Thanks Dan for asking, I rank the value of the extensions in this order. Of course com is
#1, followed in order by .org .net .biz .info, and then all the country codes trailing the field.
The main reason I rank dot.org near the top (
#2) is as an organization it denotes trust and integrity of the firm using the dot.org extension and less of a commercialized image.
A consumer likely feels more at ease and confident in dealing with a dot-org web-site vs others, and perhaps also more likely to place an order
The unique dot-org image is not enhanced only for charities but also profit making firms and commercial web-sites too.
Also, I am sure you have noticed the zillions of TV commercials for dot.org web-sites. Perhaps more than even dot.com commercials.
All the other extensions have almost zero usage on TV or elsewhere. P.S. What happened to .TV - LOL.
