Question Extensions Ranking

I always thought the ranking (most value) of domain extensions went like this:

.com
.net
.info
.biz
.org
.co.uk ...etc

Am I right, or am I wrong

Yes IMO .co.uk is higher up than .biz and probably higher than .info

I think it depends on the location of yr market and what your after. if its a uk market and your looking for direct type ins then .co.uk comes after .com for me.

Just to add to that, I see no value in

.info
.biz
.org

I cant even think of any large sites that use .info or .biz and I would only associate .org with organisations like w3.org mozilla.org redcross.org. So of no commercial value.

.co.uk would come second for me,

.com
.co.uk
.net

Those are the three I aim for when brand building. If it's keywords you're after then I suppose going all the way down to biz is fine it's a great keyword.

personally i dont look further than
.com
.co.uk
(.com is truely the only global extension)
.net - probably but sounds like a ISP
.biz - a business
.org - charity
.info - .......

i think basically the worlds not interested in what everone is doing. more interesting is whats happening locally - i think theres a lot of value in the local domain extensions - language is still a barrier

Nope worthless compared to its equivalents.

Sex on a commercial aspect would not work on that domain. sex.info would be more appropriate for an agony aunt or family planning clinic.

But why.. no one types .info
