Being a huge fan deals myself, I find myself visiting Slickdeals.net several times a day. I often wondered why they never owned the .com version of their domain name but the other day I saw an updated on the whois of Slickdeals.com and is now in control of the owner of Slickdeals.net. According to Compete the .com got around 50,000 – 70,000 unique visits per month. The .com was formerly a parked page seen here, now the domain is 301 redirected to the .net domain.

Still think any extension besides .com is worthwhile?

*I do not have any details about how the domain was acquired, nor when it exactly happened.

    Slickdeals.net has run a tremendously successful business on a .net, where the .com seems to get about 2.5% of the traffic as leakage.

    Annoying yes, confusing yes, business killer no.

    Smart to get the .com? Absolutely.
