    Hello freinds,
    Can any one please tell me having a non .com domain name will effect the search engine positions? I am talking about other domains names like .net .org, .uk, .ws etc.
    Do we have to do put in something extra effort to get these domain name to the top position or will it be the same as for .com domain names
    Thanks

    That means if i buy www dot example dot com and www dot example dot net and www dot example dot org i could get the first three positions for keyword "example" in google search pages as the domains is most important that effects the position.

    I don't think so... there are lots of different domain extensions that rank on top.

    People think because they see so many dot coms that only dot coms
    are worth anything. But there are just more dot coms that people
    try and monetize.

    Websites are ranked and SERP'd, not domains or extensions.

    As one example, prchecker.info owns the entire niche for google
    pagerank checking. That's one big, bad, dot info. It's PR 8 even.

    If you search for the right things at the right time, you will see many
    different extensions.

    Domain extensions definitely have no effect on search engine optimization. They are simply just categories of Internet Domain Names. An .pr domain (a country specific TLD for Puerto Rico) with great content can rank just as good or even better as a .com domain with the same amount of good content.
