    Wink Location/City names .INFO vs .NET .ORG .US

    Lets say I have a location names like

    Newyork.info
    Newyork.org
    Newyork.net
    Newyork.us

    If one of them is 100% of the value, what will be the value of other extensions? I hear drom many people that .info is much stronger for locations
    than .net, what do you think?

    Newyork.info 100%
    Newyork.us 80% (if location is in America, obviously)
    Newyork.org 75%
    Newyork.net 30% (.net sucks for location type sites/domains)

    Thanks Rob for your input, I was surprised how low .net valued by you.
    Never knew that .net sucks for location names

    Re: Location/City names .info VS .net VS .org

    I agree, .net doesn't go that well with location/city names as compared to .info, .net is best suited for commercial and networking related sites. Even .org doesn't match that well for a city name unless ofcourse it's for an organisation based in that particular city.

    Re: Location/City names .info VS .net VS .org

    With your example newyork I would rank as follows.

    newyork.us
    newyork.org
    newyork.info
    newyork.net

    First two ranked by traffic, the last two by developed value. I always rank traffic against the so called "ideal extensions" better because natural type in traffic always means success and growth with a developed product.

    No question in my view that newyork.org is far and away the best.

    Re: Location/City names .info VS .net VS .org

    1 .info
    2 .net (quite same as .info)

    I dont even want mention .org.... not worth anything....
    according to the population of .net, I still give it a better rank.
