.com or .org?

    What's more effective, .org or .com? Does it make any difference when it comes to selling a domain name with rather .org or .com?

    .com is more brandable, and has low visitor leakage due to typos.

    Yeah, definitely .COM is more effective than .ORG... In term of price, .COM is more expensive than .ORG :)

    .org is for a organization and .com for a brand

    It is common sense. .com is more effective, as it is way more popular.

    .COM domain names are the ones which people type by default.

    If you're getting the desired domain name in .com just go for that.

    .com is the best. Easier to rememeber. .org just looks ugly.

    I have read somewhere that Google relates the text of your .org website with an organization type style of writing. And in this way it know that whether you have chosen .org because you are actually an organization or just because .com was not available.
    there is different effect of each of them in SEO

    I personally prefer .com names. They are generally easier to remember. people often assume that your name is followed by .com

    .com oviously. I learnted that get the correct domain before buying. Search on google your name you are going to name the domain. Better if it had no search results.

    Dot com is always the better domain name. Everyone will search for it before org. Only time you should use another one is for a specific country that helps if you want to rank better for that country.

    .com is much better for commercial and .org mainly used for non-commercial.
    for what you need domain. say if it is for selling products/pharma then you should not use .org
