Long Extension a Deal Breaker ??

[amazon84]

Whats the value of a solid keyword w/ a long extension compared to that of one with a short extension (rough estimate/example)? Does it even matter or is keyword king in this case?

i like short extenion.i think one of the weakness of new LTD is that they are more than 3 alphabet.

That all depends. In fact, the meaning of a domain name is a more important factor when caculate the value of one domain.

Agreed, short extensions are best but I'm wondering how they compare in value with their longer counterparts?

Yeah, that would make sense.

I believe that the reason new TLDs have been slow to take off cannot simply be explained by the fact that some of them have more than three letters. It's a matter of habit and the marketing dollars that have been put into .com and to a lesser extent .net and .org. However, different gTLDs have an equal opportunity to rank well in the search engines as their traditional counterparts. Hopefully, particular new TLDs (which didn't have a flawed mandate from the beginning) will also gain better recognition and identification in the average web user's mind over time as people build useful websites on those namespaces.
