View Full Version : which to choose as main ?
The Mage 04-04-2008, 05:05 PM I want to begin a Teen Forum project, and I have purchased a few domains, (more or less the same) :
theteencentre.org
theteencentre.com
and , theteencenter.netWhich one do you think would be the most benefitial-SEO friendly to use as my main one ? (the rest will be redirected)
on google , center gets more results than centre , but I do happen to have centre.com one , which might get more attention...hmmm....
BroNzY 04-04-2008, 09:36 PM Hello,
I think theteencentre.com will be great :D
Thanks,
The Mage 04-05-2008, 11:21 AM thanks a lot :)

.com for sure
toria 04-05-2008, 05:27 PM I agree. The .COM is much preferred over the others. It is the default fill-in on most browsers.
Best,
Toria
SEO-wise. It make no difference. But for type-ins best to use the .com and redirect the other domains to the .com
CArmstrong 04-05-2008, 09:14 PM I agree with everyone else. One thing to consider, though: will your target demographic be spelling the name as "center" or "centre"? Are you targeting teens worldwide or those that are local to you? If you tell an American verbally to go to The Teen Center, I'm going to type in center. An English or Canadian (or Australian, etc.) person would type in centre.
If most of your visitors will use the same spelling, then you're fine.

what do you think is for the best about that ?
btw, thanks everyone for your replies :)
I am in the same dilemma as you.
I own *centre.com and *center.net, no clue which one to use :D
If it helps I will most likely go with .com because .com > center most likely.
The Mage 04-06-2008, 05:19 PM ok thanks :)
marcbarak 04-06-2008, 06:25 PM com is the choice but I would think about the common misspelling issues
ElTino 04-07-2008, 10:41 AM Let me answer the question of the OP by posting the domain order by popularity:
.com
.net
.org
.info
.biz
.us (country domain extensions)
No doubt about it, the dot com is the winner!
netomatic 04-07-2008, 11:08 AM My personal preference would be .com, .net, .biz, .info, .org in that order.
I always prefer .biz over .info & .org, except for non-profit organisations.
