    Why? There is certain advantage of .edu and .gov domains - but little difference between .biz and .com domains...

    There is no advantage to any extensions. but .com does look more professional to the customers

    I recommand not to buy BIZ domain if .COM is not available
    try different domain name

    because many general people even doesn't know there are few domain names like .BIZ, .US etc !!

    so stick to COM

    I am not agree.

    Biz does not have many difference as .com
    but .info has slightly different as .com because of the price. Google discriminate first year .info if you do not have nice backlink

    all I know is that I have never seen a .biz anywhere near page 1 of SERPs. I cannot even name one popular .biz site, either.

    .BIZ is good for business related site. bt me too prefer .com if possible bt for most case .com is not possible. I myself choose .us then or for other ppl country lever domain.

    Domain extension will not make any difference in search results ranking.

    I suggest you buy the .biz domain.

    Domain extension comes in action when we talk about particular geographic location

    i bought this domain(wordpressthemes.biz) a year ago and it got pr4 after the first pr update. i see that it is pr3 but the domain is in parking system for 8 months. and the site was on top 20 for the keyword "wordpress themes". that means, .biz is not bad.

    note: i sold that domain.

    Probably just because there aren't nearly as many. I'm using one .biz domain and its got #2 on the front page for a target keyword, up against a lot of pages that are 1-2 years older and more established.
