Afternoon folks!!
If you are into .CO domains, some of the most prime available will be auctioned off to the highest bidder in South Beach on October 19th. Along with the headliners LasVegas.co, Cash.co, CreditCard.co, Gambling.co, Houses.co, will be some 175 other high profile domain names. Many with substantial traffic.
I expect the auction will be well into the 7 figures. That’s what will happen when you have great domains at great prices. The entire first release is here.
Have a GREAT Day!
Rick Schwartz

All pigeon shit.
Who are you kidding Rick? On one hand you’re telling it straight as it is, then on another when it seems you have a financial interest its all BS sell at any cost.
Is .co better than .us? Or what about .mobi that you were backing. If you want to be a prize fighter you have to roll with the punches…
Rick Schwartz
UFO. Who are YOU kidding. Do you read English??
Do you see what the words said??
“If you are into .CO domains”
First line!
If that is not you….time to STFU and worry about YOUR business.
JB
Oh man that was hilarious response and rightfully so, carry on.
Alan
“Many with substantial traffic”
now that is the funniest quote I heard all week.
Some good .co names but lets not go overboard yet again.
Rick Schwartz
Another READING CHALLENGED domainer.
I say”some 175 other high profile domain names. Many with substantial traffic.”
WTF is YOUR problem. Does not even refer to the .co domains GENIUS.
Go take pot shots somewhere else. I am going to shoot EVERY poster down that comes here looking to shoot me down by twisting my words!
If the ONLY reason someone posts here to start SHIT, I will make sure I rub their nose in MY SHIT right in front of everyone.
Consider me an electric fence. Pee on me and me and it will be you that will be shocked.
Alan
Clever how you worded it – It was very misleading upon first reading it. There are some good names in the auction no doubt.
I did it read it wrong but I won’t even respond to the stupid comment you wrote. Just dumb – there are many domainers who have much better portfolios than you and don’t include the word SHIT and other cuss words in every article. What are we 12?
If someone wants to over promote names and call them great and say they get lots of traffic when odds are they do not I will call them out (as above) but when you point out a mistake in how the message was read I will also fess up and say I was wrong.
Whatever man, you are always amusing.
Rick Schwartz
Alan,
I read many of your comments you have made here over the past months. I think you are a douche bag. Is that clear enough for you.
You come here and spew CRAP. You must have a 3rd grade reading level if you though what I wrote was”Clever”
Go get a life. Post constructively or I will rip you a new asshole with YOUR WORDS.
So be constructive or be an asshole. You can’t be both.
So far you are an asshole. I don’t mince words. You are on the stage and I called you an asshole in front of everyone in the industry and I will do that to EVERY non productive commenter from now on. Domainer or asshole.
GOT IT??
I don’t give a rats ass either way. But come here and play NICE or I am going to keep doing what I do. YOUR CHOICE.
Rick Schwartz
I just counted.
13 PERSONALLY negative posts about ME in a row right here since June 2009!! Plus the shit you spew other places.
You are an ASSHOLE with an AGENDA!
GET LOST!
Rick Schwartz
Oh, and I expect your”Butt Buddy” and I am going to rip him a new asshole as well. So just test me and see PAL!
Time to do this. A little clarity in the industry!
Alan
Wow – Thank you.
I’ve always said I have respect for you but disagree with your methods and hype – nothing new there. When haven’t you wrote a clever post? Doesn’t mean its bad, just clever. The job of any salesperson is to market the dream. Clever is a compliment.
Obviously, there is a reason we are not friends. Good luck with the auction.
Alan
and for the record I never wrote”13 PERSONALLY negative posts” about you here.
I may have disagreed with you 13 times and posted comments to say my opinion but disagreeing with what you say and attacking you personally are two different things.
Have no idea who my sidekick is or what you talking about there.
If you really have issues with me then talk to MHB – he knows how to reach me.
More than happy to have lunch at Mizner but as you indicated above – doesnt matter if we ever cross paths anyway.
Like I said – Good luck at traffic.
You wont see me post here again.
Rick Schwartz
Alan, for the record. You are full of shit. Glad you are gone. Not only can’t you read, but your personal attacks and insults were more than I could even count.
You have gone out of your way to do it and I think you are a lowlife. What more can I say?
You have your opinion, I have mine. Only difference is I finally called you out cuz I had enough of your shit. I have endured about 18 months of your crap and attacks and blog posts. I guess you can endure ONE THREAD for me to answer. Which I have never done with you until tonight.
Alan
Rick,
I really think you have me confused with somebody else.
“sidekick””Personal attacks and insults” – sorry man, I have no idea what you are talking about and can quote many articles where I said I have respect for you but still disagree with your approach and why many times I think your approach is bad for attracting the Wall Street community you so often pitch for but personally.
Hell, how can I comment on you personally when we don’t know each other.
I can only comment on the persona advertised online and if you ask any of our mutual friends many will say you are a guy with a big heart and a loud month. 2 things they love about you.
I don’t think the loud mouth approach is helpful for a lot of new domainers interested in development and trying to invest wisely in new domains so I add come commentary to get a point across – not a personal attack.
If you think disagreeing with the direction of TRAFFIC or how registering BP domain names is personal well then the comments were misread much like I misread yours here tonight.
Will I call a comment dumb? Sure but that’s not personal – it’s calling something said dumb.
I’m glad I’m gone here also.
That we can agree on.
You have my email if you want to continue this but whats the point – we both agree to disagree.
I will not resort to calling you names.
Best of luck in the future.

