.Net vs .Org

[tonegawa]

Hi guys,

anyone knows which domain extension is better between .net and .org if the .com is not available? Also are .com privileged much more by google?

[AlbertE]

If .com not available I prefer .net :-)

Google love new and exclusive content, no big difference .com or .net or .org.

[2intense]

.net

[Chosen]

.net if I had to choose between these two.

[Dejan]

nonprofit organizations mostly use .org

[alias]

.net if no .com

[potter]

If .com isn't available, I'd just spend another day or two coming up with more .com names until I had one that was available.

[naz2k6]

.tk is best

[CurrentlySober]

.poo for me...

[HomerSimpson]

.net is better than .org in most cases...

If you do a good seo job, doesn't matter what tld you're using. Really...

[Markul]

No difference if we talk SEO (IMO)

I see many people telling there is no difference.
So doesn't google privilege the .com over the others?

[Agent 488]

google prefers .info .biz

Who knows? but a TLD is a TLD so it shouldn't. Though most say go for .com if you can. I have .org that performs fine in terms of SE traffic.

[cooldude7]

depends on ur traffic strategies.,
if u gonna do seo then any tld is same.,
u can rank .info with dashed domain also.
but for making brand .com is must,

u will be surprised to c how many people type, domain.com in google search.

Probably just seems that way because out of the three, drastically more people have .com. .com is also likely to have 'better', more updated content (that people want to read). Ie. .nets are likely to be used less as websites and more as network related stuff.

You more rarely see .info or .biz or other low-rent crap, because they're only ever used by spammers and scammers or people with junk content, and thankfully Google tries its best not to highlight that.

Of course, on country specific Googles, you get quite a lot of country specific TLDs.

[michael.kickass]

.net

[icymelon]

for seo net and org are the same. some of the other ones such as info dont seem to work very well

[seeandsee]

get infos there because SEO experts says so

[just a punk]

.net of course

[bloggerz]

Both the same

[J. Falcon]

We like .pro

[DBS.US]

Tip of the day: Only invest your time and money in a .com

[LiveDose]

Neither.

.org is technically reserved for non-profits and if you are using a .org in a "for profit" manner, ICAAN can and will take you down if they get complaints.

.nets are fine but .infos are less expensive by a long shot.

If you are doing proper SEO for your site and DRIVING traffic to it, the extension matters like fuck all not.

If you are sucking the dick of The Great God Google, then go with .coms.

The original intent of the .org TLD was for use by non-profits, charities, etc but has essentnially been unrestricted in its use. I have heard of several getting pulled due to being used for commercial for-profit businesses but that may have been due the close similarity to other legtimate non-profit's .orgs.

The public perception is that .orgs are genearlly non-profit, charities or educationl, so commercial use of a .org might create and unwanted inmage the the eyes of the surfers.

Anyone can register an org second-level domain. Although org was recommended for non-commercial entities, there are no restrictions to registration.
