Although my main domain is a .com, I am going to register / buy a few more casino type domains to create other sites. I was just wondering if any of you have any good or bad experiences with promoting other ext’s like, .net, .org and especially .tv – is it harder for the search engines to index these ext’s for any reason?
When it comes to the .tv, there seems to be quite a number of decent gaming relevant domains available due to their lack of popularity. I have heard that the .tv’s can carry higher annual renew fees etc but some seem quite cheap. When I search google for something, rarely do I ever see .tv’s even on the first few pages of results so this is why I ask.
When it comes to registering domains, do you basically promote .com’s and forget all the other ext’s?
When you decided on your main .com, if all the other ext’s of your domain were available as well, did/would you register them all too?
I have a buddy who runs the websitehostingdirectory.com – very bright guy in terms of SEO & he has said to me that .com & .net domains are ok but that other extensions do not get picked up as much by the search engines. I do think that if you are trying to geo target that a country extension works ok, for instance for uk web hosting on this result
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGIC,GGIC:2006-37,GGIC:en&q=uk+web+hosting there is only 1 site in the 1st 10 results which is not a UK domain (although they are a UK based company)But looking at generic results like:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGIC,GGIC:2006-37,GGIC:en&q=web+hosting
there are no domains in the first hundred results which are non .com /.net or .org(omly 1 .org)Good luck in your search
I unloaded all my .TVs … these guys act like a real estate landlord so
even if they are cheap today … they may jack up the prices for your lease
in the future … so with them you may have an unwanted partner … I believe
.com / .co.uk is the way to go especially with more countries banning
gambling or actually keeping it all to themselves.
Seems I was right after all.
I finally am in the middle of buying a .com .
I wondered how exactly important a .com could really be.
Now by reading the responses here, I just found out that I was SO RIGHT after all.
I thought about .infos and stuff like that, but, really, when I do a search on anything, a lot of .coms do come up, before .orgs and .infos usually.
This has just confirmed my suspicions.
