    Talking .Com Or .By

    I am planning to buy new domain.
    The problem is that this site will work for Belarusian people and Belarusian Google is Google.com.by.
    So, should I buy by or com domain?
    Or may be there is not sense in choosing between them?
    By domains are 5 times more expensive than com, but there tones of good free name.
    Your ideas?

    .tld makes not much difference when it comes to rankings. I think .com should be good enough and you also save a lot of money rather than going for the .by domain name.

    If you can get a desirable name in .com go for it. If not you might want to go with the .by name if it really is going to be for your region only and the people there actually use it.

    personally I would go for .com if possible.

    Good Luck!

    save your money and get the .com if you can. If you are targeting the Belarusian people hosting the site on an IP in Belarus should help you more with search engine ranking there than what tld you choose.

    I've heard that google trusts more to .com domains than other. So advise you to buy .com

    Which country do you want to target? .By websites will perform better in Google.com.by but if you also want to target other countries choose the .com

    I think the domain suffix would not have a lot impacts on SEO purpose, backlinks do. Of course, .com is suitable and well accepted for a business online.

    Well in fact it does. A website about my local city in the .be (my country tld) will perform a lot better than the .com. Ofcourse I want to get as much traffic as I can from Belgian people so the .be will do a lot better in Google.be than .com. Ofcourse it will perform worse in Google.Com, but why would I want a Dutch site to be good for English people?

    That's like the same situation the OP has.. so..
