If the content is higher quality, guaranteed.You think if diving.co.uk had been developed it would appear below diving123.co.uk? Um...ok. Notice google didn't suggest *other* undeveloped names.

Possibly... but if you if really didnt get the idea of owning a fantastic domain would you be here ? Its a forum for domainers so you obviously see the value in a decent domain or you be buying niche123.co.uk for everything you did , sticking quality content on it and be rockin it.
There's definitely value in a decent domain, I don't think anyone on here would argue that. But the technical value has obviously waned in favour of content. In my view, and it's what I've just said, the value is more of emotional / psychological one. In short, in business, a great domain is always going to impress, irrespective of how it ranks.
I'm hoping that over time companies will have a change of heart, because .UK seems nicer to me. It would have to be en masse for it to work though and I'm trying to find companies that have actually done it... I've compiled a list at https://switchedto.uk
I would suspect many sme type companies over the years have come to the conclusion they cannot own a nice .co.uk so have settled for junk names. The release of the uk's allows those people to buy a better quality name, so over time they will start using them. The established sites who had nice premium .co.uk names can have co.uk or .uk and so will go with the flow. Thus for a period of time we will have co.uk/uk's coexisting, but then the .uk will dominate....simply no reason to have the ".co" extra characters. As a company we are already planning the migrations and just redirecting our .co.uk's to the .uk
Thank you for the positivity. Not much of a list now but it may grow. I'll likely list both to be honest. I might also set up a checker. It's simple right now but it could become interesting.Nice idea. You could add DomainLore.uk to the list, but that might be cheating Just imagine the uproar if Acorn switched to.uk
Are you going to keep it to sites that have purely switched, or new sites that have launched on the .uk?

I did think that domainlore was a bit of a cheat which is why I haven't included it, but in truth it's just as valid as any other platform even if they do concentrate on uk names. They could just as easily have chosen .co.uk
Awesome, that's one for the list! I typed "car leasing" into Google and it was the 5th result.I'd run for cover if I was you Doug, Dave's lurking somewhere
Visit leasecar.co.uk
Visit leasecar.co.uk
why woulnt that just be a forward? i would have thought thats traffic suicide

I told a guy I know about a first name domain that is currently on auction ([name].uk), and let me tell you he could easily afford it but he told me "why would I want that rubbish? If it was .co.uk sure".
