Watch your TLD’s when buying domains

October 17, 2013February 3, 2010 by brooke

New TLD‘s are continually being added and it can be easy to get caught up in these.

A generic name, such as ‘shoes.com’ can prove to be a good investment but a domain of another TLD, such as shoes.do or shoes.dm, will generally have a much lower value.

There are ways to benefit from ccTLD‘s and gTLD‘s, although this can prove to be very difficult.

Type in Traffic

Type in traffic is an example of direct navigation; it is defined as a visitor entering a keyword into the address bar of the web browser and then adding ‘.com’ or ‘.net’ (or any other code) to the end.

Internet users may choose to ‘type in’ their chosen term instead of following a hyperlink or searching the term via a search engine. For example if you wanted to purchase a mobile phone you may type ‘mobilephone.com’ into your address bar instead of searching a search engine for a ‘mobile phone’.
