In a nutshell, rather than the ability to register just the typical .com, .net, .org, .info etc, along with country specific TLDs such as .ca (Canada), .au (Australia), .fr (France) and so on, at this point through 2015, individuals looking to register a new domain name have hundreds of options available to them.
New TLDs are being released for registration pretty much on a monthly basis, so the opportunities available to smart domain investors are going to continue.
You can now register a .buzz, .bargain, .club, .expert, .attorney, .ninja, .training; and the list goes on.
There are hundreds and if you're not fully up to date with what's available, just refer here for a look.
Large corporations, celebrities, and brands are well aware of the opportunity (and risks) associated with the new domain name releases. Taylor Swift made sure she picked up TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult domain names to protect her brand from potential exploitation. Richard Branson reportedly went the same route.
The big question is though, brand protection aside, how are marketers using the new TLDs and more importantly, are we seeing alternate TLDs rank in Google?
Answer = Absolutely!
Example #1: Smart SEOsYou'll be hard pressed to find any internet marketing related domains that are still available. Smart SEOs are picking those up well in advance of the crowd. The domain name Seo.Agency caught my eye during a search the other day and so I took a look at how the site is ranking for the exact match keyword (SEO Agency).
Position 6 is pretty good! In this instance it appears as though the site is getting a little bit of a boost in Google results given that "SEO Agency" is being treated as a brand search for this particular website. Nice scoop by whoever got that one!
If you pay close attention to a range of serps, you'll notice that the usual .com, .net and .org results in the serps are becoming increasingly penetrated by alternate TLDs.
I've noticed a number of .infos in the serps. .info domains are not new TLDs, but interesting to see them in the search results nonetheless because there is tons of conflicting information about whether .info domains rank in search results. Here are just two examples:
.co, .biz are also occasionally cited.
On the New TLD front though you'll see some savvy use of new TLDs including;
These are just three examples, but with so many fantastic TLDs to take advantage of, and so many exact-match domains now available, take a moment to sift through the new domains that are available and get a slice of the action. It may not be too long from now until you find yourself wishing you did.
What are the best TLDs available?It varies wildly, depending on what industry you're in. But some nice looking TLDs with a wide mix of potential uses include:
Fancy SEO.Consulting? That'll cost you over $100k:
How about HowToGet.Rich? A little over $3000 for that one:
It's not all bad news though and there are dozens of domains to suit a range of business uses for the price of basic registration, so some time to find a nice, available new TLD that suits your online aspirations!

In a G+ post, Google announced it will begin featuring Vine videos and Pinterest Pins directly within search results pages. With more content showing up in search results, you have another reason to add cross-channel optimization to your content marketing priorities for 2015.
For brands with a Pinterest or Vine strategy in place – this is great news. The content you've created for social can get play in search results, too. But for the 24 percent of B2Bs with no social media presence at all, this could pose a threat. There's now more content to compete with at the top of search results.
Even if you've spent years perfecting your SEO strategy, your posts have the potential to fall behind Pins and Vines.

Pinterest is an ecommerce goldmine – and now that Pins appear in Google search, marketers (particularly B2Cs) are doing their business a disservice to ignore the network.
Alongside the fact that Pinterest is the second largest referral source for social media traffic, 87 percent of active users have purchased items after they discovered them on the site.
Check out these Pinterest successes for a look at the impact the network can play in your marketing strategy:
Take hold of the changing SEO landscapeIf you already have cross-channel strategies in place, Google's update has the potential to build both website and social traffic. On the flip side, if you have been focusing solely on old-school SEO best practices, it's time to realize that the search landscape is becoming more complex. You need to have an active presence on social networks to build your digital footprint and rank wherever people search for you.
