Furthermore, if one uses the Google Trends tool, there is no data for ?buy.xxx? as a search term (and if I recall correctly, there *was* for GoDaddy.com when they had their Superbowl commercial, as one can verify by looking back at the Google Trends stats). Of course, Google.co disappeared from the radar soon thereafter, and Buy.xxx will likely prove to be at most a ?blip? (just like the entire .co extension, if one goes by traffic stats).
There?s another way to assess traffic, namely by looking at the root-servers.org statistics for the L-root (public stats are available for that one). I?ll put a link in the next message, so that this message isn?t hit by the moderation queue.

Just to followup on my prior comment, one can check the popularity of various TLDs using the root zone stats. For the past week:
http://dns.icann.org/cgi-bin/dsc-gra...d&server=Lroot
.co doesn?t make the chart, and neither does .xxx. TLDs like .eu, .cz, and .biz DO make the chart, albeit near the bottom (there?s a headline for you ?.biz is more popular than .co? ? Sorry, Robert Cline, LOL)
Non-existent and invalid TLDs (like .home or .local) rank higher than .biz, though.