Come on guys…Rick Latona and Rick Schwartz…this list of domain names suck big time…they are “pigeon shit” domains…left over trash…like flowers.mobi and all those .co and .cm domains that nobody wants…pure trash!
Both Rick’s own tons of prime time top dot com domain names that actually make money and have that natural type-in traffic…you guys need to put some of these domains for sale with no reserve to get this auction pumped up and exciting. I’m not asking you guys to sell all your top domains…just put about 10 domains each for sale with no reserve…you guys own thousands of domains…selling 10 of them wont kill you…it will also be a great way to market this traffic auction. With the recent big moves upwards in the stock market, alot of people, including myself, have lots of cash to invest…but not in bullshit domains!
James
I see flowers.mobi $1-400 reserve. It takes a lot of balls to do that Rick. That is a genuine comment btw.
LookForSomeInfo
Thanks for the information on web hosting, am currently reviewing my hosting and domain name provider and plan to use the information you showed me to make a decision whether to stay with my current provider or move on. Having hosts that allow Drupal, WordPress, PHP, cURL etc is a huge plus, as well as server speed and uptime. Your post brought these back to the front of my mind, thankyou once again.
Rick Schwartz
“Hell, how can I comment on you personally when we don’t know each other?”
EXACTLY my point Alan!!!!
But you have MANY times. Because you have an agenda. Not smart enough to know what it is. But obviously you don’t know the difference! Just like your reading skills. The only skill I see is TWISTING every thing I say to fit into your view of me.
Someone you never met. Never talked to. Don’t know. But have formed this strong negative opinion of me, TRAFFIC and anything I say do or post.
Sorry, THAT ALONE makes you an ASSHOLE.
But you are also a lying asshole because I have been on the receiveing end of your crap. And if this is the way you treat everyone, then you are just someone I want nothing to do with. PERIOD!
If I did not want to waste my time I would start posting your shit. But…FUCK YOU! Not worth the time or effort. You think everyne here is STUPID?? They read your crap!
GO AWAY until you want to tell the TRUTH to YOURSELF! Until then, you are NO FUCKING GOOD in my book. Can’t even be honest!
I have you confused with NOBODY! I take the insults and bad mouthing and say nothing. Until now. Now it is going to change for you and every other jerkoff posting here.
I WARNED folks with my posting this summer. I never used names of my attackers but they never had a problem using mine.
Until Now!
And from NOW on, I am going to use names. I am going to start repaying in kind. Payback is a bitch.
You can’t go around demaeaning me, TRAFFIC, what I say, what I do anymore and think I will stand for it.
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
EVERYONE is going to know who the troublemakers are. Everyone!
A handful of LOUD nobodies!
Rick Schwartz
And, as promised, I am going to use asshole.co to list ALL the disrupters in the industry. A quick reference to see the losers.

