I am very pleased with, but you need to do your homework first to know which ones are worth buying (cough ... Google AdWords EPC rates ... cough).

.me rocks.

It has broken records at godaddy.com when it was launched.

Things are being mentioned on top domain sites like sedo.com and dnjournal.com abt .me

Some .me domains have been sold of a big prices at the initial auction.

.me does not rock for me, not even a gentle sway. What happened to .im being the 'personal' domain and the next big thing?

As I posted in a similar thread, If I was going to spend some money on aquiring , developing and promoting a domain I would prefer to do it via a name with Nominet in the UK than someone in Montenegro.

Likewise every new extension has 'top dollar' sales that either turn out to be rubbish or hype based cash-down-drain.

Any new domainer will probably be sucked in and the timing of launches can be no coincidence. Personally I would suggest if you are new to domains to keep your wallet closed and read read then read some more

There is space to make cash in new releases, but most of that is made off those who falsely believe they are 'landrushing' for gain in a few years time. Be careful!

What happened to .IM ?
I donno. It just passed by like other TLDS.

.ME stands out. Nobody cares if it's Montenegro or some other country it's cool because it's 'ME'.
I think it comes second only to .com
if you can look at a domain once and just remmeber it later than that domain is worth its value.

If you can grab a good .me then i guess it would be even better than a dot com.

What domain would you remember ?
1. Treat.me or Get-Your-Treatment-done.com
2. Hug.me or iwannabighug.com

Not really comparing .com or .me here but i certainly feel .me has the potential.

.im does not work when said aloud, .me does, it's as simple as that, and if a domain works when said aloud, it's good for advertising, and that's good for domain value. .me is a very good extension for certain names IMO, and what's wrong with Montenegro anyway, I'm sure it's a very nice country!!
