    does a .com extension have an SE result advantage?

    Does .com have an advantage of .us when being searched for ?


    Thanks

        The main advantage is type in.

        If I tell you I have a product called Mywidget, what will you type into an se to find it? mywidget.com.

        You've read it, you can't unread it.

                      Not everyone, but a number of registrars are giving away 25 free .infos (first year only), with Afilias (the folks who run .info) underwriting the promotion. I get spammed about this by registrars regularly.

                          actually in terms of alphabetical listing in directories it does, so by ranking higher in content replicated directories like dmoz you get a better ranking on link popularity based search engines like google.

                          does it effect it directly
                          no
                          does it effect you indirectly
                          yes

                              The only advantage .coms really have is that people are more likely going to click them in the serps.

                              A lot of people learned that .info .biz domains or subdomains will result in spam, popups, redirects, ...

                              I do not say this is always the case.
                              But a clean indexed .com gets more exposure from what I've noticed!
