October 10, 2011 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – 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:
