When the .CO TLD landrush began, Epik made an early commitment to support the TLD. Our caveat to the early developers was that we were uncertain whether .CO domains would get indexed or ranked. While it is still early days, the indications are good. Here are a couple of illustrative .CO developments that are now live.
Sweaters.co
We did not have Sweaters.com or Sweaters.net in the Epik network, so when Nick Uva brought us Sweaters.co, it was an easy decision to take it on. The site looks good and is getting indexed.
SportsBra.co
Recently, Kenny Hartog’s Bra.net has been at #1 or #2 on Google for “Bra” and #11 or #12 for “Bras”. It is a success story already. Monthly search volumes for “sports bra” are well above 100,000. When Jun Du brought SportsBra.co to us, we were happy to take it on.
In addition to .CO product portal developments, we have several .co geo developments under way. We’ll report on .CO traction from time to time. So far I am encouraged. The search engine indexing pattern is fairly consistent from the initial sampling of .CO developments. The sites do come out of the sandbox. They index more slowly than .com or .net but they are getting indexed. This bodes well for prospective developers who obviously are able to buy .co domains for a small fraction of the .com or .net equivalent.
You should also tjeck out the new .co multi search engine! It’s on https://www.InternetStart.co

Those sites are doing great, after seven weeks!
