Who is using a .co domain?

[AlienAlien is verified member.]

I've never bought a .co domain - but have my eye on a nice one at the mo.

What general success and use have people had with one, etc, etc, etc? Any problems with ranking, etc, too?

What's the cheapest registrar you found?

Waste of time generally?

Thanks all.

I bought http://www.magazinesubscription.co/ and http://www.magazinesubscriptions.co/ - done very little with them, thought they were suitable for the things I'm into promoting

Don't have too much experience with them, but I'm testing out a site now.

Godaddy do them for ~£6.50 I think, or ~£5 if you have a membership to the discount domain thing.

Havent built out any but in terms of were to reg you nearly always want to go with a us company for value. that godaddy deal looks good if it was only a short term offer check out.

I have one that I'm having difficulty getting to rank that well, although it is an insanely competitive area.

I think there are others who've had a lot of success with them on here though, so don't go off my experience!

Thank you all - much appreciate the insights!

Might be worth a gamble then for a few quid via a cheap registrar.

Definately give .co a go.

I have a .co ranking very nicely considering i do not have any backlinks

I sold PPIclaims.co for $5,500

The company that bought this has got it to #2 on Google for the term 'ppi claims'

Google exact each month is 60,500

They are #1 when I just checked that term.

I only have one .co which I forgot about and haven't used, I think it's about to be deleted.
