.biz domain rocks!

Adie · 04-07-2011, 10:45 AM

I can't believe this is really happening. Last Feb I registered 5 .biz domains in different tough niches and wanted to experiment. 3 on health, one on sports, and one of freebies (my sig). I started doing promotion later February and yesterday, my CB sales suddenly increased by unexpected number. I checked and it is on top 2 behind the com!! Last time I checked it was on 3rd page. Domain has 85K exact US searches. I said wow, SEO is not all about domain extension... It's all about what you are doing and how you do it...

More .biz domains to come..

InTheMaking · 04-07-2011, 11:18 AM

unreal man.. I want to know what backlinking your doing, might even shoot you a pm

paulgl · 04-07-2011, 11:33 AM

Don't let this get out. Drives domain sellers and resellers crazy.
They have a habit of populating forums with only a "dot com"
mentality, coming up with all sorts of ideas that ride on unicorns.

Panda has literally quadrupled my income on several aff products, if your content quality is good and has an organic following and syndication you will do very well in the coming months..

Keep it up

What details?

I SEOed the site heavily ONpage and posted it to my lists of 50 web 2.0 manually, and posted to another self hosted blogs manually on their sidebars. Posted in some forums and signatures. No article submission nor social bookmarking done yet... The site was actually sandboxed for around 2 weeks but it bumped too high when it returned.. it has currently around 1300 BLs.

mrfusion · 04-07-2011, 11:51 AM

Nice, keep it up!

Interesting experiment indeed. I too would do a similar experiments (including some more extensions) in order to confirm it to myself

Thanks for sharing.

I'd be willing to wager there are more scams, schemes, cons, and
spams that use dot com more than anything. Conclusion?

hostas · 04-07-2011, 01:18 PM

I also noticed few cases when .biz have higher position then .com
(with te same keyword in domain)

I wonder what they used before .info came about.

shuvo · 04-07-2011, 01:29 PM

Well It seems really interesting to me.I never think of a domain without .com.However I am also gonna buy a few biz domains.Thanks for sharing your experiment result.

Kenwa87 · 04-07-2011, 04:59 PM

good luck to you and thanks for posting. Will have to test this out further.

Andy Yusuf · 04-07-2011, 06:57 PM

what about the price of .biz domain ?

is it higher than .com ?

A little bit lower.. If the com is 9.. biz could be around $8... it depends on registrar

tayuyaa · 04-07-2011, 08:07 PM

Awesome, congratulations on your success!!!

Ofthemix · 04-07-2011, 08:30 PM

I bought a .biz a while back . . . then started beating myself up after reading some threads in the WF that talked about how ranking a .biz was really hard. I haven't had any more trouble ranking it than I have with a .com.

AlexSafie · 04-07-2011, 09:14 PM

I've heard that .cc rank well also.

socialbookmark · 04-08-2011, 01:36 AM

Its not wonderful. Any seo'd domain with powerful backlinks can rank high regardless domain extension. I think your keyword is not competitive that you can rank in top results after some weeks. Yes?

Adie · 04-08-2011, 06:33 AM

2. The other reason is because it is 100 times harder to get biz domains ranked then any other domain because google does not like the less know domians

Sounds a myth to me.. Tell experts about this...

So rather, you're saying that it's not hard to rank a .biz domain, you're saying that it's hard to keep it ranked?

haha... the website had gone through google dance and I am adding content and backlink manually.. unless I do stupid thing, the site could lose it's ranking.. but I am not seeing it happening. I've been doing SEO since 2004 and I ranked hundreds of sites already,

type "share online" and "big news" on google search and tell me what you see...

Haha good work. Though one of your keyword has good exact Monthly searches around 9k but local searches for google.com is less.

Absolutely great job.
Encouraging and interesting !!

And your .biz is on page 2. Not bad. Lots of competition.

Are · 05-04-2011, 07:23 PM

Imglad to read this as I bought some .biz myself (all the other were taken).
I do want to say to those who think that .info are for spammers or rank hardly that is totally FALSE!!!
I have many .info and not only because they are cheap (even if 99cents is damn cheap!), but because most of the time the .com and the others are already taken, and I can tell you that I rank very good some .info, and people click on it, click on my ads and buy the amazon product I there promote ! So I don't believe all the .whateveritis is better that .whateveritis2

GrowTraffic · 02-25-2012, 10:42 AM

Congratulations! That's right. The domain extension is of little importance. What matters is good on page optimization and high quality backlinks.

NiyazK · 02-25-2012, 07:44 PM

You domain have great links

... A Big diversity of backlinks yea

attorneydavid · 02-25-2012, 10:05 PM

I registered a .biz for a spec local home improvement site rental. EMD for one term. Ranks just like a .com. Gets clicks.

It's a good alternative. The .com advantage is mainly for high investment businesses that'll get good branding.

I just bought a .pro for a personal local site. We'll see what happen. It sounds good. cityhomes.pro

there could be more going on then just your .biz
