Anyway, here we are some 3 years later and there is no site on this example.eu. I have written once to the supposed owner of the name from my example.com e-mail address yet no response.
Any ideas as to why people register such a name, do nothing with it and when an obviously very interested enquiry is made about it, not bother responding.
No I did not make an offer however I would have thought it plainly obvious that owing example.com/co.uk/biz/info/in/cn/asia/tel/us/and several others, that I am at least serious about the purchase.
Your thoughts?
I have noticed in many forums people appraise/buy/sell for domains in that format.
to see if the domain is being offered for sale?
Not for sale anywhere.
Try googling example dot eu
Hahaha...the result?...Do you mean example.com?
I just wonder why they don't bother responding whatsoever even if it's only to tell me not to bother contacting them again.
It used to be at Sedo but is now at Moniker and they've also had their fair share of eu adr losses and were one of the scammers named and shamed on various sites when the .eu release went pear-shaped and actually noted by jmcc!
Eurid ran a promotion last year around this time that allowed registars to renew at a volume discount and many of the cybersquatters and cyberwarehousers took advantage of the offer. However with the collapse of PPC revenue over the last year or so, many of these cybersquatted/cyberwarehoused domains are no longer viable. You may get lucky.

You may get lucky.
Many thanks for this info.
The .eu sites I have develpoed so far have ranked extremely well in all the 3 main SEs.
Your site has some very interesting statistics etc. This may sound a bit stupid but from where do you get all the information?
The .eu sites I have develpoed so far have ranked extremely well in all the 3 main SEs.The searchengines don't really know how to handle .eu yet as most of them are now geared towards localisation. The best localisation is a ccTLD but .eu is more like a regional TLD and that's how Eurid is trying to market it at the moment. However putting posters on the wall of a Brussels train station seems to be the limit of their marketing. The lack of good content rich sites in .eu means that any developed site will begin to do well in SEs.
Your site has some very interesting statistics etc. This may sound a bit stupid but from where do you get all the information?The zonefiles mainly. The registries for the major TLDs like com/net/org/biz/info/mobi/asia provide access to the zone files containing all the active domains and their nameservers for the relevant TLD. Then it is a question of processing and comparing them with previous versions to see what domains have dropped or are newly registered or transferred. The ccTLDs tend not to provide zone file access so it means basically building up lists using search engine spiders and directories such as Dmoz.
