Keywords - Does it matter if I use mykeyword.com or mykeyword.net ?

[Endeveren]

I have a question about keywords. We all know that the domain name you use is huge for your keyword ranking. For example, if you want to tackle the keyword "boobs", having the word "boobs" within your domain name, is huge. So, what if "boobsandboobs.com" is taken? Would "boobsandboobs.net" be just as effective?

Thanks!

domain extension doesn't matter as long as it is a top level domain, not a subdomain..

I agree, some people say that .net's or .info's don't rank well, but I've seen plenty of them high in the serp's. The only thing you have to worry about is people's trust. People are more likely to click on a .com site then a .net. But besides that, go for it my friend, and let us know how it worked out.

Hi,

It is like there will not be any kind of problem in choosing domains with keywords which we have to target by using .net, .org, or .edu as, all it requires is having located servers located at the place and also it requires good SEO for it to make it more beneficial for proper ranking.


Also, there is some sort of preference which has been given to .com first and then to other domain names.


Thanks!!

I would only tend to think that it's natural for people to type in .com rather than anything else. Just my 2 cents.

the search engines treat .com .net .org the same as far as I understand
