New .ME Domain Available Today
Thanks for visiting the Affiliate Tip blog. Subscribe to my RSS feed or enter your e-mail on the top left to get updates by e-mail.
The .ME top-level domain is now open for registration by the general public. They are going for $19.99 a year with a two-year minimum (at least at GoDaddy where I registered some names).
I think this could be a useful domain extension for affiliates for a few reasons. First, if you are doing anything with PPC, this could be a short, action oriented URL for your ads.
Second, it is a good extension for your personal brand for a resume, personal blog, etc.
And third, you can make some interesting calls to action by getting a name that can be made into a call to action for lots of products or services.
Register .ME domains today before all of the good names are gone.
Bear in mind, there are lots of people registering these domains today, so even if you think you’ve successfully registered a domain, you might be out of luck.
That happened to me with five .ME domains today. I went through the process to purchase them and later got emails like this one:
Dear Shawn Collins,
The following domain name has failed to be registered:
HIRE.ME
Error: HIRE.ME: cannot register – already registered
We will evaluate this error and retry the registration if appropriate.
If we are unable to successfully register the domain name, your account will be credited accordingly. Please allow one business day for the refund to be processed.
Please contact GoDaddy.com, Inc. if you need any further assistance:

Nice that I didn’t get that already registered indication until after they took my money. Other domains were shown as already registered as I searched for them.
La.ME
