I also have a naive question, does a .com really have "additional credibility" over something else? Why? How about independent of what other websites are doing?

- snprbob86 18y agoI assume there is some credibility to it. More importantly, it is the default extension tried/searched by browsers when the user doesn't specify a TLD.
- froo 18y agoIts more due to the brand association people have with the .com domain. When you're telling friends about sites "I found this great site, its called facebook" - for those people not in the know, the natural thing people do is to use the .com extension. It's also why the .com domains command a higher premium on the domain name aftermarket.
