domain names? .com Vs .net ??
Just curious as to what the vast experience of GFY thought about the difference in getting a domain name thats a ".com" or a ".net" ??
Are people less likely to try a ".net" name as a type - in ??? Thanks.. I. |

so if you were registering a new domain and you got the ".com" version, would you bother getting the ".net" version as well??

depends for what?
if you plan on growing a big site (big paysite, big tgp) then yes, but for a simple blog or just for spamming the SE's, it may not be necessary

.com beats .net hands down.
With that said, there have been some successful .nets and also the other top level domains like de.lici.us (sp?) have been creatively using the rest pretty effectively.

For the most part, people just mentally default to .com, so if you're in the widget biz and your competitor has widget.com, anything you do with widget.net will only generate accidental traffic for the .com site.
I've found myself mistyping some of our own .net sites, so we have made it policy to only register .com unless there was some extroardinarilly compelling reason to have the name regardless of the TLD. |

yep .com beats .net for type ins for sure, but if your making a blog or something for SE's I don't think it really matters. If your going for type ins though you would want to stick with .com for sure.
