Recent news in .CA

I just have a few items of miscellaneous news in the .ca world to post today.

.CA Sale

First, there was one .ca sale reported in this week's DNJournal sales report.

treadmillreviews.ca - $1,500 US

Checking Google keywords, the term "treadmill reviews" has a global search count of 74,000, and a Canada search count of 18,100. Not huge numbers, but not bad either. The domain is still on a Sedo parking page. Interestingly, the singular version 'treadmillreview.ca' was registered at the same time as the plural back in 2007, and the hyphen versions (treadmill-review.ca and treadmill-reviews.ca) are also registered. I think the name has good potential for a website, the Google numbers show there are people searching for information on treadmills, and a website that offers reviews, and likely links to purchase treadmills, could do well.


Contest at CIRA

CIRA, the manager of the .ca space, is running a contest at showusyour.ca. You can win prizes and marketing exposure. If you have a .ca website, you need to submit a video telling why your .ca is important to. Winners will receive free exposure on the CIRA website and in their upcoming marketing campaign. Other prizes include a 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro laptop, a 64GB iPod touch
and a flip UltraHD camcorder. Visit ShowUsYour.ca for more details and to enter.