Alan
Beleive me, I am going to fix this bullshit and make folks think BEFORE they take shots.
NOW it is an even playing field.
NOW it is MY TURN
chris
Wow, nice back and forth, after reading all the comments I forgot what the article was about!
I think there is very good value in Ask.co. I’m sure that gets a ton of typos and it is a generic so Ask.com can’t come after you.
Not too sure about some of the other .co’s. Will Rick post some traffic data or…?
Quiet Observer
Rick, if you put yourself out there as a provocative, my-word-is-the-high-word opinionist, you have to expect to recieve some provocative and contrary points of view in return. Most bloggers welcome it, but you have always been intolerant of criticism and unduly harsh in trashing your critics. You can dish it out by the pound, but can’t swallow an ounce. Just once, maybe you should check your ego at the door.
PS. I am not Alans buddy. I dont even know who he is. I am just a quiet observer who has watched you push people around like a bully for a long long time. I admire your knowledge of the domain industry, but despise the cruel way you treat people who disagree with you, even respectfully. For that reason, I will not disclose my name. I don’t want to be smeared in your asshole.co hate list.
Rick Schwartz
I have exchanged emails with Alan.
This one helped him see my point and maybe Quiet O and others will learn from it
“Maybe you don’t realize it or don’t think it is personal but it is.
Like mom used to say,”If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it”
You can make the exact same post , point and thought without taking a pot shot. In a constructive way. Big difference.
We both know it.
Don’t want you to kiss my ass but lose the mean spirited edge.
Thank you!
Rick

Hey Ricks, i own Shores.co , what do you think? :)
Domain Report
After seeing yesterday’s DNJournal sales report with .co auction results there is a definite market for these names. There were 22 .co sales in the five figure range, and dozens more in the four figure range. I can’t figure if it’s speculation, .co meaning ‘company’, or the typo traffic expectation, or all of the above. It’s a country code with some unique qualities for sure. Based on the DNJournal sales I’d guess some of the names in the original post here would also sell in the 4 and 5 figure range. I bought a few myself during landrush, still too early to say how it will go.
LS Morgan
And, as promised, I am going to use asshole.co to list ALL the disrupters in the industry. A quick reference to see the losers.
————————–
I’m going to do everything in my power to get my name listed there.
LS Morgan
Oh, and PS, Rickie.
So much of what you consider”demeaning” is simply people taking a position other than your own, pointing our errors in your thinking… but you have such a hysterically fragile ego that you cannot stand even the least-pointed of comments that may disagree with you, so you go into complete meltdown mode, which is just amusing as hell to watch.
I mean, in a post where you talk about intentionally being a douchebag to potential customers, you start weeping about people being ‘unmannered’ in teh comments. Get a fucking grip, dude. Since you completely lack any semblance of self-awareness, I’ll give you a gift of honesty.
You’re rapidly devolving into a cartoonish character. I think your posts on negotiation (aside from the ones where you proudly pointed out how being a prick was a great negotiation tactic) were positively killer, but then you drift off onto moronic bullshit like this.
You’re a 50/50 guy. You have to overlook 50% of you to get to the 50% that is worthwhile. This turns a lot of people off…
But, yeah, I await the reply that will look something like this…
“You think I will stand for this well I won’t any longer! You come at me with a knife, I come at you with a GUN because I’m HARDCORE like that! I will WHIP YOUR ASS WITH WORDS because YOU ARE NOBODIES AND NOTHINGS! I TRY TO HELP YOU AND YOU SHIT ON ME! WELL, NO LONGER! THE GAME IS ON!!”
LOL. Would be sad, if it weren’t so damn funny.

WTF I went to asshole.co and there was a picture of a hot chick and some links.

@ Tim
Don’t spend too much time on that site cuz you’ll get a little”Behind” in your work … pun intended :)
Rick Schwartz
LS ASSHOLE
Since you admit the only thing you do is come here to disrupt things, I have banned you and will no longer allow you to post.
No time for jerkoff assholes and NOW is the time to clean house.
Go away. You and those that behave like you are jo longer wanted here. It’s that simple.

