What to do with domain

as many of you know i own www.1stchoicesearch.com

i have just purchased the .co.uk extension of the domain

Now do i redirect it to the .com or

start a fresh directory with the same look but market it for the uk only

ideas welcome

 

i would start a fresh directory
you could link to it via your uk cats in the main dir also
means you have another site to offer submitters rather than just a redirected domain..imo course heh

 

I agree with discover, it seems like a good idea.

 

now do i go with the same template or do i go for another unique look

 

I would say tweak the existing template to include some UK related imagery, like the flag.

You might find that you get a good ROI by charging in £'s rather than $'s.

 

I would keep the template fairly similar, to create branding for yourself, but much like mistermix mentions, a bit of tweaking here and there that really says UK .

 

ok i played with the logo little

 

Nice. You might want to make the "UK" a bit smaller??

 

If you got a .co.uk, make it pay, always use it as a niche for the country it represents, I found that can even help with adsense, don't ask me why I just know a few mates who have .co.uk domains and lots of .com's and the .co.uk's seem to pay more.

 

Something like that, the 'UK' looks too out of place. Maybe you could put a small uk flag somewhere on the site too.

UK sites do pay more on adsense. I think its just a curreny thing and the price of products is higher in general in the uk.

 

made a change to the logo

and announced the new directory

That's pretty FAST ..
Good luck with your directory.
