GoDaddy is saying .Co is the new .Com...

Danica and I are thrilled to announce the new GoDaddy.co girl. She's a hot hollywood icon and .co is the hottest new domain.

She's smart, she's business savvy, just watch her register that .co web address. So who is this household name and new GoDaddy.co girl?

Is it hot in here, or is it just me?




But they didn't say that. They said it's the hottest new domain extension.

From Wikipedia: .CO Internet received the re-delegation approval as the manager of the .co TLD by ICANN on December 9, 2009, and received formal confirmation of the request by the United States Department of Commerce on December 23, 2009.

It's true, .co was opened up to American registration very recently.

Hm, I see your point. If you're the consumer, you're now thinking .co is the best to get though. I didn't analyze the words of the video, I came to this forum, based on what I got from that video, which came from a consumer point of view, though I was aware I was being targeted. I now realize, they didnt say that, when you analyze the word, but they put it out there as the new best thing. That's how they marketed it, whether it was in the words or not.

It sounds like your misunderstanding was the foundation for this entire thread and you aren't owning up to it.

You believe GoDaddy is pushing .co harder than .com because they believe it is better. However, when you go to GoDaddy.com, the default registration is for .com. Godaddy.net and Godaddy.info both default to .com registrations. Only GoDaddy.co defaults to .co registrations. GoDaddy never claimed anywhere .co was better than .com, they just claimed it was newer.

Moreover, even if they claimed .co was better (which they didn't), they would be wrong. Their incentive is to sell as many domains as possible. Any actual research on .co or the history of TLDs will lead you to believe that it will never become popular.

You have no factual basis for anything anywhere in this thread. Your entire mistaken belief is based on your inability to listen to basic English for 30 seconds or handle any critical thinking whatsoever.
 
This is as though someone ran a commercial claiming 2+2=4 and you made a thread asking "who else thinks 2+2=5?" Then you linked the commercial as proof that 2+2=5.

The fact is, the commercial never claimed 2+2=5. You misunderstood. Even if it did claim 2+2=5, you would have to be an idiot to believe that. There isn't controversy in this thread. There isn't "buzz" in the "blogosphere." There is just a lot of people who are correct, and you, who is wrong. Own up to it.

Full Sail University is crap.

Any artists in the southeastern United States worth their weight in salt will go to a real art school like Savannah College of Art and Design, any programmers worth a damn will go to MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Cornell, et cetera, et cetera...

Full Sail University is to Internet marketing as University of Phoenix is to Business, the only difference is by the time a text book is printed the subject matter has changed greatly.

The first person I ever hired was a UCF graduate; we spent three weeks getting her up to speed with the real world before she was able to do her job.

If you're learning a scientific discipline you might get away with going to a third tier school like Full Sail and learning something, but if you plan on getting into Internet Marketing you're better off learning on forums like this and PPV playbook.

Hell, warriorforum is more useful than Full Sail.

No offense, I'm not trying to shit on your education; just saying it's not really an education.
 
OK, now that dullspace has had his fun, (Don't take it personally, he does this to lots of ppl!) let's examine why we're so concerned with your Full Sail degree...

I will not try to convince you anymore, but in 2 years, when I've graduated, we could have run the two same campaigns, and I bet mine would be more successful, by far... I will learn so much more in the coming months, then I could possibly learn on my own.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it is POSSIBLE that Full Sail could give you a better start at the technical aspects of IM than many of us here have had. I myself am lacking when it comes to running profitable PPC campaigns and split-testing in general. This is shit that is taught in books... (Of course the tech changes often so the only way to keep up is to keep DOING them... Books don't help that much.)

However what many in here like myself have that Full Sail isn't able to sell you in any amount of time is a profitable business strategy that works. We know it works because we make a positive money flow with it and we can repeat it. And repeat it we do.

How do you know that Full Sail will teach you anything close to that? And in case you were not aware; there is NO 'textbook example' of a profitable business strategy that works, because in the biz world once someone tells others their profitable business strategy, it spreads, gets diluted, and stops working, period.

Another thing. If Full Sail claims to give you a comprehensive foundation in all of the tools of IM, (like social marketing, PPC, copy writing, etc.) then you're already being overloaded with useless crap you won't need.

Think of your IM business as a recipe; there are 100 spices up on the rack, a freezer full of all kinds of meats and veggies, but the recipe you need to make your business profitable calls for exactly 3 spices & a chicken breast.

You're going to learn a SHITLOAD of stuff you won't use, period. It'll be like learning to recite war and peace just so you can know the name of the protagonist.

The bottom line on any course, anywhere, whatsoever, that claims to sell a degree in Internet Marketing is that they saw a way to make some more money by offering it; yet this time they can't possibly teach the proper lessons in order to make successful students.

Not that I believe ANY university degree is going to make a student "successful..."
 
You are misunderstood. I do not learn about how to get facebook likes, and causing twitter hysteria. Have we dabbled?, yes, but that is to be aware of the subject at hand. We basically have classes that we take, and we get ebooks, we watch videos, we have online group meetings, learn how to collaborate online, like creating projects, from different states. In my opinion, this is way better then just learning fresh online, by ones self. Over the courses, you have 15+ teachers, all keeping up to date with what's going on in the world. They are not dumb, by no means necessary, and I feel like I am way farther, and have learned so much more in Full Sail (yes I do attend Full Sail), then I could have on my own. It's not just about getting likes on Facebook, these courses, take you in from start to finish, and create a whole new world. I do not claim to be an expert, I just feel like certain things should be thought out, before they are judged. And I did not find out about Full Sail online. A Full Sail rep came to my school last year, and I thought it was amazing. Whereas I may not have a job, when I get out of Full Sail, I will be in pursuit of self-employment anyway. After all, that is the dream isn't it.

Do they teach you how to use the enter key there?

Please tell them to add that to their curriculum.
 
Just registered whitehouze.co, gonna flip it in a few years when this all picks up.

THANKS TS!
 
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but italianbulls already said that he DIDNT go to Full Sail. Someone just threw up the name for some reason and people ran with it. I actually know a lot of people from that school or who went there and yes, I think it's crap, but he didn't go there.

As far as .co the only reason someone should buy them is for when people forget to put the M on the .com. Go buy up all those fortune 500 company domains now and get some free traffic!
