In saying that should my name ever become popular I currently have the whole first page of Google to myself. LOL. I wish I had read this before I had chosen my domain name.

It totally depends on what we want to accomplish with our sites. However perhaps in these days it is not easy to grab exact keyword domains. So many of them have been taken, even the ones that consist of 4 words. Agree with Chris. It totally depends on what we want to accomplish with our sites.

To be fair, it's not difficult by any means, but if you usually do not cover all your bases in the beginning it could come back to haunt you eventually. That's why it's helpful to keep a few things in mind before you get started and as you happen to be going through the procedure. There’s more to registering domain names than many people realize.

We have done some tests and found that our customers will gravitate towards a .com name more than other common extensions.

Just check Alexa to find that some hugely popular sites are .net. The only thing is that poeple are used to .com, so they will more likely "writecrowdfavorite.com" rather than "crowdfavorite.net" but regular users will get used to .net. ** I WOULD DEFINITELY GO WITH .NET IN THIS CASE and make sure to buy all the other available TLDs for my brand name.

I wouldn’t agree with getting a ‘.com’ domain at all costs, probably because mine is a ‘.net’ and I haven’t seen any difference between this and the average ‘.com’!

For instance, if you have www.me.net, you can link all traffic from that url to www.me.com. It is a great way to receive more traffic as well as keep your name relevant in SEO's like google. I recommend purchasing .com's and .nets from GoDaddy.com. They provide great service, reliable customer care, as well as fast start up. Due to economic times, everyone is tending to have promotions and such going on. I found a 30% promo code for GoDaddy Uk. It is as follows: 30% any .coms or renewals - slam3 Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

Could it cost THAT much to where they couldn't afford it? Or maybe it just wasn't worth it to them.

I own quite a few .net domains because they suited my need at the time and the .com unobtainable.
