Why ‘.CO’ Is set to become the next ‘must have’ global domain name
One of the key SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies used by successful internet marketers is to register a descriptive keyword specific domain name for the product or service being promoted.
With the increasing number of domain names being registered around the world, domain name squatting, speculative domain name purchasing, domain names purchased for the purpose of promoting affiliate products etc., it’s becoming more and more difficult to find the keyword specific ‘.com’ domain name that you might require for that new product, service or promotion.
Internet marketers will always favour a ‘.com’ domain name over any other for the promotion of their product. Perhaps the main reason for this choice is that this top level domain name is known to rank well certainly in the most popular search engines.
Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur, or a seasoned professional in the internet marketing circles, it’s most likely that you will have heard or uttered the following phrase yourself many times over… ”Get a ‘.com’ domain name”
Well…
A new globally recognisable ‘top level’ domain name, yet at the time of writing still little known domain name, could well be set to change this.
That domain name is ‘.co.’ …
So in the future I wouldn’t be surprised if the above phrase being banded around certainly in internet marketing circles, becomes
“Get a ‘.com’ or a ‘.co’ domain name”…

However Columbia recognises the global recognition and potential ‘.co’ of this valuable domain and have taken “the ambitious step to liberalize it’s domain policies and to share this valuable asset with the global internet community”.
The timeline for the release of ‘.co’ domain name is as follows:
Hey Brad, thanks for sharing this, I had no idea about .co. There are so many domain extensions available now, it’s hard to choose. I wasn’t aware that there was stages of release too, so that’s how big companies always grab the good ones, Sally
