Choosing a domain name #2 - .com , .org or .biz

Nugget :
” Go with the crowd “
This nugget is one rule that everyone doing online business has probably had to learn. They either learnt by burning their fingers or by listening to others who got their’s burnt.
As far as naming your domain is concerned, stick to the .com’s as much as possible. I’m not going to bother going into any details over this one because it seems pretty obvious. Do any listing on top sites in any field and then it becomes clearer. Its not too likely that you are going to find too many sites that don’t end with .com .
Like I said in #1 it wont hurt to be unique, the difference here is that most of your visitors and clients may just go as far as memorizing the actual name of your site. As far as domain level names are concerned everyone assumes or presumes that your’s will end with a ‘.com’. Problem here is that you’ll keep losing traffic to whichever site that has the .com equivalent of your site. If the site is half as good as your’s , chances are that your clients’ll most likely never discover that their in the wrong place, especially because having the same name means you are both probably within the same niche.
So as far as this one is concerned I’ll advise you to stick to the .com url’s.
