Some people in the past said shorter TLDs ranked better in terms of SEO, but that doesn’t seem to be true either.
- Yolta 6y agoTLDs do still matter. Part of the indieweb movement is focused around not relying on search engines. The TLD is half of your domain so some consideration is needed. Personally, I could have gotten yarmo.nl, given that I'm Dutch. I chose yarmo.eu because I'm fairly certain my future is not in the Netherlands, but elsewhere in the EU. I also wouldn't want a TLD that support Britain's continuing colonial rule and defense of acts against human rights. I'm not saying all should boycott .io, just the (open source) developers who wish their products (and domains) to reflect their core principles.
- Ayesh 6y agoYes. In most of the services I have one, organic users are converted to free customers, and _then_ turn into paying customers. You need a memorable and easy to type domain for that.
- dingaling 6y ago> do TLDs really matter? When you have to enunciate them down a phone line or in person then yes, they do. Especially when they're not .com or .co.uk Several times I've responded to someone's request for my email address with "I'll send you a WhatsApp to click " instead of trying to spell it out.
- fomine3 6y agoI heard that using irrevalent ccTLD is harmful for SEO but I don't know is it really.
