You may know that the new TLDs will arrive later this year. When it comes to entertainment, everyone will be in a frenzy to get the new .attorney, .film, .video, .actor, .moda – there may even be a .whatever. This will all happen in the near future, but there’s a fantastic TLD available right now. In fact, it’s been available for years. Audience meet .tv., .tv meet your audience.

Many brands have already promoted their visual content under a .tv extension. Check out MTV.tv, hotel.tv, and mercedes-benz.tv. Follow the pros and do this with your content. When someone searches for what you have to offer online, it helps if they can quickly find what they’re looking for. Not only will surfers be able to find what their looking for, .tv tells them they can expect video. Since brands continue to increase their communication with video, it’s smart business sense to move or duplicate that content under a {yourbrand} .tv, .video, or .film. The only difference at this point, is that .tv is available now. When the others become available you’ll want to consider which extension is right for you. Can you afford to wait?

Don’t put your eggs in one basket. Just like your financial portfolio, it helps to diversify and segment your online information. Registering your brand name with multiple TLDs guards against others claiming that virtual property and using it to mislead your consumers. This will also avoid the messy situation of domain squatting. On the positive side, .tv and other extensions help create omnipresence with multiple roads leading to your brand. After all, this is why you exist on the web, isn’t it?
