What is G.co.uk worth ? Not as much as G.co at least not for Google

October 2, 2011 by Raymond Hackney

The Financial times did an article on the auction of single letter .co.uk names.  The most heated auction was for G.co.uk according to the story.

"But in the highest-priced auction, Google was outbid for the rights to g.co.uk by Any-Web, a company which collects, builds and resells domain names and is believed to be the auction’s biggest spender."

So Google supposedly paid 7 figures for G.co and got outbid by a far smaller company for G.co.uk ?

Guess the .co supporters will cheer for that.

    The likelihood that Google paid anything for g.co is low in my view.

    I believe that Snoopy may have hit the proverbial nail on the head. If they did pay it was less than the seven-figures. I don’t believe that anyone actually disclosed the final figure.
