I’m not sure if I’m late to the game or not here, so forgive me if so.  This morning I’ve been doing a bit of searching on Internet Security Suites.  My current subscription will expire soon and I really don’t want to use what I’ve been using.  Hint… It rhymes with a popular movie in the theaters now that starts with “Horton”.

I wanted to read up on BitDefender because I’ve heard that’s a somewhat light suite.  My current suite just seems to suck my resources dry at times and it’s not like I don’t have enough RAM.

As I did a search for BitDefender, of course it was the first site that showed up.  Of course beneath the listing was the usual breakdown of other pages in the site.  But underneath that was another search field that would allow me to search directly on bitdefender.com.

Anyone else noticed this?

We all know that Google is the wildly popular search engine used by the majority of web users. But, where else do Internet users go to search the Web?

Nielsen/NetRatings ranks the top 10 search providers by the number of users and share of total searches for the month of July.

Aaron Wall made a post today stating that he doesn’t like .biz domain names. I can’t say that I’m a fan of them either, but I’m not sure about his reasoning.

The question posed was along the lines of switching from a .biz to a .com for better ranking. Aaron believes that a .biz extension could hurt your exposure because the .biz is geared toward business in general and therefore could cost you some links.

Now I’m in the same boat as Scott who points out the fact that .com is commercial. That was the whole basis for .org domains. So the “commercial = spam” can be applied in theory but not logic.

In all honesty though, who’s going to register a .biz domain if the .com is available? Not sure you’d have many takers there.

I think the question is more, “Should I try for a variation of a .com domain instead of choosing my desired domain in a .biz format?”

In that case the answer is a big YES!

I think a .biz vs. .com domain is most always going to come out with .com on top. Although I’m not so sure it has to do with the extension itself but the perspective built into web surfers. A domain with a .com is seen instinctively as more authoritative than a .biz.

If you are going to register a domain and you have to choose from your desired domain in a .biz format or a variation in a .com format; make the smart choice and go .com.
