discuss Is there a market for .Ws ?

[gdndd]

Hi everyone,

Is there any market for good keywords with .Ws extension ?

Is this worthless investing in the extension ?

Thanks

I see Google is now treating this as generic.

i got

Neiyi.ws ( Neiyi is chinese for Lingerie )

i bet there is a market
but
it needs times

.ws could be WebSite and it is very easy to find on the keyboard

Aftermarket for this ccTLD is ~0 except some Chinese sales...

It has been treated as a gTLD for SEO purposes for years now.

Have tried selling top keywords (Offices, Commodities, etc.) without much success a couple years ago. With the onslaught of new extensions, it will be even harder for .ws to rise above the noise. I am also a bit concerned about the stability of the registry, given that unregistered domains are wildcard redirected to promote a dubious MLM scheme.

Try visiting any .ws that isn't registered. You'll see.

What SEO-purposes???
Google completely ignores all strings after dot.

By default ccTLDs are treated as geo-targeted towards the jurisdiction they correspond to by Google.
You can see this in the "Country Targeting" tab inside the Google Search Console.
Only if you are using a real gTLD, or a ccTLD that Google has deemed "global", you can change the geo-targeting here. Otherwise it will be the country you have used the ccTLD for.
