One of the biggest factors in .cm's popularity is that it is just one letter away from .com web address. In fact it could even be said that this is as close as you can get without being a .com! So, how can you make the best use of this?

Direct Navigation Web Traffic

'Direct navigation web traffic' or 'type-in traffic' is the term used when a user enters a web address directly into the browser address bar rather than going through a search engine first. With more and more people choosing to type domain names straight into the web browser address bar, a good domain name is a valuable asset.

Acquiring your generic web address

Registering a generic address such as taxicab.cm or cookery.cm can bring in a high amount of traffic made up of people interested in services or products that you already provide. Generic names can often be costly to acquire once they've already been registered, so it's important if you're going to register some, to do so at the earliest possible time during a launch!

Large corporates such as The Bank of America (loans.com) and The Times newspaper (news.co.uk) will often use direct traffic on generic web addresses to point to their websites. Generic terms using .cm domain names are sure to be valuable assets.
