Anyone using .co.cc names? what's up with those?

I'm sorry if there's a similar thread, I searched for it and couldn't find it anywhere.

Are you people using .co.cc's? Are they ok, do they rank? should someone use them?

Now I realize we're talking a about someone who bought a .cc domain named "co" and got .co.cc and now use the convenient name to sell cheap domains that are actually sub domains of their own website.

No, I would stay far away from co.cc domains.

A year ago they were all deindexed by google:

A quick search shows they're back in the listings, but I highly doubt it would be worth the time to try and build a site around one and rank it. Just go for a real extension, and don't mess with .co.cc or .tk or any other junk extensions

I see now, .tk keeps the same link throughout all of the pages, it was bullshit at first sight.

Unfortunately I have only 6$ left in my paypal and I've hit sending limit so... I can't even buy .info, quite problematic, I know. Just started an experiment that I want to rank and... I used a .co.cc domain as a last resort. I just did this today so, I could just get an alternative and point it to the already-built website. Hmmmh. problematic.

Namecheap is currently offering 3.99 .info registrations =) You could also search for .com coupons online and see if there's any specials.

PM me your niche (don't need any real details, just a vague idea), i have a bunch of spare domains lying around in all kinds of niches, and if I had one that semi-matched I'd be glad to help you out. Can't promise anything, but we shall see (if you're interested, of course).

Edit: just saw you hit sending limit, not sure if the 3.99 deal would help in that case =/
