discuss Difference between .com and .xyz

[hareemadil100]

Can any one tell me about main difference between .com and .xyz regarding marketing or SEO ?

 

[HotKey]

Lol, so we've established that .com is more popular.

The difference between .xyz and .com, is that the .xyz buyers don't give a shit.

 

[RobM]

I block .xyz from my servers. Since they more or less gave them away all I've ever seen coming from this extension is spam. Never a single legitimate email.

Also xyz looks unprofessional. That's it's biggest down side imho.

People say that it's looks generic, I don't think so, I think it looks like a kids' extension.

Yes that is why we call Topic in a Forum and not Comic, because we are serious guys.

Every topic includes top, even if it is about com / xyz.

The international markets (including Spain) are using .xyz domains.

Check yourself: https://gen.xyz/live

4 websites in Spain. It's on over there.

Spain and Latin America are very poorly represented as are many other countries, only 1 site in all of Central America. And most of the sites are in English. Most sites are in US, Canada, Australia, UK. What is surprising is that only 1 site in South Africa and a number of sites in China. Clearly .xyz does not have any relevant penetration into international markets.

A new difference between .com and .xyz is that today I registered .com domain names but .xyz domain names.

Having invested in both….trying to be fair…..xyz is very cheap to register but sale-through rate is much lower than .com…..

Once again, first, the website does not showcase all .xyz websites. Can you find block.xyz, spiral.xyz and many other developed .xyz domains that were reportedly sold on the website? No.

Second, my intention was to show the global presence of .xyz. .Com is more poorly represented in some countries, such as some European countries where ccTLDs are more commonly used, than in the USA. All domain extensions have such penetration issues.

One quick answer com - xyz = .UJM
Or
0317994.xyz
0012325.com

Difference be 0305669
But youll get multiple answers depending on who you ask

From my just said experience, if you sell products, for old people, go for .com.
If products for young people, I see any extension would do, .co, .io, even .club, .me, etc.
For SEO, no different, for me.
If you ask to sell the domains, then do both haha.
Just my 2cent.

Since I got so many downvotes for this I think I need to explain this a bit further, so this goes to all who downvoted my (above quoted) post (I absolutely respect your up - / down - votes, thank you for your feedback).

It is a FACT that (the word) "topic" always includes (the word) "top", even it is a topic about the difference between ".com" / ".xyz" and this can't be changed by (any amount of) downvotes.

Domain industry writer @James Iles even puts an extra "top" before "topic" in his weekly series "top topics", so he is publishing at least 2 "top" every week (about 8 top / month and about 100 top / year) and this no matter the content of his sum up and even if he won't include this thread in his series (which I assume as it probably includes too many "top" in his view as I believe), he will share 2 "top" at least but since this thread is about the difference between ".com" and ".xyz" maybe I am wrong in my assumption and he will decide to share it (we will see) as it is the most popular thread of this week.

The Topic is to compare .com and .xyz but you keep SPAMMING and PROMOTING your stupid .top everywhere. Shame on you!!!
Are you that desperate to sell your DEAD top names?

I was wrong in my assumption that he won't share it (although I was right in my assumption that I am wrong in my mentioned assumption lol), he included it:

Cool down, (especially because) you are a "PRO" (at least according to your badge), then I would suggest to go and inform yourself what "spam" really is before using that word again.

Nowhere in this thread I did post anything about the TLD .top (except now, as a response, after you started to post about it), you are the one who seem desperate here, post your silly pictures somewhere else but not in this thread.

Shame on you as a "PRO" who obviously posts before reading exactly what I wrote - simply read again what I wrote exactly, then feel free to start posting about the difference between ".com" and ".xyz" instead of writing irrational offtopic nonsense.

There are many differences between .xyz and .com for both general marketing and S.E.O. as a subset of digital marketing. Although I will pre-qualify my list below with content is king so any domain name extension ( unless totally unrelated or irrelevant ) is far less important than what's hosted on it. That said, here's my response:

• .com is internationally known while .xyz is not well known outside the domaining community - that's just a simple fact of life and cannot be reasonably argued
• Customers are far more likely to click a .com than a .xyz ( both listings being equal ) because .com is more well known than .xyz
• .com looks far more professional as an e-mail address than .xyz
• .com gives the impression of brand ownership while .xyz does not
• Trading off an .xyz suggests you couldn't afford the .com
• Google's algorithm is far more likely to consider a .com website as American based than .xyz even if .com is used all over the world
• .com is far less confusing to customers than .xyz
