Far be it for me to disagree with better minds than mine.

But in days gone by there was software that showed the order of the search process. The order of search was (stress on "was" here) .com > .net > .org > .co.uk, if many thousands of results were collated then other countries domains were disregarded as too many results to display. Hence the reluctance to buy into .sp, .gr .fr .ca etc.

This caused the popular belief that .com was king.

Not so these days so they say.

However you still do not get the lesser known countries domains displayed very often. If you are selling spanish villas how many .sp results would returned for the search term Spanish + villas + sale?. Err....................none! However I cannot answer (don't speak spanish) if you search for the same search terms in spanish. However, how many spanish people are looking to buy spanish holiday villas? The question you have to ask is where is your target market?

Just for the record .com still floats my boat every time!
