TGIF Domain: LiveWebcast.TV




We skipped this week's 2-For-Tuesday domains; however, here's the TGIF domain name of the week- LiveWebcast.TV which is somewhat comparable to LiveStream.com though a dotTV domain name. LiveWebcast.TV has a more popular, intuitive ring to it, as evident by the more popular keywords- "Live Webcast" vs. "Live Stream". Moreover, LiveWebcast.TV has a strategic, universal, classic dotTV extension for an online video Website. Point blank "Live Webcast" features a more relevant keyword combo than "Live Stream". "Live Webcast" clearly has the better keyword search marketing stats (see below stats). Nonetheless, as you know, LiveStream.com recently sold for $100,000.


By the way, here's "proof in the pudding"- check out the online video search term keyword stats: Goog search results for "Live Stream"= 3.63 million search results & don't foreget LiveStream.com is the $100k name. What do you here? What do you SAY? The bottom line is the better & more effective keyword combo- "Live Webcast" is worthy and a force to be reckoned with- 5.03 million search results. But you don't need me to point out the obvious. dotTV is a specialized niche for sites that operate solely as Internet TV/ Webcast site destinations.
