I have written periodically about various applications of the .biz (Business) web address having seen some impressive real life uses by different companies in North Carolina. From local florists to commercial real estate firms. From medical service providers to global retailers.

Here’s a unique one. Several days ago I viewed on a major highway close to Greensboro, NC a large billboard for ForkIt.biz. Yes, “Fork It”.  ForkIt.biz is a promotional campaign for hospitality careers in North Carolina sponsored by the North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association. The Association is based out of Raleigh, North Carolina’s capital city, and operates its website on NCRLA.biz. A very good .biz fit.

For the uninitiated, North Carolina is a tourist & vacation state with it’s mountains, beaches, and incredible college sports dynasties. These attractions feed the hotel, hospitality, restaurant, and general tourism industry across the state.

Another local billboard for Northstate Communications uses TurnThePages.biz to invite local businesses to switch away from their current telecom provider to North State’s communication technology.

The .biz address currently has over 2.1 million worldwide registrations.

.BIZ Domain Names .biz, career, restaurant

On June 25, 2009 Sedo will hold a private auction for the premium domain name, Wealth.com. A separate Career Auction will occur for one week between June 3 and June 10 and will focus on career domain names like Resumes.com.

Job related search queries have increased considerably according to Google. Individuals are looking for new employment opportunities, and internet search is a primary method of scanning the jobs market.

A press release by Sedo highlights the power of generic domain names in the greater business market. A May 19th release states …

By owning a generic domain that describes a company’s product or service, or a domain that contains popular related search terms, such as Wealth.com, an organization can significantly improve its website’s organic search ranking, while saving money on PPC (pay-per-click) advertising costs.

Popular online jobs sites like CareerBuilder and Monster have been joined on the internet stage by the likes of Simply Hired, USAJobs.gov, Dice.com, Job.com, and The Ladders. A healthy field of competition which will only get hotter.

Jobs, employment, career development, and online education are evolving as very high interest areas with special niche appeal to both domainers & general internet users.
