Default Domains : .im - Internet Marketing ?? end of .com ?

Hi there,

Well i read somewhere i don't remeber that .im domains are a great future. It seems infomercial / commercial is what a website is. most websites today are informative website and with .info a long name, .im = infomercial could be an upcoming trend.

Also .im also stands for internet marketing and might be used in this field a lot as internet marketing is a very huge thing in todays online world.

Again another use for the .im domain is as " I AM " and something like mad.im can be stated as i am mad !! .

What do you think guys ? you think this extension has potential ? or .com is what you all support all the time ?

Also i read a few things about .org domains for SEO purposes here.
.org Domains a better option – Find out why. | www.domainrule.com

Just a thought.

Prateek.

I have a few .im domains I plan to build some IM niche sites on - kind of expensive, though, as far as domain names go.

.im is the TLD for the Isle of Mann, so you can either get a .im.uk, or just plain .im.

They are going cheap as of now correct ? but i guess the renewal might be a little expensive.

but i guess its a powerful extension.

It has the potential, but barely 0.5% of internet users have a clue what internet marketing is by definition. They are always going to type .com out of habit.

Yup, the type - in traffic might be less, but what about for premium domains ??

Something short and sweet ? , obviously they wouldnt visit the site by type-in , but once they know about the extension i am sure they wouldnt forget.

The big hurdle is that most people only know and use .com. Some browsers insert it anyway. If they don't get it first go, they move on.

Maybe for the future, but as for now, try searching for property. Property.im (while it exists) doesn't appear in the top 100 even though the URL is keyword exact.
