PODGORICA, Montenegro, Oct 07, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Millions of people are online every day, searching for their favorite
topics… including golf scores, lottery numbers, even real estate. That’s
why online entrepreneurs will be interested in domain names like
Golf.Me, Baseball.Me, RealEstate.Me or Lottery.Me, all available in the
upcoming Sedo .ME domain auction. These memorable domain names are just
a few of the more than 170 names available when the auction launches on
Oct. 27.
“Dot-ME domain names can be simple and memorable because a clever word
play can personalize them and make these sites easy to recall. Dot-ME
domain names are also becoming increasingly valuable as ‘front page
results’ on popular search engines,” said Predrag Lesic, Executive
Director of the .ME
Registry. “We have found keyword searches routinely return a number
of dot-ME domain names. When quality content hits the right mix of
search engine standards, a dot-ME domain name shows up on the first page
of search results. Let’s face it — page one is the place to be.”
Another huge advantage of registering a .ME domain: It is considered a
gTLD. While the .ME domain is the ccTLD of the country of Montenegro,
its versatility has led to interest in and use of the domain name
extension by web developers worldwide. Since late 2009, Google has been
applying a neutral treatment for .ME just as they would for generic top
level domains. “That means Google Webmaster Tools lets you geo-target
dot-ME domains for the country of your choice,” added Lesic.
All this makes Oct. 27 an important ‘save-the-date’ for any online
entrepreneur who wants to take a closer look at registering .ME domain
names. Some of the other names available at the Sedo auction, which
takes place from Oct. 27 through Nov. 3, include:
Chicago.Me Rio.Me Washington.Me America.Me Names.Me Basketball.Me Celebrity.Me Christmas.Me Commerce.Me Computers.Me Job.Me Apartments.Me
