Marketing Assets

We’re excited to have you partnering with .blog to help bring a unique opportunity both to your business and your clients. Over the years, we’ve continued to see the diversity of blogs grow and along with it the potential of the .blog domain.

.Blog combines the unique benefits of both generic TLDs and vertical TLDs.

It is a high-quality domain yielding high renewal rates, usage rates, and attachment to paid services rates. The combination of a high-quality trustworthy extension with wide market access creates large and profitable opportunities for selling .blog domains. 

To help you build awareness around this domain option and share .blog with your clients, we’ve created the following Marketing Assets as a one-stop shop for your promotional needs.

Showcase / Featured Sites

We like to think that blogs can be for anyone but not everyone. As a TLD that is both generic and specific in meaning, we have dotbloggers in a number of industries and areas but there are generally three types of customers for a .blog domain:

  • Personal – Individuals are using .blog domains as a space to share their thoughts, opinions, and interests on a wide range of topics. A blog provides them with an opportunity to connect with others that share interests and stories. 
  • Business – Businesses are using blogs to draw in potential customers and bring them along the customer journey. Through blogs they’re able to build trust and show their expertise and authority in their industry. 
  • Brands – Brands are using .blog domains to humanize their brand and further engage with their audience. This is done through strategies like showing the “behind the scenes” stories of employees, sharing blog posts with helpful tips and tricks around their industry, and highlighting the real-life benefits of their products and services.

You can see specific examples of the creative ways .blog domains are currently being used through our featured dotbloggers and showcased blogs. We invite you to look around to see examples of all the different types of dotbloggers.

Here we offer a collection of profiles and interviews in blog format.
