What tools are you using to research .CO domains?

Andrew seems to be following my affiliate marketing advice from the .ME launch and promoting the heck out of .CO with multiple articles per day.

I had plans to do this myself, but he is beating me quite well at my own game. Well played, sir.

I will still take a portion of affiliate revenue from .CO pre-registrations and .CO public landrush registrations, but have not invested nearly enough time to earn four-figures during this launch.

If you’d like to support myself and DotSauce Magazine while investing in .CO, please pre-register from GoDaddy using this link so that I will earn a modest commission. Thanks!
