    keyword.org when keyword.com and keyword.net are holding pages

    or keywordblog.com when its going to be a blog anyway? :)

    I would probably use keywordblog.com because it is memorable (you dont lose as much traffic to the keyword.com maybe), it is more descriptive of your website (blog), and because I still feel wierd sees ads served on .org pages.

    Yeah keyword.com is the best choice, but it is often unavailable. Someone already registered Glen's "keyword".com and keyword.net, so he is deciding between keywordblog.com and keyword.org

    .com all the way! Some people including myself will purposely leave out .net and others because 95% of the time when you tell your clients and even when it's printed on your business cards thats it's .net, they still enter .com. It's a given. So i purposely register .com and rake in extra traffic from the .net people.

    Does this make any sense?

    Register keywordblog.com if it is a blog. Then register keyword.org, and forward keyword.org to keywordblog.com. The $7 to register it will be well worth the traffic and appreciated value down the road.

    I would go with keywordblog.com. I don't like .net nor .org for the simple reason that if you spend money driving traffic to the .net or .org name all the owner needs to do is use the .com name and he has a large percentage of your traffic.

    Most people assume the .com when they are typing in domain names.

    keywordblog.com is no longer available so I hope you grabbed it. I would never post a domain name for consideration unless I had already registered but I guess I am the suspicous type.

    keyword.com is easier for people to remember. Shorter is always better and most people think of the internet as .com they will type .com by habit. Most never think about .net & .org or the others.

    Why not protect your investment and buy all of them?

    Keywordblog.com since keyword.org doesn't make much sense. And I like .com much more. So my advice, go for the .com :)
