Is Domain Extension has any effect on ranking of website?

Hello optimizers I need to know that Is Domain Extension ( .com, .net, .org, .in ) has any effect on ranking of website on search engine?

[James Andrew]

Well, its depend on your need, if you want to target UK market then you should buy .co.uk domain or if your business provide services to all over the world then .com is best extension.

There are many top level domain names available today including .com, .net, .org, and .biz. In most cases, the more unusual the top level domain, the more available domain names are available. However, the .com top level domain is far and away the most commonly used domain on the internet, driven by the fact that it was the first domain extension put to use commercially and has received incredible media attention. If you cannot lay your hands on a .com domain name, look for a .net domain name, which is the second most commercially popular domain name extension.

yes I agreed with James Andrew, if you want to improve your ranking on particular search engine exp:- india, canada then you have to buy particular extension, if you want to improve your ranking globally then .com is better. exp:- IXPHOSTING.COM extension for globally

I would just suggest to choose globally domain extension since wherever you may be you want your domain to spread away all around the world!

No, the main factor is the meta tags you use in your site.

If you want your domain to be used international level then go for .com, it has great value in it. If you want to go for any country specified domain, then go for cctld. Its the best option it will rank more in the search engine.

It just depend on the requirement of your business. if your business is only for just some particular origin like uk or us or Australia you can buy .us, .com.au and all that.

Yes, it has an effect specially on local search engines.
