What do you think about local domains ? Do they help traffic ? I have a greek youth community portal and i am thinking of changing to .com
If your primary traffic is from Greece then you do not need to go for .com alternative because Google.Gr will provide Greece specific results whenever someone searches 'pages from Greece'. However, I prefer to purchase the .com and forward it to your .gr domain.
Thats true but i thought that .com sites were ranked above all others. Is forward effect me rank cause the domain name i have in .gr isnt avaliable i .com cause its a killer one
