Hi, I am going to create a web site in next month. But I don't know is domain extensions important? I hope, US citizen visit my web site. Because of this, I choose .us domain extensions. It is right?
This is very complicated question and I am sure that there will be many different answers. Lets say, that .co.uk domains rank better in Google UK and .co.au rank well in Google Australia. However .com domain have power everywhere and I prefer domain with this extension, if domain is old this matters.
google give priority to domain extension but you have to get ranked with your domain in order to get visitors
actually there is no effect in of domain type in SEO field. so don't be tensed. its totally OK. but . com domains are like too common.
Domain extension is important for the domain alone, webmaster/site owner should name their site appropriately to show their site authority and being legitimate, ex. if you r site is about school or education, .edu is the best domain extension.
It completely depends on your website's traffic requirement. If you want to target only and only US audience and have no plans for expanding your reach, you can choose .us domain. But in future if you plan to expand your reach to global audience then go for other TLDs. Otherwise, .us domain is perfect for geo-targeting.
