Re: Domain Name Question

[TheDoc]

Sure, there are caveats. If you’re a Canadian company and you want that to be present in your URL, picking a .ca over a .com would be better (but you also want to get the .com to redirect to the .ca).

Here are some points

* .com is easier to remember (eg, how do you spell ‘mobee’?)
* users will try .com first, if they aren’t searching (eg, user automatically puts nike.com, not nike.org)
* .com is internet standard

> The only thing what matters is SEO. You want to be found. Google, as far as i know, doesn’t have a preference in this regard.

This is true, to an extent. There is reason to believe that localized domain extensions will rank better (example being if you want to rank better in the UK you should make sure that you have a .co.uk). Having said that, you’ll *still* want to have a .com to get all of those users that make assumptions about it.

But it’s not just about SEO, it’s about marketing as well. What’s the easiest domain extension to market?
