Does .co & domain name bother you?

Hi.
I've been running this side-project (Q&A interviews with bloggers) for a while and trying to figure out 2 things.

  1. Is BlogProfits a good name and capture the essence of the site?
  2. Does .co domain extension bother you?

Site: www.blogprofits.co

Thoughts?

Thanks!

    I've always liked .co. For me .co and .io are right there behind .com

    I really don't like .co domains. The risk of someone typing .com is too great.

    I don't think it bothers hip tech people because we all know about the scourge that is domain name squatting.

    I would not care about domain names and extensions too much. .com, .co, .io — they are all great, especially for a startup.

    1. Yes it’s a good name, it capture the essence of the site perfectly.
    2. Not at all! From my PoV it has a fresh look. Like .io

    Mind you that indiehackers are usually 'ahead of the curve', so their answer in rely to your .co domain might not be the same as your target audience.

    1. I honestly couldn't give 2 shits about it.

    I do not even notice the extension tbh. If the website description interests me, I click.

    I don't think .co domain name is a problem. But .com names still seem to be more suitable to build brand websites.

    I think Blogprofit is suitable name for your project. It is not ambiguous, but clear and concise. The overarching theme of the site is blogs that are making profit/revenues and your name, Blogprofit, I believe conveys that.

    .com is the status quo. However, since 2012, people have been exposed to more extension. If .com is unfeasible, then .co absolutely fine; particularly considering your target audience are internet savvy. The average person who's enthusiastic about starting online business is aware of .co extension. That's my surmise.
