Question on TLD domains

[GFPC]

So i looked for a new domain I like and found one.

What is better in terms of gaining more position or strength from the search engines?

.ca
.net
.info

The words i want are sort of mixed in some ways - so i can get the domain in diff forms depending on the tld....

Just curious more or less if .nets are better then .cas

And if i do choose .ca - will that hurt for international traffic - but give me better Canadian Traffic.

Cheers

I would say .net by a mile. I haven't tried ranking .ca and .info domains but as far as TLD's go Ive always tried to get the .com. If that's taken, go for .net and then .org

Yeah definitely the .net. Although it depends if your just targeting canadians. The .net would be easier to sell on if u ever decide to do so aswell. Not sure if there's any restrictions for .ca's. Can anyone register them or just residents? If the .com isn't developed give the owner an email and see if they'll let it go. Would be better if it's a long term project.

Yeah thanks guys... I suppose i could take both but i am more inclined to take the .net at this point. Mind you it could be good to target Canadians as well... and I agree if at a later time i could sell .net easier.

Only Canadians can own .ca as far as i know.

I did look into the owners of the dot com and they want a huge amount of money for it and have had it for years. Just parked.

Guess i will go with the .net - and maybe just take the .ca anyways..

Add them to my collection

cheers

You should not have any problem with .ca or .net. Some people do exceptionally well with .info. Other people have complained about having problems getting .info domains to rank well. There could be any number of possible reasons for failed rankings that have nothing to do with top-level domain names.
