Verisign and DNS Belgium both publish trending keywords for their biggest top level domains. For Verisign itâs .com and .net, for DNS Belgium itâs .be. In the last week theyâve both published their August lists.
For Verisign, whose list is for English keywords only, the top .com keyword was âfanâ and for .net it was âhotelsâ. For .be, whose results are published in a word cloud, âensembleâ came out tops while âMercedes-Benzâ, âherstellenâ, âbioâ, âservicesâ and âiphoneâ all featured prominently.
DNS Belgium note that âthe holiday mood completely disappeared in August: domain names concerning campings or campers no longer figure in the top 50. We do notice that a number of companies are building a portfolio of .be websites, with registrations per sales point / region: mercedes-benz and ensemble (for group purchases) are examples of this trend.â Frequently registered words (online, web, shop, etc) are taken out in an effort to present the trends better.
