The .PRO Discussion

[InvisionTech]

It seems .PRO is slowly coming out of the cage with cheaper reg prices than they were a year ago and major registrars like netsol taking notice of the extension and promoting it.

Here are some that I picked up in last couple of days:

Alexandria.pro

Anchorage.pro

Arlington.pro

Belfast.pro

Birmingham.pro

Budapest.pro

Durham.pro

Fairfax.pro

Italian.pro

Lisbon.pro

Fire away with your regs after the relaunch on September 8th, 2008.

The thing about traditional domains like .com, .net etc. being good for SEO is that is not only TLD but searchers are more familiar with the traditional domain names. The gTLD .pro is good for exhibiting professional services and if the website is well optimised, then it will rank higher in the SERPs.

.PRO is traditional.
Since 2004.
