What are the most popular domain extensions?

Ron: Right. Bringing up, on that topic, where you’re talking about the other two options in new extensions, which are .info and .biz, I wanted to go back to one point I was going to bring up when we were talking about sales trends this year, one of the most interesting trends, to me, in the new extension side, is that in 2004 .info dominated that space, when you’re comparing .info, .biz, .US, they had 72% of the sales above $1,000, but here in 2005, five weeks into the year, it’s about a 50/50 split between .info and .biz on sales at that level.

. Info’s had 11 reported in four figures, .biz 10, and .biz was nowhere near--they really weren’t in the picture in 2004. So something seems to be happening there, it’s a little early to say that’s gonna hold up all year, but so far, the signs are that it’s maybe making some inroads [ph] with small businesses that haven’t been able to afford the . com’s with where they’re going these days at very high prices.

Monte: Right, right, that’s a good point. Well, that’s great, Ron. Well, I really appreciate you being on the show, and again, we’ll have you back in about a month or so, and do another check up and see how the industry’s doing.

Just a couple other announcements, I know that many of you are waiting for the archives of these shows, they’re coming, I promise, within two weeks, we’ll have them up on our site. We did hire a transcription service, as I announced last time, and been posting on the boards. Every single archive will be transcribed and put in PDF documents on our site, as well. I do apologize for the delay, it’s outside of our hands, and they’re really working hard to get that done for us.

Also, we’re gonna be at SES this year in New York, it’s gonna be a great show, there’s a lot of--that’s the Search Engine Strategy Show that Jupiter Media puts on. We’re a sponsor and we’re gonna have a booth there. We’re bringing out a new Traffic aggregation monetization product, called Traffic Club, and we’re real excited about that.
