Hello there!
Over at rick’s blog domainers discuss of the upcoming Auction of Rio.com. Speculations are high as 3 plus millions while Brazil.com sold in the recent past for 500K.
The argument for millions is that the sale was closed before Brazil won the Olympic. So that the potential is mush higher now. There could e other arguments such as Rio is 3 letter domain and Brazil is 6 letter. Brazil has a crack as could be easily misspelled like Brasil.com or Bracil.com
Lets look at the current numbers. The Google trend favors Rio too . . .
Now let’s look at the searches.
Brazil is searched 673k and Rio tails at 246k. Now this number could change with Olympics.
My numbers point towards 658K. So what do you folks think? place your number in rick’s blog comment to win a entrance to T.R.A.F.F.I.C 2010 here
