Indeed. Many Internet users--especially the novices--still think that .COM is the only top level domain.

But having a memorable name has a great deal of value, in my opinion.

Imagine if you were opening up a ranch in Texas, and you wanted to start running tours and vacation packages. Which do you think would be a better domain name to feature in your TV commercial:

a) www.TomSmithRanch.com (or some other brand you might be trying to establish, or

b) www.RanchUSA.net

I think that RanchUSA.net would certainly stick in the mind a lot better.

Of course, I own RanchUSA.com, which I'll holding for a while :o)

As always, IMO.

No offense taken!

Keyword-rich domain names can generate some very nice traffic due to their search engine friendliness and people's tendency to intuitively type-in keyword domain names directly into the address bar of their web browser.

Thanks for your comments. Enjoy your weekend!

No offence to you, but I really don't see these as brandable. I believe the key to traffic is producing healthy relationships with consumers. If you are anonymous, there's just no purpose in doing business with you.
