Hi I am trying to buy a domain for around $1k The domain is an exact match of the keyword but with .org extension. I was thinking of using it as a comparison site of all services and try to bait traffic to my actual site. The keyword is competitive and there are lot of adwords competition for that word. My question is - is it easy to rank a keyword.org in 6 months? Please help.
Doesn't really matter the extension, the work on and off page what counts....and this is hard to put it in a time frame, but again, not because of extension
Yes very easy. At times it seems like my .org's are ranking better and faster than my .com's. I've had .org's on page one, for medium competition keywords, in only a few days. It all depends upon, good on-site SEO built around targeted keywords, unique fresh content, and quality backlinks. hope this helps best of luck, Justin
Agreed. Actually, at this moment, Google seems to be giving preference to exact-match .orgs. Not sure if your domain is worth the asking price, but there are no SEO issues with .orgs.
