My website is https://jobmob.co.il/. I'm wondering if I should move it to jobmob.co, which I also own. Here's the context: jobmob.co.il domain dates to 2006, while jobmob.co dates to 2011 less than 5% of traffic is from Israel, while over 50% comes from USA/CAN, and I'm aiming for this to continue since .co.il is the Israeli TLD, GWT forces geotargeting to Israel even though my server is in California most competitor sites are .com/.net/.org, so .co.il stands out as different, although in practice, people just remember the JobMob brand Here are the pros and cons of moving that I know of: PROS jobmob.co will mean a shorter domain name and urls Matt Cutts said in 2011 that Google basically treats .co as a gTLD, and I could change geotargeting so that it's no longer forced to Israel (which only represents a fraction of my audience) and hopefully leading to a rise in global search traffic CONS jobmob.co.il is much older, and domain age is a positive ranking signal people confuse .co with .com, leaking traffic and misdirected email (leading to people wondering why you didn't reply) BUT this already happens to a small extent with .co.il anyway switching domains is a PITA, even if done properly So what do you think? Should I make the switch?
I think he mean that you should use the main site with .co extension, then use 301 redirect all .co.il urls to .co I think so.
