    Im here just to ask an opinion, as we learn new stuff every day. Why are the .com domains more wanted than .net? They're both 3 letters, easy to remember so I'm not quite sure why there are fewer .net than .com.

    Is it because .com domains are older or does this have another explanation?

    I'm thinking of buying a .net because the domain I want .com version is already taken but how would that affect my traffic?

    it depends on the domain
    also on the wat u make your logo and market your website
    many websites being .net work great, only it will need some good marketing effort and design.

    When you want to visit the site of a company and you do not know the domain, what are you going to try first : company.com or company.net ?

    .com is perceived by many as THE top level domain.
