Have you heard of the other tlds (top leve domains) such
as: .free, .church, .video, .travel, .llp, .golf, .school, .agent and
.love? There are many more too. Wait! Don't wretch just yet. I'll tell
you why in just a minute.
If you look for a great domain name for very long you
will learn how rare they are. Trying to find a one word dot com is a futile
effort. The only exception to that is the occasional name that someone
gives up. The problem with that is you must search a list of thousands
(or tens of thousands) to find one and of course you must get there ahead
of the next person. If you just have to have a one word dot com, be ready
to shell out thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.
Then there are the dot net, us, cc, org and biz. Generally
if you checked a dot com a few years ago you could find the net, org or
biz equivalent. Not so anymore. Besides, the only one of these related
to business is biz.
So why am I writing this you ask. First, though, think
about it for a bit. I did that and realized it would be (is) great to
have stockpick.free, camera.video, poem.love, game.video and loan.travel.
Are you beginning to see what I mean? Don't you agree that these are somewhat
better than allthefreeebooksyouwant.com or stopheretogetaloan.com.
The point being made here is "type in traffic"
(people who go online and just type what they want in the browser). You
could wait for years for someone to go to the internet and type in one
of those dot coms.
Think again, though, about how many will be looking for
toy.free or camera.video. What would it be worth to you to have 30 or
a hundred or a thousand people searching for a video camera typing your
name into their browser? Pretty obvious now, huh.
I told you not to wretch, now I'll tell you why. There
is a wesite where you can get these tlds, and there are lots of them.
They are at new.net. When you finish reading here go and see for yourself,
but let me tell you two more things.
1. You need to download a plugin to view these sites (very easy)
2. 175,000,000 people already have theirs
