    Hey there,

    I am trying to get one domain but i have just figure it out that .com .net .org and .info extantions are taken. So what do you suggest me to go for? .tv .tel....

    BTW, i am going to use this domain for a technology review blog; therefore, if you guys think about it in the SEO point of view.

    Thanks!

    don't worry about the other extensions, they are crap. Get a .com/.org/.net modifer. Try adding a letter or something related to the end of the domain. E.g if 'internet marketing' was your keyword look to add something to the end of internet marketing.

    Go for .co , the newly launched Domain Name Extention.
    As you are going to review technology, I recommend you choose one of these extentions .com, .net, .info , which will good in seo point of view. Bcoz .biz for business purposes, .co for company purposes and .tel and.tv has also their own purposes they can mainly used. So simply go for .com, .net or .info.

    well i have experience of selling a couple thousands
    domains till now so i guess i could answer your question fairly
    well according to my perspective .com is the bestseller
    and people tend to buy it
    on other note if you don't get the name you're looking for
    invest in a .co as they have a huge potential

    why not ask the owner of the .com if he is interested in selling - you never know!

    If it's good domain it's probably snached by domainer and he will ask for $xxxx :/

    Just look for brandable com - like neaxotech, intelineo or some thing like that

    A ".me" would suit a blog.

    Nothing ( if you want to have an easy time ranking) , and don't compare .info with .com .net .org

    A 5'10" person and a 7'0" person could both make it into the NBA, but obviously one has a huge headstart over the other.

    A .com/.net/.org site and a .biz/.tv/.whatever site can both be ranked well, but the former has a huge headstart.

    You should get a .co or your nationa tld, like .us, .ca, .es etc. Any will work for you if you have something special to do on domain.

    I like domains .biz . So you should try this once too.
    However, I like sometimes top grab .eu domains.
    If you live in USA you may try .us
    My most beloved domains are .info and .org
    I'm living in Europe and I have got a promo often and can grab
    .eu domain for $0,33 for one year. Good to parking.
    Conclusion, try .biz - very good domains.:)
    I dislike .co , very expensive :(

    .Co may be expensive but if you plan on investing on a domain, it would be nice as showed by figures from sales reports. it seems to have good potential so i suggest it. or you can try .biz/.me/.tv

    other than that, if u plan on establishing a good website for your local business, a respective cctld would be fit like .ca, .us, or wherever you might be :)

    ... or maybe try a domain hack with ur preferred cctld? lol just a suggestion that you might like.

    anyway, good luck :D
