Dot Biz And Dot Info Sites Few And Far Between

from the register-yes,-develop-no dept

I still get a few spam messages every day telling me to register domains in the new top level domains. While these domains have received quite a bit of hype, it seems that people have been slow to develop them. Many .biz and .info names have been registered - but not to develop. There are plenty that are not hosted anywhere, or that simply don't have any content on the site. You don't see many of them in the top traffic sites. The article names the top .biz site, which is a porn site that only got their high ranking (overall number 2,134) because going to the site pops up tons of advertisements from the site as well, making each visit like many visits.

    Just like Beanie Babies, the only people buying these domain names are collectors hoping to cash in on them. Someone somewhere thinks he's going to get a gazillion bucks for business.biz.
