Comments on: .mark, anyone? http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/06/26/mark-anyone/ Insight and Analysis from North of the Border Fri, 05 Dec 2008 11:02:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Roman http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/06/26/mark-anyone/#comment-74195 Roman Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:16:33 +0000 http://www.markevanstech.com/?p=3544#comment-74195 What would cost thousands of dollars is to register all the variations of you existing domain, so nobody can infringe on your trademark. What is interesting is how google is going to index these websites. Right now it gives more importance to .com domains over .info or .biz and that is why they never caught on. Needless to say that finding something via search engine system becomes more difficult every day, so the creation of millions of new domains won't make it any easier. This move is just a way for domain registrars to grow their business even more. As a web entrepreneur I am not really fond of the change. I am wondering if could pre-register domain before the start of new program in 2009.

Then, I could register www.mark.mark. As long as I can have .marc.marc then. :) > Who knows, maybe there will be a .mark domain. Then, I could register http://www.mark.mark.

Hopefully this will provide much more scope. I did alse read somewhere that these domains could cost thousands of dollars to create though. Obviously that would not be cool and would severely hamper the proliferation of them. I think this was a much needed change, particularly with the difficulty in obtaining a memorable domain.
