Lets say the .com of a domain is gone but you have the alternative using the domain extension is it of any use or value? For example: livetv.com is gone but live.tv is available, is there any value in purchasing the alternative in terms of SEO benefit and domain name value? TY
Actually I think that the .tv name will help in seo since it will be picked up as a keywords when you search for thing slike 'live tv'.
I doubt it....i've found domains to have little seo weight. If anything it's better for brandability, but in terms of seo value it's not worth much if anything.
I don't really think a .tv will make too much difference. The one problem you may get is that television related websites may pop up along your search results.
But when you do a search for example 'live tv' if the search includes a .tv domain then the tv in .tv is highlighted aswell as the other keyword therefore suggesting that search engines use each and every part of a domain to find relevant keywords. Thats my findings anyway.
If you do your SEO work properly, it won't matter at all. The value of matching the "tv" is so insignificant given how many millions of web sites are already in the search engines with "tv" somewhere in and on them, and so many "authority" web sites have that two letter word in them. Focus on your SEO and don't worry about the domain name for it's SEO help or hurt. If you like having your identity brand built with that as part of the domain name, great.
Yes this is right just concentrate on your SEO work. Don't think about domain extensions they wud no do matter. They do matter when you try to make your site geo targeted. But if you launching your site for world then they don't matter for serp's..................
