.biz vs. .com on google and other SE'S? Any comment? Please feel free to post your comment for a good result of this issue. Thanks
and what about .uk domains, how do they change search results, say somone searching in the states, will they find a site with a .org.uk domain?
About these country TLD's I am not pretty sure, but for local searching are important IMO. But for the main 5 TLD's, there shouldn't be any difference.
It probably only depends upon the language for general searches.. how could google know if you wanted a .org or .com unless you somehow specified it?
I'm not sure it matters much for SEO but .com's are better for other reasons. I remember a site that people kept talking about.. everyone would go to the site and say "that's strange" they would aoutmatically go to the .com but the actually site people were talking about was at the .net.
Yeah, a .biz is just going to confuse or lose direct visitors considering .com is now in the vocabulary of most of the american public but uh... .biz is NOT.
yes that is true but you can use a .biz domain just try to purshase the .com domain also this way you will not loose any potential client.
Google don't 'prefer' any TLDs, .coms simply seem to rank higher as they tend to be older with better SEO and older more numerous backlinks. On the subject of country specift TLDs, these are ranked in the local SERPS according to several factors such as the TLD, the location of the host and the location of sites that link to it.
It doesn't make a any difference to the search engines whether a site is a .com or .biz or any other TLD for that matter. However in terms of human recognition, a .com is the best way to go if it's available.
The only domains that are favored and thats mostly due to the means of acquiring these extensions such as .edu and .gov - .org is the easiest to attain that has a slight edge.
