Country Codes

The country codes have been on a tear for the past couple of years and their first outing in 2011 left no indication they are going to slow down any time. Seven ccTLD sales (all listed in the all extension leaders section above) crashed though the five-figure barrier, including a Norwegian IDN at #3 - Klær.no ("clothes" in Norwegian) - a name that attracted $16,900 through Sedo. 

It was also appropriate to see an Austrian .at domain in the top five this week since that extension crossed the one million registrations mark this week. #4 (tie) Fotos.at did the honors for Austria with a $13,000 sale, also at Sedo.

The highest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #8 Judge.me at $7,820. PuertoRico.tv ($7,000) and PromotionalCodes.ca ($6,888) rounded out the first half of our new Country Code Top 20 Chart. Sedo accounted for the latter three sales and went on to sweep 15 of the 20 chart entries overall.

In addition to their chart leader (Electricity.com.au at $34,000), NetFleet.com.au had another representative on the chart - #19 Cartoons.com.au at $3,800. BliXem Internet and DropWizard were the only other venues to crack the Sedo monopoly. DropWizard did it with the chart's second Canadian .ca domain - #11 DUI.ca - at $6,565.  

Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked up for the week ending Jan. 9:

There were several dozen more four-figure country codes sales with Sedo again accounting for the majority of those including Launch.it ($3,500), Fotografen.ch ($3,380) and HorseRacing.fr ($3,250).

Australian .com.au sales also remained robust with NetFleet.com.au selling Utilites.com.au ($3,300), Couples.com.au ($2,320) and Paterson.com.au ($2,100). They also moved MortgageComparison.com.au for $2,000, Chook.com.au for $1,550 and InternetConference.com.au for $1,045.
