Already got keyword.org, is it worth getting .com?
« on: January 19, 2010, 04:27:28 PM »
I've got an exact match .org for a 4 word phrase which gets quite a bit of traffic. The site isn't really developed yet, but its showing potential.

The .com of the phrase is about to come up for auction on snapnames; is it worth grabbing this too, or does the .org enough to dominate the phrase?

Thanks for any advice.

Depends on the price/cost. If you have the .com the .net and the .org it would make it pretty hopeless for anyone to compete with you unless you sleep on the job... ;D

It is a balance between what income can dominating that KW bring in, vs. what does it cost to nail down the domain names that are the primary access routes...

Yeah, if you think you've got a decent winner (and using Nichehorde, you should have an idea) I can't imagine it would NOT make sense to go ahead and get the .com version. For just $7 you can eliminate anyone else trying to steal your niche.

I got it. Cost me $59, which is 2 or 3 affiliate sales in this niche. Should be easy enough to make the invested back, and then some :)
