So you weren't bothered about going after shopping.co.uk? I would have thought it had been in the same ball park..

I believe .uk's are the future so why waste the cash. I will buy the .co.uk for completeness if it was at a discount. But remember we also using this as a branding exercise internally to staff and externally to suppliers.

Didn’t Mr Conway sell Shopping.net + .co.uk to ValueClick in 2006:

He did indeed Valuclick shareprice increased by $70 million the following day if I remember rightly. Some deals are not for the reason you think.......

We own and run www.redbrain.com that does a huge amount of traffic per day in shopping globally so very simple for us to reposition some of our traffic to this url. Great for internal branding making the staff realise what they are part of and great for external branding so the major UK suppliers who we currently do not work with realise how serious we are. So some direct value and lots of indirect value.

This is brilliant. A cracking name being used straight out of the box by someone who understands the branding/marketing benefits and believes in the potential of .uk

Best of luck to you, chief.

Cheers considering the amount of shopping traffic we control the increase in ctr is interesting in itself Limited downside risk and potential upside....the sort of bets I like
