.PW vs. .PRO
Sure, .pw can be repurposed for "Professional Web," but which of the following domains are more likely to
resonate with consumers and end users when viewed in print ads, tv commercials, billboards, business cards and search engine results?
Voicemail.pw
Voicemail.pro
SportingGoods.pw
SportingGoods.pro
HomeTheater.pw
HomeTheater.pro
HealthInsurance.pw
HealthInsurance.pro
Movie.pw
Movie.pro
Going.pw
Going.pro
When browsing through the app stores from Apple or Android, you'll see the word, "pro" used in the app title more consistently than any other descriptive keyword or modifier. There's a reason for that. Think about it: long before Al Gore invented the Internet, "pro" was widely used, both as prefix and suffix, to describe a multitude of different products, services and business entities.
PRO = Professional = Credibility
The word "pro" is both familiar and intuitive. And it's been a part of our business nomenclature for generations.
Think of the word "pro" as SEO for the brain! Can you say that about .pw?
In the meantime, while global business interests and domain speculators are tripping over themselves and literally spending
hundreds of millions of dollars in application fees, alone, for a shot at bringing
1,900 new domain extensions to market -- with no guarantees of ICANN approval or ultimate success, dotPro is approved, in place and ready to roll. Simply follow the dollars. If speculators and investors are betting that kind of hard money on success for a yet untested, untried new crop of domain extensions slowly making their way to market, maybe, just maybe there's room for one more domain extension that embodies that familiar, descriptive, legacy keyword of business and commerce: "PRO."
