In my opinion there is no difference among the TLDs concerning search engine rankings.

Default Re: .biz is it as good for ranking as .com?

I've been wondering the same thing. There is a domain name I want where .com is not available (although not being used currently) but .biz is. If there is some more value to the .com I would bid on it, but if .biz is just as good I will simply register that one. Any thoughts?

I don't want to talk you into registering the biz domain, but i would do so. Try to find a memorable keyword rich domain and the tld won't hinder at all.

Well it is still a TLD so I would presume so. If your site is a business website then I would say go for a .biz extension but this is entirely your choice. As long as you do good SEO (i.e. backlinks, good content, META tags, etc.) you will probably get a very good ranking in search engines.

I would like the domain name with .biz extension. It looks to me more professional. But its expensive.

Hi there,

TLD doesn't affect ranking in any way!

tld's will not effect any rankings..choose the right domain name that best describes your site, rich content, regular updates and link building are some ways to rank your site...

It does not affect. I've gotten a .com.sg website to No.1 position for some of my clients before.

If you can get a good .biz domain don't pass on it.
