".com is the best for exposure on Search Engines but what they don't realise is that because of this EXACT reason is that Google puts .com to the top" This is wrong. Domain extensions do not have an effect on how your site ranks The .COM extension is considered a "global" domain thus when ranking in search engines (without telling them who your website is targeting via Webmaster Tools) it will naturally rank higher on a general basis. For instance if you have a .ly (or any other country specific) domain extension without setting your global settings, search engines such as Google and Bing will consider that website to be useful to people in Libya (yes they do consider language too). Likewise the .ly will struggle to rank (compared to the global .com) as it is considered to be a Libyan domain unless you tell the search engines otherwise.
