Eact Match Domain .ORG vs .COM

My website is currently on a .org exact match domain with unique content and is on page one of Goggle spot 5. I've invested in 2 link packages for the current site.

The .com version is now available for $280.

Do you think it would helpful if I purchase the .com, transfer the site over and do 301 redirect or should I just leave it as is?

  • If the .com is worth $280, then sure. If you're willing to pay $280 for just the domain, don't bother - unless you're a branded business like Amazon where your customers will be returning regularly.
  • Yes if the EMD/keyword term is valuable. It's good to lock it up so that your competition don't **** with you in the future.

    Ive done this before. You might lose rankings inititally but they will come back. Also .com prob has more EMD value than a .org. I can't proove this. I just get the feeling that it is from experience really

    • Another common myth. .net ranks as well as .com, so does .org

  • It just makes no sense, since Google doesn't really involves EMD, so if you want to buy it for a 280 $, it is a waste of money. Before it was possible to outrank some authority site for a certain keyword with an EMD. You then would just put a little content on it, build up a few backlinks and you was able to outrank almost anyone, if that anyone doesn't have an EMD. But this doesn't work anymore.

    • What if he has a legit site and the keyword is worth something? if hes making a few hundred a month from the site its a no brainer.

      Just because you were throwing up shithole 1page sites on an emd and ranking before and cant now, it doesnt mean him buying a domain name for $280 is bad.

      Do i know its a good or bad decision? no i dont. I dont know the keyword or value of the domain.

      You are just ill informed though.
