domain name extensions - 6/20/2006 15:13:23
Hello.............
My website has a dot com extension. I have been told that if one owns "all" the commonly used extensions (for your web site name), it will definitely have a positive impact; yeilding improved positions/visibility when people use search Engines (to find relevant items in your area).
The relevant extensions I'm referring to are: .net .biz .info .org and .us
(These would be set up to automatically forward any internet user to the .com extension)
I would appreciate anyone's input on this.
Thanks! :-)

Thanks for your input.
That's exactly why I bought them......so no one gets the benefits of what we've done. .........but I was told that there would be a plus with the Search Engines, which I'm very skeptical about. I have all the "other" extensions pointing to the .com so the search engines see only one anyway (I think?)
Have a great day!

Well I buy them because I don't want the competition swiping them and pretending to be me.
I do it for the same reasons but I have heard of other reasons. For instance PartyPoker advertises their .net site as a free game site but their .com site is not free but a pay site. Many people will type in the .com addy just out of habit but they are able to advertise in all forms of media because the .net is a free site and not a gambling site.
It's not illegal but can be a little deceptive.
I have heard nothing regarding being more popular in the search engines tho.

There is absolutley no benifit when looking ONLY at a bump for owning all extensions on a domain.
It helps other areas, some were pointed out above.
Take care,
Brian
