Hi all. These .co names seem to be growing in popularity. I work as a sales agent (broker) and we purchased some of these .co names. We have had alot of interest and some sales so far. I think they really appeal to corporations and companies because of the .co acronym. Here are some of the ones we have.

Well of course you think that. Your business model relies on the perception that these domains have value. And no, they don't appeal to legitimate corporations and companies. They appeal to domain squatters hoping to generate some Adsense income and domain flippers looking to sell to the next sucker. All of these domains are essentially unbrandable.

I think if you are planning to have a big global brand then .co.uk is important otherwise for local or regional companies, it's not a big deal to have all the domains.
