I have a buddy who runs the websitehostingdirectory.com – very bright guy in terms of SEO & he has said to me that .com & .net domains are ok but that other extensions do not get picked up as much by the search engines. I do think that if you are trying to geo target that a country extension works ok, for instance for uk web hosting on this result
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGIC,GGIC:2006-37,GGIC:en&q=uk+web+hosting there is only 1 site in the 1st 10 results which is not a UK domain (although they are a UK based company)But looking at generic results like:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGIC,GGIC:2006-37,GGIC:en&q=web+hosting
there are no domains in the first hundred results which are non .com /.net or .org(omly 1 .org)Good luck in your search
I unloaded all my .TVs … these guys act like a real estate landlord so
even if they are cheap today … they may jack up the prices for your lease
in the future … so with them you may have an unwanted partner … I believe
.com / .co.uk is the way to go especially with more countries banning
gambling or actually keeping it all to themselves.
Seems I was right after all.
I finally am in the middle of buying a .com .
I wondered how exactly important a .com could really be.
Now by reading the responses here, I just found out that I was SO RIGHT after all.
I thought about .infos and stuff like that, but, really, when I do a search on anything, a lot of .coms do come up, before .orgs and .infos usually.
This has just confirmed my suspicions.
