Study: Other TLDs Important, .Com Still King

Domain giant Sedo recently conducted a survey at Internet World 2009. Out of the 100 participants polled, two-thirds said that a site’s domain extension says a lot about its credibility. While 90% of those surveyed own a .com domain, 45% said they use .uk as their main domain. In addition, more than half said they owned other TLDs such as .eu, .org, and .asia.

Nora Nanayakkara, the Director of Business Development at Sedo, had this to say:

Our research confirms what we’re seeing in our marketplace and is good news for the wider .uk brand. While .com continues to claim more than 75 per cent of all new TLDs sold, .co.uk is proving to be a sturdy investment, especially in representing a local trusted brand. Average sales are now valued at £1,004, making .co.uk a wise purchase from a branding perspective for those companies looking to establish themselves in the UK.

Keep in mind that though only 100 people were surveyed, none of the results are surprising. As more and more businesses and individuals plug into the web, .com domains are becoming harder and harder to come by and alternatives are becoming more desirable.
