I think it was at Elliots. Well, that was close to a year ago. Anyway, I take the Video as true and a reminder that I have been walking the right path by sticking to what I started several years ago. Going after CCTLD’s besides regular dot Com. Important is speaking the language when going after these names, especially when you start going after 2 or 3 word CCTLD’s. Like we all know computers and websites do not translate in perfect pronunciation, so they are not much of a use. Sticking with someone who knows the language of the CCTLD’S which you want to approach would be your best bet. It is also correct that the French, the German and all other European countries use there CCTLD before using a dot com. Something most .com owners especially from the United States never had in mind that there are more languages and countries on this Planet. Let’s take the dot DE for example. The .DE is most used in Germany but also in Austria and Switzerland because they also speak German and they are much smaller countries than Germany. Secondly you will find more and better quality of information on the dot DE generics because of the volume of dot DE registrations. More than 120 Million people speak German in Europe. Germany has the strongest economy in Europe and belongs to the top export countries in the world. This was just a example of one CCTLD. There are several more that are very interesting. I can also only recommend looking past the dot com horizon because there is much more than just dot com. To end this comment I would like take an example. I tested a dot com verses a CCTLD to see which one actually gets more type in traffic. It was real easy to find this out. 1. Take a City with population over 1 million and register the best typo in the CCTLD on it (This city is looked up more than 10 million times a month) 2. Get the exact same city typo as a dot com. The result was the CCTLD TYPO gets 200 – 300 hits per month on type in traffic. The dot com to this day has never had a hit. This was no IDN city name with Ü, Ö or Ä in it. I have had these typos for more than 6 months. Living in Europe, I think CCTLD’S are true investments and I have written about this before on a Blog. I think it was at Elliots.
