asked on

.com vs .ca

Hi all,

Does the ending of a url (.com,.ca,.org) matter at all to search engines?  Do they favour one over the other at all.

Thanx,
Lorne

Think it only matters to the country

.com - usa
.co.uk - uk
.de - germany
.au - australia

But i have a .com ranking well in google uk

It is said that .org , .edu are given higher priority.

But again , as Mark said :"whatever domain name you select, it all boils down not on what type of suffix you select, but on the popularity of your site which is a result from your excellent content and how SEO friendly your web pages are.  "

it basicly does not matter. IF you have a good site then it will get a search engine ranking to match
Lorne,
Search engines don't descriminate, but people do.  If you want to compete with websites in the United States, use .com
