    So you weren't bothered about going after shopping.co.uk? I would have thought it had been in the same ball park..

    I believe .uk's are the future so why waste the cash. I will buy the .co.uk for completeness if it was at a discount. But remember we also using this as a branding exercise internally to staff and externally to suppliers.

    This is brilliant. A cracking name being used straight out of the box by someone who understands the branding/marketing benefits and believes in the potential of .uk

    Best of luck to you, chief.

    Cheers considering the amount of shopping traffic we control the increase in ctr is interesting in itself:) Limited downside risk and potential upside....the sort of bets I like:)
