| Have
you heard of the other tlds (top leve
domains) such as: .free, .church, .video,
.travel, .llp, .golf, .school, .agent and
.love? There are many more too. Wait!
Don't wretch just yet. I'll tell you why
in just a minute. If you look for a
great domain name for very long you will
learn how rare they are. Trying to find a
one word dot com is a futile effort. The
only exception to that is the occasional
name that someone gives up. The problem
with that is you must search a list of
thousands (or tens of thousands) to find
one and of course you must get there
ahead of the next person. If you just
have to have a one word dot com, be ready
to shell out thousands or tens of
thousands of dollars.

there are the dot net, us, cc, org and
biz. Generally if you checked a dot com a
few years ago you could find the net, org
or biz equivalent. Not so anymore.
Besides, the only one of these related to
business is biz. So why am I writing this
you ask. First, though, think about it
for a bit. I did that and realized it
would be (is) great to have
stockpick.free, camera.video, poem.love,
game.video and loan.travel. Are you
beginning to see what I mean? Don't you
agree that these are somewhat better than
allthefreeebooksyouwant.com or
stopheretogetaloan.com.
The
point being made here is "type in
traffic" (people who go online and
just type what they want in the browser).
You could wait for years for someone to
go to the internet and type in one of
those dot coms.
Think
again, though, about how many will be
looking for toy.free or camera.video.
What would it be worth to you to have 30
or a hundred or a thousand people
searching for a video camera typing your
name into their browser? Pretty obvious
now, huh.
I told
you not to wretch, now I'll tell you why.
There is a wesite where you can get these
tlds, and there are lots of them. They
are at new.net. When you finish reading
here go and see for yourself, but let me
tell you two more things.
1. You
need to download a plugin to view these
sites (very easy)
2.
