sedo gives preference to .us over .co.uk

[88MEDIA]

Is it just me or has sedo changed preferences from listing .co.uk in top category to listing .us in its place.

Must be based on all those huge .us sales and the ongoing popularity of the extension.

now sedo.co.uk is as usual
but .us takes priority on sedo.com

That is music to my ears.

They probably realize that there isn't as much of a demand for .co.uk domains since many of those domains are in the hands of resellers due to people in the UK typing in .co.uk a lot (like .de in Germany will be soon). People in the US still type in .com and probably more of the .us domains are in the hands of resellers - and will be for quite some time.

Why go with the ccTLD that will probably give you one sale per domain while another could give you several (and several omissions, several parking revenue streams etc.).

er, this has been case for years
where you guys been?

go to google.de same for de, sedo.co.uk etc.

but it doesnt change anything, noone takes .us seriously as the cctld of the us
everyone knows it's .com

I'm afraid PRED is right. Unless some 1800 pound gorilla takes up the extension in a huge marketing campaign.
In the "states" COM is king. I would venture to say SEDO is simple capitalizing on sales trends and popularity.

If you start with the premise that SEDO knows Jack, then it all makes sense!

You might as well search all .sedo URL's.

For that matter, do all google variations, type in sedo, and see what comes up.

Sorry the US gets ranked higher.

Guess the Brits should have fought harder.

I know it shows . the local cctld if you type in .de .co.uk but the screen shot was off sedo.co.uk which i thought was weird but has now been changed ( i did check i was on .co.uk not sedo.com about 10 times )
