    I am thinking about buying arcade domains and developing the site and selling it.

    Which .tld would sell better? .net or .co.uk? (Apart from .com that is)

    Thanks.

    Use .co.uk only if your core audience is british, give them a feeling that they are doing something 'at home

    .net (and .com) are the more global, and far reaching extensions.

    if i had to choose between those 2 options then it would be .co.uk

    but to be honest the tld of a domain makes absolutly no difference whatsoever no matter what people might tell you.

    Actually Google tends to prefer some tld's above others. Most people would agree that Google highly neglects .info domains, awhile ago all the .info domains were even removed from the SERP's for a few days.

    hmmm dont agree with you i have had plenty of websites over the years and have never noticed any difference in serps because of the tld.

    I have 2 directory websites one is .com and pr1 one is .info and pr3 and recieves a lot more traffic than the .com from the serps.
