.blog domains are possibilities for bloggers to deposit their content on the corresponding top level domain and to disclose right away that it is appropriately self-authored content and opinions.
The top level domain for blogs has been available internationally since 2016. It is a generic domain that is not directly assigned to any country. Bloggers from all over the world can therefore secure the top level domain. There are no specific requirements for the allocation, which means that both private individuals and companies are eligible to register such a domain.
As a rule, there are individuals behind .-blog domains who write blogs on specific topics. This usually involves texts that they have written themselves. Bloggers create a platform under this top level domain on which they write reports on their experiences, express their own opinions or give helpful tips on various topics.
Companies have also taken notice of .blogs domains to establish closer contact with target people. An independent blog inspires more trust than if the relevant content is published via the company website. This allows companies to get closer to potential customers and provide information about values, opinions and products from a more neutral perspective.
Another benefit to a .blog domain is that the generic domain makes it easier to search for content specifically like this. By not having to use the massive domain like .de or .com, bloggers are given another opportunity to actually come across organic search results in Google searches.
The .blog domains have become an indispensable part of today's internet world. Through the added breadth of domains for bloggers, all bloggers have the opportunity to share their content specifically. You are no longer tied to a website where you have to set up a second level domain to make your blog recognizable. Setting up a blog with the appropriate connection from a CMS has thus been greatly simplified for bloggers.
