Yup it is, for example .com extension can help you to get high ranking globally. .in domain can help you to get high ranking in India. in the case of TLD, Google's Matt Cutts has stated that the new TLDs won't have an advantage over existing domains, but was unclear on whether keywords in the new domain extensions will act as a ranking signal.
Yes, domain extensions affect the website ranking, domain names with local extensions have better chances appearing in local searches than international extension, if you are targeting internationally then you should choose an international extension such as .com, .net, .org, etc. But if you are targeting for local market only, say Canada, then you should choose .ca extension.
Domain indicate what does the website means in terms of global positioning, business type, language etc. it has the influence in google ranking
Domain extension does affect rankings. The .com domain is best. Similarly, you have localized TLDs such as .uk for promotion in UK.
Search the web (for anything) see what comes up .com names only (well 99.9%) as been like that for the past 17 years + So better go with .com names 2cents
Really terrible logic. That's because .com makes up the bulk of the SERPs and the sites are more established.
Actually, you'll find the exact opposite. Most Google employees will tell you it is irrelevant UNLESS you are optimizing for a particular country. Then you should use the country's TLD and host it in the country. The perceived .com advantage is easy to explain. Do me a favor and go to this website: playbaseball What would you type? The odds are enormous you are going to go to playbaseball.com, not .net, not .info, not .club. .com sites get the advantage of expectation, which in the end results in more natural backlinks, more tracked "typed in traffic", and other factors which will trigger Google to give them a bump in the rankings, NOT THE TLD, the effect of people's actions. If you can get a .com, you should for that reason. It is what people expect to type at the end of a website name, and therefore you lose traffic if you don't have it.
There is more trust associated with .com domains and they're much more likely to get type-in traffic but provide a SEO benefit? Nope. It it does it would be a minor ranking factor. Don't get me wrong I always want the .com but that doesn't answer your question and I've had plenty of success with other extensions it's not the end all be all that some think it is.
People recall .com domains easily compared to others. If you are using .club for an actual club and spreading the word among the patrons of that club, then google ranking does not matter at all. When people who know your site come often, Google will increase the ranking as it is.
I believe it does, I have many websites.. .com .in .co.in .ca Where as i can experience .com is only website where traffic is coming globally, from US, India, China, Australia... But other extensions are lesser in SERP, And getting traffic from there local extension market..
