Just Bought a New Domain with a Strange Extension!

Good Evening All,

I just bought a new domain name for a new site. The niche is highly competitive but has a huge audience.

I spent hours on Jaaxy today looking for great keywords. I found a 4 word keyword phrase with results of 538,665/91,572/296/75. Not bad!

So I went to NameCheap and found out that a domain name using those keywords was not available with standard extensions; like .com, .org, .net and .info; they were ALL for Sale to highest bidder.

They offered me a domain name with my keyword phrase with the extension (never heard of it) ".rocks" for $8. Kind of cool since my last name is Rock! So I grabbed it!

Just wondering what the WA community thinks about such a "domain extension". Mistake or not? Worth the testing for $8 ... I think.

Cheers All,

Joe
