    Hello,

    I am wondering about domain TLDs in US. Mainly - about 90% of domains have .com TLD. I want to create new website but domain redwidgetsreview.com is not available but the same one with INFO or ORG or NET or US is available.

    What do you think about other TLDs like INFO, NET or US. I skipped ORG coz I think it's generally for non-bussines sites.

    But what about redwidgetsreview.us or redwidgetsreview.info - is this a bad domain when I want especially target us market and for info TLD when it is a review site (so it's INFO site)?

    Maybe there will be a drop in conversion rate? Maybe that's why ppl use .com names?

    What's your experience?

    net is better than info.

    the main problem is that people remember the first part of your domain and they just add a .com at the end...

    like those companies that were advertising their legal .net (companyname.net) websites because they were sure that most of the people would go anyway to their illegal to advertise .com (companyname.com) domains...

    But do you think it's better to have a domain name like: theverybest10-redwidgetsever.com or top10widgets.info ?
