Register your domain name

jj1 · 12-01-2010, 02:31:30 PM

the .co.uk domain name I want has gone. For a UK company looking to sell to Uk customers, which is the next best bet for SEO purposes:

keyword.info
keyword.org
keyword.org.uk

Are any of these as good as a .co.uk for seo puropses??

Would appreciate any feedback before contacting customer.

org.uk by far, plenty of well ranked org.uk's around.

bensd · 12-01-2010, 02:43:04 PM

I would go for the .org.uk

boxerdog · 12-01-2010, 03:06:46 PM

Have you ever seen a .info in UK SERPs for a UK centric search? I haven't.

I guess that's why no-one likes them.

go for .org.uk but you also want .org to redirect to .org.uk forget about .info

Yes but SEO is just part of the story.

Ranking highly in the search engines is one thing, but getting customers to click through is another. In my opinion, something like eCoffee.co.uk for a coffee retailer site is better than coffee.org.uk , even for the UK market. I would say, from a SEO point of view go for the .org.uk - but interms of building a business, a short brandable memorable .com or .co.uk should not be ruled out.
