Building on NON .com's
 

Is it worth building blogs on non .coms? Or is it better to get a .com that's not an exact match?

Example:

clownporn.org

or

clownpornsex.com

The second would be better, 'cause it could rank for both 'clown porn' and 'clown porn sex'. :Graucho

i have quite few successful blogs on .net and .org even in .info it all depends what are u targeting if you are making brand. for example check failblog dot org..

get both, and add a few more in there and trade links with yourself instead of some of the dead beats you usually trade with

:thumbsup

also, don't ask for SEO advise .............. nobody has any unless you're talking to the grand poobah of the algorithm over there at google.

Good point!
I checked it out. Site is pretty sweet. Do you own that network? If so = Amazing!
Wow, didn't even think of that. Would have to be on separate ip's tho right?

good luck with your adventures :thumbsup

I give some good hints once in a while... :upsidedow
My neighbor works for G and I got some great info from him, but he moved about a year ago :(

no shit ? my pappy was lon chaney's plumber. congratulations on all your success

get both. (eggs... baskets...)

lol. He would just come up to me in my yard from his and talk about the updates that they were working on and about the 140-something criteria that they ranked with at the time.. All I was trying to do was blow things up in my yard and he kept bothering me with nerd shit.. :upsidedow

fuckin nerds

Call it what you want...but it's a good chance that nerd is making 6 figs and pulling in MUCH MUCH more than I do in total income just with day job alone.

Bottom line: Nerd Shit=$$$

Nerds making fun of nerds.. :upsidedow

dot.net's kick ass because everyone here hates them and refuses to use them.

.com is great for dictionary words, exact phrases and type-ins, because people tend to be most familiar with .com in USA (different in other countries of course). For SEO it does not matter at all (unless you can get your hands on .gov or .edu domains. Those are given better ranks)

Actually that is no longer true. It was true for a long time, but once they got spammed to death Google removed the extra weight they used to get.

.net and .org for exact matches to get more bang for your buck (i.e. 5k+ phrases vs. 500+ in .com for the same cost) and .com's for more serious presences or for general SEO or hitting up higher search terms over time (better to do with an aged domain).

Saying this less on my experience and more on what I see from those who buy domains from us, adult or mainstream.

If I find a key term that I love and the .com is taken (and just parked) then I'll grab the .net or .org. If the .com is being used and already built upon, then I usually move on and try to grab something else. You just have to build sites that your visitors will love.

I also have a few .info domains that I registered and used to build mini sites. They have surprisingly done pretty well SE wise.

.net seem to work fine, I see no problem with using them but obviously more people will remember .com

What a bunch of bullshit in this thread, lol!
