Google looking beyond .com?
I’ve been seeing other TLD extensions rise in google over .com. Keep an open mind to all .extensions.
In response to a posting at the Domainer’s Gazette, Here, I had responded to #1 on the list.
“lol , I had the same feelings for extensions other than .com BUT, from my SEO work and studying the serps, I’ve started seeing google is now becoming less biased towards even foreign extensions.
Slowly I started investing in strong one or two word keywords in various extensions.
Heres something I noticed today: I typed “tilapia” in google, getting info for cooking, lo and behold I spotted tilapia.ws at #3, I found that very interesting considering tilapia.com is a developed site but it got trumped and was no where in the top 10 results. I don’t go hog wild with other extensions but have been choosing high click payout/high conversion value keywords…
Something for us to think about… “
Great news!! Investing in premium generic keywords in any extension should be better than obscure 2,3,4 word dot .com’s.
Hopefully the new indexing will promote all the extensions more. I like .cc and .ws. Short and easy on the eyes. Keep a few premium .info’s but drop all 4 letter extensions other than your premium generic words.
Go.cc!
Best.
