Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Yep, can't wait to try the new www.the.ski

The prob with these new/odd TLDs is that they look like a mistake.

boredsurfin, Oh, I did that before I posted. OK, so they are only supposed to be sold to ski related industries and proof is supposed to be required. I bet that won't stop the resourceful Chinese.

I do like the way that a) every comment I make is assumed to be serious (it was a flippant joke!!), and b) it is assumed that I post without reading and digesting related material - often I post just for a joke - at least to my SOH. rolling eyes I even put a laughing emoticon in. rolling eyes

I know someone (the son of one of my closest friends) who is a ski instructor for Club Med in a Chinese ski resort.

Interesting challenge on how to price stuff - what would 3v pay for 3v.ski for example? 10K per annum?
then how much for big TO to get chalet.ski? 25 or 50K
Just a drop in the ocean of a marketing budget for big resorts/to's

Surely they need to be making these kinds of money on all the obvious domains to make it worthwhile them selling wayneo.ski for a solitary £59 per annum

I'm off to register pandora.ski and point it to the relevant thread here...

bertie bassett, on the surface the new TLDs look like they should be worth something but you need to think about how you typically arrive at a desired web page... often as a result of a search or a link. Rarely do you actually tap in a full www.whatever.whatever

More and more people are beginning to realise that just tapping a brand name into a browser will throw up the site they are looking for. The .whatever is way less relevant than people think. And where will it end? It's an industry in its own right and few get used.

Got to agree there, its all about how people find and arrive at a website, the .ski domain names might help a little for generic search terms but not for specific items, I think the .ski is more of a vanity type thing, but in saying that I have registered quite a few

^^^ this

The whole point of them opening up all these extra domain extensions is to stop cyber squatting and people holding domain names for ransom. I cant see postion in SERPS being drastically affected by it especially as Google has moved away from keyword targeted URLs

I see no reason why this shouldn't be just as successful as all the other new TLDs. i.e Not at all. Very Happy
