Thanks for the heads-up there Michael - very thought provoking.


We've stuck to .com's simply because I prefer to build bigger sites that target global markets - rather than a myriad of smaller country focused sites.

While I can understand that a English player might like to see a .co.uk site - and possibly identify with it "slightly" more - I also believe that the .co.uk would be a slightly negative turnoff for Germans, French, Spanish. Aussies - anyone who wasn't from that market.

The .com has always been an international "brand" - and remains neutral in my mind - and the mind of most surfers I think.
