Why get non dot coms?

    Is it worth the money to get the us and info and org [maybe even net] versions of a domain?

    Is it useful to get anything more than com at all?

    What I'm thinking, specifically - besides dominating pagerank with multiple sites, if SEO [e.g., rank 1] is totally attainable with one website. . . . would it be more than just a buy and sell for the rest of the dots? Would it be worth it to keep the other sites and "cross-link" for traffic? Or would it be better to sell the other sites and get traffic elsewhere and make money?

    Is it worth it to get the others? For what uses?

    To prevent a competitor getting it. Isn't that a good enough reason?

    It's a double edged sword - money.net is infinitely more valuable than moneyfornoobs.com

    Since it's my thread and under Business<Domain Names - can someone appraise my domain - DomainAquarius.com.

    Also, if you'd be so kind, AquariusDomain.com.

    I've said that Aquarius is the first non-tm keyword in the "top keywords" list for the last 90 Days. Someone else said reg fee. I said, "what!?" lol. Whether it's a "brand" or not - I'm new at this. But I do know that astrology seems to have a market, and this specific site is for Aquarius' online meetings [or whoever they are compatible with]. Onward - I still think it's worth more than reg. What do you say?

    Thanks.
    IanBo.
