what's best -> .net/.co.uk/.org

4tex · Aug 16, 2003

Hi,
If I was going to buy a domain that was a two word 'keyword' domain and I had the choice of a .net / .co.uk / .org in respect to search engine ranking, maybe type in's and also attractive looking domain what would your ranking be for .net/.co.uk/.org ? ?

.co.uk is most popular.

I am not sure whats best for SEO.

Google uses 100 different algorythems

-D) to determine your PR.

The domain isnt a big factor..
Links is one of the (if not) the biggest factors.

.net for sure! been a global domain i'm sure it would recieve more type-in traffic than .co.uk? unless your target audience is UK based only i would go for .net.

Thanks

I always thought .co.uk is WAY moer used..

I think the .net would be the way to go, unless like said above, your website is targeted towards UK visitors.

.co.uk definitely for the UK market. .net will always lose out to .com, unfortunately. If you want a real differentiator, get a .biz or .info. May not be the extension of default, but if yours is a memorable site that is particularly relevant for these new extensions, people will learn to remember.