QO
Why do you post the same drivel again?
Discuss issues not ME. That’s pretty damn simple.
Folks, I am going to rid this place of time wasters. That’s simple and has nothing to do with anything other than those folks that don’t like how I sit or cross my legs or whatever their daily crap is.
Morgan of the LS Variety
OK Rick. I’m banned (domainers + tech = fail, always).
If you don’t want me to post here, I will honor that. Mark my words. The only reason being, you at least have the balls to leave criticizing posts up, which is unusual for people of your ego-construct.
Quiet Observer
Rick, are you are so intoxicated by the grandeur of your own ego that fairly
stately criticism must be somehow disqualified or dismissed as “mean
spirited”? If you want to see what the face of “mean spirited” looks like,
here is a cut and paste recap of YOUR OWN WORDS in this discussion thread:
The defamatory smear”asshole” appears 10 times, including being SHOUTED
twice. You are the ONLY one who used that ugly smear, then branded it a .co
web address to defame people who disagree with you. THAT is mean spirited.
You sniped the acronym”STFU”, which stands for Shut The Fuck Up. THAT is
mean spirited.
“You are an ASSHOLE with an AGENDA!” THAT is mean spirited.
“I will make sure I rub their nose in MY SHIT right in front of everyone.”
Yes, THAT seems a bit mean spirited, too.
“I think you are a douche bag.” THAT is mean spirited.
“You must have a 3rd grade reading level if you though what I wrote was
“Clever.” THAT is mean spirted.
“Go get a life. Post constructively or I will rip you a new asshole with
YOUR WORDS.” THAT is mean spirited.
“Oh, and I expect your”Butt Buddy” and I am going to rip him a new asshole
as well. So just test me and see PAL!” THAT is mean spirited.
“You are full of shit.” THAT is mean spirited.
“You are also a lying asshole.” THAT is mean spirited.
“You are NO FUCKING GOOD in my book.” THAT is mean spirited.
“But…FUCK YOU!” That is NOT mean spirited. Its Neanderthal. Punk talk.
If you can find anything in my prior post that resembles this kind of
unecessary unprofessional ugliness, then I will gladly accept your empty
suggestion that my fair criticism was somehow mean spirited. In the unlikely
event you ever tire of always playing the victim, take a step back, study
your own words and then look in the mirror. You will see the face of a mean
spirited schoolyard bully who cant bear not being the center of absolute
authority and attention.
No disrespect intended …. just showing you your own reflection.

PS. Apologies for having inadvertently reposted my original comment, rather

Rick Schwartz
What is sad is at the end of the day, that’s about all you got accomplished today. Ragging on me. HOURS of YOUR LIFE down the toilet.
You don’t find that silly or amusing??
I find it sad. But I try and reach as many willing minds as possible and there comes a time where you take the unwilling and toss them out.
Funny, how I remained silent for well over a year while others dished it out and then I give it back to them on a thread and they find RELIGION!

Now something completly different….
..Hi, i’m new here,but read alot your publications/aut.emails Rick, i think i already got a lot of great knowledge out of them. What i wanted to ask; It got my attention when i was”diggin” to some domains at my registrar, to look for good ones still free you know, i saw that the .fm domains are like 10 times more expensive to register than a .com domain..? Any thoughts on why? If they we’re that populair i would know /heard about it, i guess… thanks!

Rick, I dont get it… The reason for all of this is Alan saying:
“Many with substantial traffic”
now that is the funniest quote I heard all week.
Some good .co names but lets not go overboard yet again.”
what did you accomplish at the end of the day besides using A”H twenty times?
The bottom line is some people didnt go nuts after seeing your list. Thats it, nothing more nothing less. and nothing personal imho.
Don Key Dikk
The name SUCKS ASS. C’mon, people. Get a life. The .co extention is a FRAUD and those who push this garbage on others are LOSERS.
Everybody knows these names SUCK. Your is terrible, too.
DomainNameSales.Co
Some more .CO domain names are up for sale on a newly launched site – http://www.domainnamesales.co
Many great domains on the site which rival Rick’s morons.co :P
