    I have been looking into .im, .in and .bz lately...
    I know of course .com, .net and then .tv are like the top extentions. What are some other top extensions? It doesn't look like .org or .ws are that big....

    .in is the country level domain.

    .in stands for INDIA

    all those 2 letter extensions are mainly country level domains

    .im is Isle of Man
    .bz is belize


    and as said above .in is India

    I disagree, .com is the most sought after and second after .com comes .net.

    To the original question - perhaps .in is getting a lot of traffic these days but there are other domain extensions doing just as well like .co.uk and .se, however nothing is remotely close to .com

    .Net is better to use if .com isn't available...

    I will choose .org only after .net...

    As people said .Net is considered better than .org.

    Also, traditionally .org domains were used for non profit purpose like a freeware site and ....

    .im & .bz are extremely weak ccTLDs & personally, I wouldn't waste my money on those extentions. On the other hand, .in is a very strong & growing extention & is definately worth looking into.

    In terms of other strong ones: .com, .net, .org, .info, .tv, .co.uk, .de

    Hardly anyone uses extentions for country codes anymore. .co.uk and .de of course because US residents cannot register them but, yeah it seems .in is growing because people aren't just useing it for india. Like people don't use .tv for tuvalu. What about .me? I have yet to see a popular site with .me. I would guess the following is how domains are ranked right now...

    .com
    .net
    .tv
    .in
    .info
    .mobi
    .org
    .me

    Is this pretty accurate? Also do you think .bz or .im will get stronger in the future? I also noticed .LA is getting bigger and godaddy still doesn't offer them.

    .me is also a country level domain for the country called Montenegro. Yes people dont use them for thier countries more but google rite now gives more preference to it if the person is searching from that country

    .tv .me and .in are ccTLD.
    .tv is not that strong, you can see they are dropping every day good keywords. They are good only for television related websites
    .Me it's good only for domain hack otherwise it is worthless
    .In it is good for domain hack too

    I'd list gTLDs like this
    .Com
    .Net
    .org
    .Info
    .Mobi and .name are at the same level, if no strong keywords are worthless.

    It's extremely hard to find a good .in domain that is still available.

    Incorrect, anyone in the world can reg .co.uk names as well as .de names

    I would rank:
    .com
    .net
    .org
    .tv
    .info
    .us
    .in
    & say don't waste your money on .mobi, .me, .bz, .im, .la
