Some of the new tlds are available for sale now. Are they good in terms of SEO? Does domain extension play any part in SEO?
I specially interested in .onl, .blog, .xyz and .community domain extensions.
How do you guys compare these new tlds to .com or .net?
Yeah, that's one of the only problems. To get a .ZONE one it's about $26 a year.No, especially when they come with a massive premium price.
I see no reason to ever use such a domain... really I think they should stop giving out anything but .com and the country TLDs. Just a way to make more money for domain registrars.
Why would you invest time and money in whatever.xyz when half the people will be going to whatever.com out of habiit?

Because SuperHeroes.Zone can make such a neat T-Shirt? Because it makes more sense than SuperHeroes.com?Why would you invest time and money in whatever.xyz when half the people will be going to whatever.com out of habiit?
Marketing?

Because .com was originally targeted at commercial enterprises but was *******ized into a catch all because it was "the in thing" and everybody and their momma wanted a DOT COM.
It's really a pity it can't be forced that the TLD's be used for what they were originally set up to be.
and no guarantee that after twenty years that superheroes.zone would be still available for sale.Currently.
Twenty years ago, 99% of the population would have had no idea what superheroes.com meant either.
No they dont :/ Most are <$20, it's just some registrars (GoDaddy, NameCheap, Gandi to name a few) are slapping their own premium markup on top. Check out the registry prices, then find a registrar with the lowest markup. The registry price is not (and never has been) published on the domain registrars site. As an example the registry price for a .NET is only $5.11 + ICANN fee, yet some places sell it for significantly more, often matching .COM which has a registry price of $7.85 - both of these are due to increase slightly within the next few months once again.No, especially when they come with a massive premium price.
Bingo.Like everything in the world, change is difficult to get used to and in some cases to accept. Eventually, this .com only phase will be moved onto .<insert whatever>
Habits can change. If you are searching for something, what does it even matter what domain extension it's on? You are looking for a topic, right? You don't search for "passenger side mirror honda prelude 1989 .com", you simply search for "passenger side mirror honda prelude 1989". The rest is up to how you market your name as well as the content on your site.
Nonsense. The internet is EXTREMELY young. It'd be like saying back in 2008 "Streaming music will never catch on, people are too set in their ways with buying direct from iTunes".I think if they would had done this along time ago it may have caught on. But I think we are to set in the .com world now. Now one is going to remember all the new extensions and they will still be typing in whateveryourwebsiteis.com and wondering why it's not working or being re-directed to a different site all together. I mean I don't even see people using .net anymore, everything is .com and people are too set in their ways. A good idea but way to late.
