It depends on where you are going to be targeting. If you have a .com site then it will be good for global and all search engines. Google likes .co's that are specific to the region the business is in so for better rankings on google.co.uk use a .co.uk domain. For US and world sites use .com. I'd steer clear of .biz domains as these never seem to be very good don't think Google has any specific stance on them but I can't remember the last time I saw a .biz site ranking well. Perhaps others have managed to get these to rank? If your domain has the key words in it doesn't matter what the order is for Google but more people will click on domains that make sense.
You should go for a .com domain name without any doubt. There is comparison of .com with any other TLDs. If you find any good .com domain name on auction site then it better to spend some extra amount. You still won't find any generic domain name on any of the TLD so better go for .com whatever you'll find.
I checked the price of registered and parked .com and it is 1600 $. I'll just put "-" between 2 words. I hope Google wont mind
If .com is taken, I would go for .net. But if your selling information material or information stuff, go with .info and it's so much cheaper..
Clash go with the hyphen "-". It's amazing how often it's overlooked and yet it can provide a clean formatting to your keywords. Often it's easier to read then the unhyphenated alternatives. As for secondary TLDs, I'd go with .net or .info. Sometimes an "info" at the end is a fluid continuation of your keywords.
The .com TLD (top-level domain) is by far the most widely accepted extension for a domain name. If you are looking for a domain name for a business then it is even more important to choose a .com for your domain name because of the credibility boost that a .com domain name brings. Yes, there are still some very successful businesses that have domain names ending in .net or .org but just think, as a new business do you really want to chance having a lot of your customers forget that your domain name ends in .net and instead type in your domain name + .com when they go to find your website? There are some exceptions to this rule of course. If you run a business that is based in a country outside of the United States then it can be smart to use a local TLD (.uk for the United Kingdom, .au for Australia, .ca for Canada, .de for Germany, .cn for China, etc.).
No it's not... Nike.net is a stupid domain name and have nothing to do with "internet network". I mean WTF? Nike is an internet network ??? I rather have Nike.co if the .com is taken. Seriously... Also .net = .no in russia.
the days when .net stood for "internet network" in end users minds is long gone. .net is an established extension in end users minds where as .co isn't and in some markets such as the uk where .co.uk dominates using a .co would be extra confusing for them. however my main beef with .co is the piss takingly high yearly fees that they are charging. don't get me wrong though i want their resale values to be sky high as thats good for domainers as a whole
Only if your domain have something to do with networking, web hosting or provide internet services. NIKE.NET doesn't make sense compared to NIKE.COM If NIKE.COM is taken then go with NIKE.CO because they both stand for "commercial". The only difference between .COM and .CO is that one is an old standard 3 letter gTLD (global) and the other is a 2 letter hybrid gTLD/ccTLD (global + colombia)
