(Page 1 of 3 )
Most new websites tend to look for a domain name with a .com or .net tld (Top Level Domain).They feel this gives the site a more professional appearance and will appeal to a more international audience and in many cases this is true. However, it can also be beneficial to look at purchasing a domain name with a country specific tld.
There are a number of benefits that can be gained from choosing a domain name with a country specific tld, especially if you conduct your business primarily in one particular country.
Search Engine Benefits
Most of the large search engines will give you a higher search ranking for a site that has the tld of the searchers country. For example, if someone from the United Kingdom is performing a search for widgets, a search engine will often rank widgets.co.uk higher than other sites selling the same product but only have a .com tld.
Having a country specific tld will also allow you to be included in a lot of great country directories that stipulate that your domain name has a certain tld.
