Ask HN: For SEO Does it Matter if the Domain is .net or .org Instead of .com?

• samsheen 13y ago
  No. From my experience it does not matter between these three. Previously a lot of people thought that .info domains had been penalized by google as they were abused (cheap domains to buy) but there was no substantial data to backup the claim.

  for a startup, i would not even be worrying about this. i rank them like this- 1. .com 2. .org 3. .net in the end, if you're launching and MVP don't worry about this too much.

  For SEO 95% of what matters is lots of quality content and backlinks from respected domains. If you have those, it doesn't mater what your TLD is. It may make a difference when people type in your domain because a lot of people automatically type .com (Android for example as a .com button when entering URLs, but no .net or .org).
