.Biz and what it means
September 29, 2006
Many URLs are now taken, both .com and .net versions. While .com is obviously the best, .net will do. In the eyes of email, they are the same, there are no penalties or awards for having a .com vs. .net domain, but the one domain that really hurts - .biz. Spam Assassin automatically assigns a 2 score to any URL that uses a .biz domain. While you wanted to keep your URL simple and easy to remember, consider the damage it is doing to your brand and email marketing.
Try get another URL to reference that is .com or .net and allow that to redirect compared to sending people to a .biz. While redirects don’t help any for SEO, they work great for email so drop that .biz domain or get another domain for your email, it will allow you to have more confidence in your email being delivered.
