I'm just wondering if having a site with a .tk domain would be a bad idea, because i've come from the school of thought that says that 99% of surfers only think in terms of .com, and that other domains are pointless.

However, i am aware that certain "second rate" TLDs dwarf others in terms of notoriety and traffic (i.e. thehun.net), but have also suffered from buggar all traffic and Google refusing to index some of my .net and .org's.

Penny for your thoughts.
