PRO Domain Extension Will Weed Out Spam And Rank High In Google
Filed Under Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Updates | 13 Comments
If you have been in the Internet business as long as I have, then you know that domain extensions come and go without making a dent in the rankings of .com and .org websites. The .net extension has performed the best out of all the non dot com domains, but clearly not anywhere near a .com.
Enter the .pro domain extension. I haven’t seen as much talk about it as I expected even though it has been out for months. I suppose that professionals online don’t feel it will crack the dominance of traditional .com’s. The fact is .pro will not only rank high, but has the potential to take rankings away from the vaunted .com domain extension.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore .PRO Domain Extensions
If you are a professional and have a brick and mortar business, you absolutely must grab your .pro domain. I was astonished to see how many important domains were still available. You must have a business license to keep your domain. If you don’t provide them with a business license along with the licensing entity within 44 days you will loose the domain and they won’t refund the money. Since .pro domains are not available through wholesalers like godaddy, you will have to use Network Solutions or another registrar. You can get a list of .pro registrars here.
Fell free to leave a comment if you have any questions about .pro domains. I have 2 sites that have just been released and will keep everyone updated on their progress. Once they are in the SERPS I will put up links to them.
