Domain Question

[NightG]

Tried using the search function but not a lot of luck...

Basically, what do you think would have more potential?


keyword.co (exact match, but .co domain)

or

keywordcentral.com / keywordreview.net / etc (not exatch match, but .com/.net/.org domain)

There's more than one dimension to the answer of this question - you have to account for the lifetime value of being able to snag a keyword.co domain, as well as gambling on how important google will rank .co domains. As it stands right now, I think .com .net & .org are still on top. Having the central/review/prefix/suffix appended to the domain should not matter much for SEO purposes.

Obviously there's been a bit of buzz about the .co domain, and for good reason. The .com domains are constantly being gobbled up, and if trends continue it is possible that in 10 years the only domains available are www.bestawesomeringtones485.com etc (that is, if we're still using the same domain format)

I think that if these are low-key/experimental/temporary businesses, go for the .com/.net/.org option. However, if you're looking to creating a lasting business with high type-in traffic, go for the .co
