    Hi guys,

    We are looking to buy a domain, it's two words and very competitive.
    The only domains left are .uk.net and .uk.com.

    does goole devalue these domain, we are only looking to rank for our domain name?

    thanks
    Les

    Les,
    Firstly you should be aware that uk.net and uk.com are two characters .net and .com domain so what you are really buying is sub domain of the aforementioned two domain extensions. There is absolutely no problem with them, Google does not devalue then if anything you have some built in advantages, I have two .uk.com domain names.

    Good luck.

    Doamin name itself is nothing for google. So do not worry about that and register them. To have better ranking in google you will need to have content optimized

    If that domain has greater value and your target market is UK specific you should buy both.
