    Hi ..

    I'm really confused and don't know what to choose ..

    I have the .net extension available for my favorite domain name, and the .us as well ..
    The website will be an american targeted website ..

    which one do you choose ?

    I think they would both be regarded equally, but it depends on your keyword. There are a lot of factors at play here, so it is hard to tell. However, if you have the letters/words "US" in your target then, probably the .US would do better in the long run.

    I'd say .net would probably be easier to remember. They both should be about the same as far as SEO goes...

    .net is costlier, .us is not very common but you can still go for it.
