The relationship between better ranking and the new top-level domains was
proved by a study of Searchmetrics for Berlin-domains. Websites with
Berlin-Domains frequently place better than websites with .de domains and
.com domains in regional searches with Google. The result of the study by
Searchmetrics can be summarized as follows:

 

 "42% of searches show that .berlin domains rank better locally ."

 

The study of total sites in Houston shows that the results by Searchmetrics
can be generalized to all new top level domains, including the new
Art-Domains: It was proved that Google uses the domain endings of the New
Top Level Domains as a key element for the assessment of domains. Total
sites draws as a conclusion:

 

 "It is clear that the new top-level domains improve the ranking in search
engines."

 

 If you do not want to build a new website for the new Art-Domain, you
should know, it is easy to forward your existing URL or domain to your new
Art-Domain.

 

The Sunrise period of the Art-Domains lasts from 7 December 2016 to the 7th
February 2017. You can register at the Sunrise Period with a brand. You must
register your trade mark at the Trademark Clearinghouse beforehand.
