poll What is the best extension to own a keyword in? (excluding .com/.net/.org)

[Casey L]

You can vote for up to 3 choices. I'd love to see what different domainers see the best value in when it comes to keyword domains. Feel free to explain your reasons below.

.XYZ
.WEB
.SITE

 

[RU]

.biz & .info

.XYZ
.WEB
.SITE

Do you own a lot of domains in those extensions?

 

[Casey L]

dotCOM
Plain and simple

It's certainly hard to argue against that.

Do you own a lot of domains in those extensions?

I own a few .site like lead .site and beat .site

I also own good .XYZ like emo .xyz sponsor .xyz jetpack .xyz Kylie .xyz

My only $xxxx sale this year was a .TV and I separately received a low $xxxx offer on another .TV but given $28-$30 renewals on .TV I would not recommend them as investments. Even after fifteen years and modest developer adoption, the aftermarket is anemic. Thus when I read comments from NTLD investors that they believe the NTLD market will be booming in three years my view is they are dreaming. Yes there are a lot of domain investors buying these and trading them amongst themselves. But end user acquisitions of new extensions at $XXXX prices will require a massive shift in the value placed on domains as brands. I believe domains can be awesome branding tools but most people outside the industry value a domain like a logo - a $50 item at best.

xyz co online tech cc should do good in the following years

I like .ONLINE because it's so obvious (didn't like it before but changed my mind). I like .CO because it's cool (have always liked it). I like .TECH because I like tech. I like .LINK because it's short, generic and cheap (although no one else seems to like it).

I don't like .XYZ because it's visually damn ugly IMO.

oh yeah, and link... and club... hehe

........io...... :O

I voted for .info (cheap), .co (short and you get .com traffic from missing the m), and .xyz (because I like .xyz and it's cheap)

Keywords should be connected with .top
