SEO & different domain extensions and slashes.

    Im really stupid on this, please help. When thinking SEO, do .net .org and .com domains have the same value or will one rank higher with .com?

    And what about slashes, is psychological-disorder.com worse to rank with than pscychologicaldisorder.com ?

    Maybe google isnt sure about this..some norwegian marketers though claimed the slash, the - had nothing to do with ranking lower.

    Search engines don't care about slashes.
    However, I've noticed there are many "anti slashes" types of domainers.

    Haven't seen any actual visitors complaining about such thing.

    It's actually a must have in some cases (eg if your company is called Pen Island - you don't wanna merge those 2 words).

    Search engines don't care about slashes when it comes to ranking, but I would still try to avoid them if possible because it makes your domain harder to remember (most popular websites don't seem to have slashes).
