    .COM is short for “COMpanies”.

    .COM is the most popular and commonly used domain. I tried to make few research about why “.com” is the most popular but I couldn’t find a very convincing reason except that the first registered domain name was in the “.com” particularly SYMBOLICS.COM

    .ORG also was one of the first generic TLDs.

    If your site is NON-PROFIT in nature, a .COM or a .ORG or even any domain extension will definitely work for you. It doesn’t matter. It’s just like giving an extended name on your desired domain name. In short, take your pick. One thing is for sure, all domain extensions have the ability to post your site on the web.

    If you’re a PROFIT-ORIENTED site, I believe .COM is better than .ORG. As World Wide Web(www) became more and more popular, web designers and web owners often desire to have addresses which can be easily remembered.

    i read on seo guides that "-" acts as a space and seperates both key words for double benefit
    benefit of both individually and also along so its good in a way but diff search engines have diff algo

    Actually, .CO is the abbreviation of "Company" and .COM is short for "Commercial".

    .com will always be the preferred choice for domains in the general public.
    .net this was very popular for forum users and other businesses; however, would be my second choice.
    .org used for educational websites in the past; however, is growing in popularity recently.

    hello good people :)
    .
    i find .org domain with my focus keyword related my site topic and .com is available with added some words with my focus keyword. I know .org calling a free something about all that, now my question is .org and .com has any different priority to Google for seo ? please any one honestly suggest me which is better for me because it's my long term plan.

    can i still go ahead with .org domain without any confusion for seo ? or .com is better with add more words ?

    @Shohag Malik - you couldn't find a newer version of this thread?
    No SEO difference but a big difference for your users. If you aren't an Organisation then people will think that you're a little odd for having a .org domain. Go for .com or any of the many, many other extensions.

    The search engines care about keywords, on page optimisation etc. The extension has little or no effect.
