    Hi Steve. Well you see pretty much everybody here makes a living out of the online marketing business, and since it's a business you want it to look professional, you want to make everything in your power to build this trust atmosphere and every little thing helps.

    The .com, .net and the .org are the most accepted TLD ( Top Level Domains ) by the surfers of the web.

    But the TLD is not all that matters, also always try to keep the domain name short, direct and professional.

    Just imagine you search for a review on a product or service you just found. Wich would you click/like/trust?

    product-review-right-here.co.cz

    or just

    theproductreview.com

      theproductreview.com
      Whilst this is good general advice, I would chip in and say that product-review-right-here.co.cz is going to carry far more weight than theproductreview.com if the product is relevant to the .co.cz market/country.

      So although .com is always top priority country specific domains will always have their place.
