Corporation Service Company research identified and announced via press release the most popular infringed terms within domain names.

CSC analyzed more than 445,000 domain names to determine the most popular prefixes (words that appear before a brand name, like “my” in “mycsc.com”) and suffixes (words that appear after a brand name, like “store” in “cscstore.com”). The data looked at more than 100 randomly selected brands and all domains filed through the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). The top terms found were:

Prefix:
www
my
buy
e
the

Suffix:
online
usa
store
shop
com

Notice how a lot of these terms are related to ecommerce?

Massively Popular Community Driven Deal Site Slickdeals.net Acquires .Com Domain

March 5, 2010 · 1 Comment  

slickdeals-acquires-com

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.
