If you look through OwnedWords.com you’ll notice the domains we own or broker are all .COMs. You may have immediately thought well these guys must be old, true, however the real reason is because .COM has never been out shined for value.
There are a few of the newer domain extensions that seem to be carving out a niche like .io in the tech realm or .me in the social profile category. There’s many people people who will say domain names don’t matter for SEO or traffic building. I think in some cases, part of the time they would be correct. However I do not know any business or brand owner who would throw away the .COM version of their identity. The fact is that the internet went through puberty wearing the .COM label. There is never going to a .ninja boom or bust in Silicon Valley.
