Is .co worth the time?

Is it worth the time and money to invest in .co?

The only time I think a ccTLD is worth it is if it's for marketing to a specific country. I don't think I have ever seen a .co. I have seen many .co.uk though. What country are you in and what countries are you marketing to?

Let's say you work really hard to make nasehi.co a very interesting and valuable site but I own nasehi.com.   You know that lots of your hard work is going to enrich me because lots of your visitors will type nasehi.com instead of nasehi.co.  Maybe I will get 10% of your type in traffic.  Also, some people building links to nasehi.co will by error make them to nasehi.com.

Thank you!

Then I wouldn't mess with a .co unless you wanted to buy up all the TLDs for you brand name. For instance, if I were HP, then I would get HP.co for trademark reasons.
