Direct navigation traffic stats

.Com > .Org > .Net > .Info > .Biz

[Webwork]

Anyone (everyone else) notice the same pattern?

The .Org effect might be a reflection of robustness of the domain names. If they were .Com domains I'd be sitting on my sailboat right now.

The .info domains almost never click, even on fairly prime keywords. It might be that other targets - like city names - would do better for .info direct navigation. Unfortunately, I don't hold any .info city names. :(

Keyword, as always, is most important. Long .Coms do well. Long "other TLDs" are near zip. I guess if there's nothing to see after all that effort typing .Com why go hunting for .info or .biz - unles you want the domain name yourself?

I know there's a few .Info guys/gals out there. What's your experience.

Any .biz guys / gals?

It's because bleed usually occurs within the extension, and the order of your list is the same order as the number of websites/webpages in each of those extensions.

If you have widgets.info domain and there is a popular site at bestwidgets.info, widgets.info will get most of the bleed. There seems to be very little cross tld bleed.

As the new extensions mature and the number of websites increase the bleed will increase

Agree, as far as generic globals go it's all about branding. Many people will try .com then .net then .org.
Most people are still not aware of .info/.biz/.us but that's not to say that they will not be. Europe is using .info a/ .biz and America is starting to use .us much more...time will tell us all.
