There is a huge debate about which
domain extension to use. Internet marketers usually have a different opinion than registrars who want to sell the most exotic domain extensions like .BIZ .TV .ME .NAME and so forth for a nice profit. Here is my answer to to that discussion.
The short answer: .COM is recognizable as Internet domain by the largest group of people when compared to the wide-spread of other generic top level domain extensions (gTLD) like:
.NET .ORG .EDU or .GOV
When you say,
MyBrand.COM, almost everybody will know instantly that you are talking about your Internet domain and they will associate it with a website as well.
.COM is definitely the strongest brand among all top level domains
As the domain name space has filled up rather quickly new
gTLD were invented for use by businesses worldwide:
.BIZ .INFO
And as I have read today the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers,
ICANN.org, which is the governing body of the Internet, plans to introduce hundreds of new top level domains.

As the quality of carnivals has declined over the last couple of month so has the effectiveness and resulting traffic.

Welcome to the thirteenth edition of email marketing tips on November 10, 2008.
This week's edition comes to you two days early. Better than late,… What do you think?
My favorite article this week has been written by Yaro Starak, who explains to us how he profited big time from better targeting the message to his readers. Improving the conversion rate of your email campaigns is almost like free money. It's amazing, but over time you can give yourself a great pay raise. One that your boss — if you still have a boss — could and would never give you.
Of course, I continue with Chris Garrett's tips as well and finally I contribute two posts of my own as well. The categories of today's issue are:
- featured article
- tools and services
- strategy
- email marketing for bloggers by Chris Garrett
- code of practice
