Although I do have a new rule that I will not respond to anonymous comments, I use my name openly and do no hide my identity whether I am being critical or positive and from here forward anonymous posting, positive or negative, will not be approved. Now, to answer your questions, I know you are trying to find faults but in reality you are hitting on our strong spot. Although I will not give exact details to our overall plan and proposals we give to customers I will say that you are not seeing everything that is offered or that we are doing. As such you question cannot be answered directly, most of our customers buy an online marketing package that is considered a solution not an ad. But to answer as close to direct as possible your questions here ya go: 1) Traffic to Missouri.me - Not really a valid question although we are doing quite well with traffic, I have been extremely pleased with our growth and over the past couple weeks it has really taken off. We only sell in areas we are targeting our marketing efforts. I will not give the exact community names (for competitive reasons) but there a few that we have targeted and are driving more traffic to their community sites on Missouri.me than the local newspaper sites receive. BTW, I have some solid .com names that receive type in traffic but I could also buy the same .net, .me, whatever and always get more traffic to them with proper SEO than I could type in traffic to the .COM. 2) .ME being country code for Montenegro - Only domainers care. The businesses and consumers we are dealing with love the fact that what we are doing is about them. .ME is perfect for what we are doing. Its about branding and building something of value. No one outside the domainer community cares. They just don't. Thats like asking any of the successful .TV sites (that major networks and websites use) that people care that .TV is from Tuvalu, the users don't care. It really just does not matter. I have day to day proof of this. Thanks for giving me the chance to give a bit of detail here, I wish I could give more detail but have to keep some stuff internal:) All in all when we target a community the customers have seen success. We have had 3 different customers either come and visit or call and let us know that they have had people already say they found them on the Internet, all 3 were customers the previously had zero presence. What we are doing works...... First off, to answer your other comment, why am I censoring your comment, I was not, lots of stuff going on and I prioritize accordingly.

If traffic is very little b/c you just launched and people don't type .ME names in, what are you selling to advertisers ie what value do they get from advertising on your site? Also, do u think any locals will take issue with the fact that .ME is the cctld for Montenegro? How much traffic does Missouri.me receive?
