.CO vs .Com SEO? - Site Owners Forums

jamesranatte · 06-06-2012, 11:15 AM

Hello friends I need to know that Does Google differentiate between the domain TLDs .com and .co? Out of these two domain TLDs .com and .co which is more effective for SEO?

Unless you are targeting a specific geographical location, you should not be too concerned with the extension. TLD's are all treated equally by search engines. It�s just that .coms are easier to remember and it�s a general tendency among surfers to end a domain in .com...

�At least you have an ability within Google Webmaster Tools to say that ok, for my .co, this is actually about this country or that country...Even though it�s a country specific domain, you may do geo-targeting�
This is what Matt Cutts has to say on whether .co is treated as a generic TLD or not...

Google consider all the domain same, in SEO also do not have any difference... but .com is the best bcz its universal and domain name with ctrl+enter key will open the site....

In Google point of view all the domains are equal. Just you have to follow proper SEO techniques like White Hat Techniques.
