27 10 2009

Verisign, the custodian of the .com domain extension, is aggressively marketing its .com extension in India by emphasizing that bigger profits are possible with a .com website.

The company has launched a new initiative called Be A Leader With .Com in India and has several case studies to show how a .com web site has helped businesses thrive on the internet.

Verisign is aiming to showcase to its audience the following benefits of a .com website:

  • Competitiveness: A .com domain name is one of the most popular across many geographies and industries.
  • Reputation: Many of the biggest and best corporations around the world use and promote their Web sites with a .com extension.
  • Customer traffic: A .com domain name is by far the most likely extension to be tried out by visitors from type-in traffic.
  • Creates a positive perception: A .com domain name suggests that you are serious about doing business and lends credibility.
  • Establishes longevity: .com is one of the oldest extensions and suggests a well-established presence on the Internet.
  • Improved visibility: A .com domain name gives you the right advantage in a populated online landscape. Today’s search engines are geared to recognise .com. For example if you type mydomain into a search bar without worrying about the ‘www’ or the .com, you will end up at http://www.mydomain.com.
