I vote for the dot com

Cella · Feb 20, 2012

I like the .com better too.

thothguard51 · Feb 20, 2012

.com...

I might also suggest do not go searching for the name unless you are ready to purchase it if not already used. Reason, Domain Jumpers search the search base to see who is looking for what...

Dot com. I like having dot net addresses available in theory, but in practice it all seems to go bollocks up. I can never remember that part, but I would recall "books."

Jersey Chick · Feb 20, 2012

I voted for dot com as well. I think it'll be easier for someone to remember (I can't tell you how many undeliverable emails I've had returned to me because I used dot com instead of dot net.)

MarkEsq · Feb 20, 2012

Thanks everyone, much appreciated. There seems to be a pretty firm consensus, so .com it is. And I've already reserved the domain, good tip TG, thanks.

merrihiatt · Feb 20, 2012

Late to the game, but I was going to say dot com, as well. Dot net isn't as common and trips people up.

HistorySleuth · Feb 21, 2012

.com for me too.

Enigma101 · Feb 21, 2012

I voted for the .com All the best.

victoriafoyt · Feb 21, 2012

I'd say that if you're strictly promoting your written work with the site then the .com is best as it has "books" in the url. if you're promoting other things you do professionally as well as your books, you might just want to make it your name.

Perks · Feb 21, 2012

I can tell from a distance you're a .com kinda guy, not a .net. It's a gift I have.

Thanks Victoria.
I have a different site for my stripper and gorilla-gram services, so just books on this one.

Link please.

Carleree · Feb 21, 2012

Yes, definitely PM me with the link

Helen Taft · Feb 22, 2012

I don't dislike the (.net), but (.com) does seem more professional for some obscure reason. However, I do prefer the name only without 'books'...up to you though
