For example, if I owned the domain BookStore.ws, would I have an SEO advantage like I would if I owned BookStore.com? Does anybody here have a .WS website that gets lots of traffic from Google?
I have just bought a .ws domain which is the perfect keyword for my niche. Its only just indexed in google but im hoping i will be able to get it ranking well. Has anyone had any experience?
In my experience Google doesn't look on .ws differently to other TDLs, a friend of mine uses it successfully for a site. In my opinion though the problem with .ws is not how it is treated by the search engines, but the public's lack of familiarity with it.
The only thing that I think is bad about .ws is the fact, that most people are going to think that if they click on it, they are going to a splash page for GDI. Well not most people, but anyone who knows anything about .ws GDI is the only company that offers this, and the main reason I have found that one has this is because they are an affiliate. I do not think that the search engines give a crap less. They are focused on the content of the site, not the sub domain. Hope this helps.
Yes, lots of the domainer knows the GDI, of course not most of the domainer knows it. then - Much much and much less end user knows GDI
