Im talking quality keyword names .BZ
not .BIZ ----- .BZ

Doesn't seem to be a very lively market

They had some nice sales around 2-3 years ago. It is not a big market, and it is not too lively nowdays as Kate says. The positive side about .bz is that Belize is an English speaking country with $1.35 billion GDP and 300k population. Not big numbers but if you think about it as a city and you have top keywords, it can be a good investment. Obviously the big typos are long gone, but as .bz is a possible typo for .biz, there are some huge revenue earners.

.biz names get type-in traffic ?

[tetrapak]

Any large developed website gets type-ins, doesn't matter what extension it uses. Forget about purely the domain, think about highly developed websites. I've seen a few large .bz sales due to this.

[katherine]

I don't know of any large .biz website

[Gee]

it is not a good investment

it is worth noting that arab dont like .biz or .bz because it sounds like .breast in arabic

[tetrapak]

Okay...

Since when did people start caring about Arab traffic...? The only person worth any value from those countries is the Saudi prince, and I doubt he's buying your website any time soon.

They probably ban half the web over there anyways.

Stand clear. I would not invest in this extension or develop a website in this cctld. Think about the confusion, .bz not .biz. The public, as a whole, does not get the .ext thing or the reason for it. They just know how to get to their favorite websites and a majority of those are still .com.
