    Hey Guys,

    Any news as to the importance google is going to give to this extension? is it worth buying? or better yet, get some old .com´s with the keyword in it from archive.org?

    Thanks

    better .com
    for any .xx domain, you cannot change your GEO target. But if you do not need change GEO target, it might be an advantage

    .Com still rules the Search Engines from so long! i prefer to .com because more people are involved in .com technology rather than other new domain extensions

    I think its better for you to buy an old .com domain. As its the most popular extension on the net.

    There are many sites that are doing well in .co and other extensions. Mostly they presented so well their information and the information was appropriate enough accordingly to the sites...

    Above ones already said .com is much better compared to .co and I totally agreed with them. However, if you cannot use .com and have to choose another domain extension, net / org is the better way to go than .co in most seo aspect I could think of.

    Google algorithms are changing all the time so what might work today might not work in a week from now

    Depends what you intend doing with the domain. A .co may do much better if you are targeting local traffic only. Many .co.uk are also doing well on Google and even outranking the .com's but it all depends on quality of content.

    .com, .net, .org, are the only worthy to use.

    Exactly .. You may choose something else only if you are targeting a specific area like France .fr or England .co.uk

    I think it depends on what you're using the site for. If you're hoping people will type the name into your search bar, then .com is the way to go. If you're trying to flip the site, .com, .net or .org are best (though .com much better than the other two, most of the time).

    If you're just trying to bring people to your site through regular traffic methods, it shouldn't make a difference.

    Is the .co tld representing a country or is it devised for companies and is a general tld... just like .com or .net? :confused:

    hmm co is new extension
    .com is best
    and that is not true .co will not get more popular

    there are lots of sites who using .im .ly and more
    and some of them are under 10k alexa rank

    its depends on site quality, how much site worth is !

    thanx

    .com will be only king of all extensions and .com is only popular in all extensions.

    Sure .com is everytime better than any other domains out there. You get an extra advantage for your SEO efforts. You will get lots of old domain .com if you look out there for one. Try to find the best .com you are looking for and if you dont get the domain then look out for org. But first preference is always .com
