I am looking for other views on this topic. I have been reading online about the importance of having a .com. I feel that your average internet user has it in their mind that all websites end in ".com", but just HOW important is it to have a .com these days?
I am working on a business name, and the .com I want is taken. However, all other extensions is available. I have emailed and emailed again for the .com to the owner listed in WHOIS, without a response. I would wait it out, but this domain is registerd until 2009,so I am having to rethink my strategy. This has lead me to ponder just how important is it to have .com, over lets say a .us (my business is in the USA so I feel this would work). In a head to head test, with two domains, lets say one .com and one being .us, with the same content, would the .com have a advantage for SEO? Would anything other than a .com have a disadvantage?
Any suggestions welcomed!
