Assume that you're web surfer who don't know much about internet but have heard many times about "dot com, dot com, blah blah" and you heard one domain, "rent" for an example (most classic study case) most people assume that rent is "rent.com" more than "rent.net" (or even "rent.anything") and some people they type .com for an extension when they remember site name but do not remember site name extension. Because most of people assume to ".com" more than ".anything". This is about people assume and recognize. seems hard to change it.

How very true, that is why I try to stay away from country extension such as .co.uk, people sometime accidentally type .com, and then that other site gets your traffic. :sad:

Kieran Taylor.

Default Re: .com vs. .info
by the way who wanted to start a biz whith a dot info domain... rediculuse the TLD are for thier own porposes ... I think that there is no diffrence between dot com or .info for google ...

dot com for commirical uses and info is better known for information provider websites ... that's that simple ...

I think that the .com popularity and .com typo problems will soon be in the past. It's true that people type .com by nature, but with the amount of .com names left, there will come a point when you will see sites like MySpace that use .info or .co.uk TLD's. I give it 5 years and people will become accustomed to typing different TLD's. IMO.

I will probably have to agree with you there! People are using th domain TLD's for the wrong purposes now, people are using .com for the sake of it when they should be using another extension.

.com = commercial
.info = information
.net = network

...but people tend to use .com instead, soon people will use another TLD to replace the .com extension.
