Which domain is better?

by Dmo

So basically I am going to promote offers in a specific niche I thought of targeted at france.

I can either buy a .com of the domain name or a .fr of the domain name.

Both domains are available, which one should I get?

Keep in mind I am only targeting france.

So, .fr or .com?

And when you answer please give a reason why if you can.

    I would suggest getting a .com. I am not sure how much you would benefit from a .fr comparatively.

      Thanks for the response!

      If anyone else could please give me some information on this as soon as possible that would be nice!

      I am going to be starting a french niche and I have no clue what domain to get!

      .com without thinking, stronger domain also for ranking.

        So would it just be a better idea to use a .com and just have the whole website in french?

        Already very useful words and true ..My point is that the domain will not increase or decrease your profits do not care about domain often the most important thing that works to get visitors interested and then profits will come much regardless of the domain .

    .fr is cool and all, but .com's will always trump any other TLD's. What you can do is purchase both, and set up a redirect.

    i think is better to buy both,
    use .fr to get better rank on search engines in France and keep .com for your brand, because as you know when any website is successful people copy the name or buy the same name in other domain registrations like .com .co.uk etc

      Do you 301 redirect this .fr to .com? or how to use it to rank better on existing website if i have .com domain with website and want to get a local one to rank my website better in the local searches?

    I'd just stick with the .com personally
