    Hello,
    For me no, did you check your competitor for these keywords? Are you working to rank better these keywords? Are you winning backlinks for these keywords? My 2 cents

    The best reply i can choose from his feedbacks on this article is this :

    "I had very high appreciation for you Aaron but reading these crap (irresponsible statement if you don't like the word 'crap') totally blasted your expertise to the sky for me

    biz looks like "business" and com which is "commercial" doesn't ?
    Because the internet society embraced .com as a generic tld, this makes it the only one we must use ?

    Certainly .com has more value but clearly for one reason only, has much more demand. This is not because it's nice or beautiful but because through the years most of the internet together with respected and big companies adopted it. It created the "replication" model where minor people/firms follow the steps of people leading this business

    Why don't we stop all the other TLDs, even better terminate ccTLDs too. One TLD is enough if it's the only one people know
    Why ICANN takes applications for more TLDs ?

    I think the question was about ranking and your reply should be "no, the TLD has nothing to do with rank spots"
    He didn't ask which TLD looks better, with the obvious answer ... "com"
    If Google launch Google.biz , and makes .com redirect to .biz how many people you think they will run try to grab a .biz version of their site ?

    You compare a TLD with 15 years history for another with just few years, a TLD that internet was based on because there was no other that time with a totally new one

    Looks logical to me for your service awareness .com to have the first place
    Afterall USA was one of the last countries without a ccTLD
    Only until recently felt the need to launch the .us
    .com served as regional and international TLD

    I respect your opinion as a simple user but you know you're not a simple user. As a specialist your words have more weight. For this reason when you "drop" these lines makes much more noise than a simple person

    Sorry but deleting my seobook bookmark. Aaron i will give you an advice, it's good when you speak for things you know but when you try to speculate to look professional for things you obviously don't know or can't understand it's better to leave these fields untouched, at least not before you read and understand their operation"

    IMHO, Since all good 1 and 2 keyword combo's are taken in .com, I would much rather use Widgets.biz then BuyMyWidgets.com or GetYourWidgetsHere.com.
