I agree with Furkat, I tried a few names because it is both a typo of .com and .cn which is becoming huge. I was able to get a couple of decent names at what i think is an ok price, if it doesnt work out, so be it and they go into development since there is still SEO value on them.

I think .CM has a got potential since it is not only COM typo but also CN typo.

I can not effort to buy this extention, it is too expensive.

Good luck for those who spent a lot of money, I hope you can get your money back 5-10 years time.

lol Samir… nobody is suggesting it would be a ‘legitimate’ extension on its own for advertising, although there may be.. it is purely and simply about the typo possibility…

What I think will be interesting is the TM typo space in the cm market… the generics will be fine and earning well.. it will be those in the tm typo space that will do will imho because 1. tm typos always earn more per than generics (i.e. No. of TM typos regged vs generics have greater earnings per name) and the .cm typo will be even harder for co. to be aware of.. that is to say, there is a lot of current .com typos that have never been chased, so having .cm a step further away is going to appeal to TM buyers even more..

I’m down for .co

but another point against .cm – it just plain sounds awkward. Everyone knows the abreviation for Television (TV). Even FM Radio was around far before domains. So I just look at it from a branding perspective. I imagine myself mentioning the website on television during an interview or on the radio during an interview and telling everyone to go to “company name” + “dot com”, or “dot tv” (while spelling out the TV), or dot co (but not spelling it out just saying it like a word), but everytime you mention a dot cm you would have to spell it out. Its not like saying biz (mentioning this even though i’ve never like this extension) or net (because these all just can be said like words).

I got 12 of the 2,000 .cm domains that went to auction.

If you look at some of the higher priced ones.

Yellowpages.cm $30K
Hosting.cm $9,500
Creditreport.cm $11K
Web.cm $6K
taobao.cm $35K
lawyers.cm $10K
free.cm $18K
insurance.cm $10K

They all have different buyers.

Having said that I do think there are a few buyers of 50+ domains
