Country Codes

The United States won the Country Code race this week with the year's biggest sale for America's .us extension. Job.us attracted a $35,532 winning bid in RickLatona.com's live auction at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. ccTLDs conference in Amsterdam last month and that deal was closed this past week. That auction helped Latona put five names on our new ccTLD Top 20 chart, encroaching in territory that has traditionally been dominated by Sedo.com.

Not that Sedo was missing in action - they piled up 12 chart entries, more than any other venue. Their roster was led by #3 Verkauf.de ("sale" in German) at $12,690 and #4 Top-Lage.de ("top position" in German) at $11,985. 

Germany's .de and Great Britain's .co.uk each had six names on the ccTLD leader board. The European Union's .eu was the only other extension with multiple entries, scoring twice with #6 B2B.eu ($9,165) and #14 Geschenkidee.eu ("gift idea" in German) at $5,295. The other countries represented this week were India (.co.in), Argentina (.com.ar), Russia (.ru), the Netherlands (.nl) and Romania (.ro). 

Here is how all of the country code top sellers stacked up for the week ending July 19:

There were several dozen additional four-figure sales off the chart and Sedo accounted for all but five of those. Their list included Janis.de ($3,356), LEDTelevisions.co.uk ($3,280) and TheAuctionHouse.co.uk ($3,231).

Sedo also scored with Escort24.de ($3,173) and Smart-World.de ($2,961). They piled up 38 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,820. Those are all listed in the table below.

Global Contenders (Non .com gTLDs: .biz, .info, .mobi, .net & .org)

Nudist.net doffed $20,000 to lead the Global Contenders race this week. That was the only non .com gTLD to break the five figure mark, doing so at RickLatona.com. An interesting note on this domain. It had previously been sold for $6,700 at Sedo last September, so the $20,000 this time is a very nice return on investment in less than a year.

The .nets enjoyed a dominating week, sweeping the first nine positions, tying for 10th and taking 16 of 21 chart positions overall (the extra position stemmed from a tie for the final position). .Org took all of the remaining five openings, leaving the other non .com gTLDs on the outside looking in.

Sedo and the AfternicDLS each had a hand in ten sales to corner the competition among venues. Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the week ending July 19:

There were many additional four-figure GC sales off the chart with RickLatona.com and Sedo booking the highest of those at $2,000 each (Latona with FoodBanks.org and Sedo with WebmasterForum.org).

Sedo went on to post another dozen domains in the four-figure range including OnlineInsuranceQuotes.org ($1,650), Electrolyte.net ($1,600) and NHL.info ($1,551). Anti-Aging.net nabbed $1,500, followed by a string of 3-letter domains; BTB.info ($1,410), ABC.biz ($1,403), SSF.info ($1,269) and XOL.biz ($1,200).

Sedo added $1,128 for SolarForum.org and $1,058 each for Archivio.info and Organisationsberatung.net. UsedCarsForSale.net added another $1,000. 

The AfternicDLS also enjoyed a nice roll with ChristianBookstore.net ($1,988), 1Media.net ($1,888) and LoveAndWar.net ($1,670). MusicIndustry.org drummed up $1,600, Cinz.net cinched $1,511 and two others; Demand.org and VinylSiding.net notched $1,500 apiece.

ChristianGifts.net unwrapped $1,488, SneakPreviews.net posted $1,288 and four others chipped in $1,000 each; CriminalDefense.org, Gooc.net, iDentist.net and Kolomna.net. The AfternicDLS also sold GolfExpo.net through Sedo for $1,050 as part of their expanded promotion program.
