French expression needs .com or .fr?

[Bizname]

Hi!

First of all, I want to say that forum is really nice for a newbie like me, thanks to the community to share all these info!

I have still one question in mind, I found an expression related to travel available with .fr and .com. There is about 135K monthly searchs on Google (same amount for France and Worldwide)

However, as this expression is only in french, I'm wondering which dots are more valuable, which one do you suggest?



Thanks

Take .fr if you target the french market, and .com for worldwide. But the best idea is to take them both.

Both are popular in France but .fr has been gaining ground over the last few years.
I hope you're not going to register just based on those metrics (assuming they are accurate).

Thanks for the advice.

Actually, even if I read some good stuff in the forum, it's always quite hard for me to appraisal correctly a domain name.

If I'm not able to build something with a specific domain name, do you think it's worth to just park it or it's definitely not a good idea?

If I understand it correctly, travel/insurance/financial/health... may works with parking or I'm totally wrong with it?

In my experience, if you find a domain with .com, .net, (or in your case .fr) extensions, it is a signal that the domain may be not too good.

To check the exact searches you must use Google Keyword tools in [exact]

In relation to parking, if the domain do not have type inn potential or its former site (if in case) do not have quality backlinks, do not worth to park it. Who will visit a domain lost in the cyberspace?

You're totally right. I didn't use [exact], it changes everything :O

Thank you for the advice - as you can see I'm a big noob. I didn't think about it.

It makes sense. So generally, it's better to do something such as a landing page or basic website with adsense?

A basic website with adsense, without true content it's like a parking site. If you want to monetize it using adsense, it's a hard work to create original content, updating it and try to achieve good position at Google. And finally, income depends on the interest of the product or service related to your domain and its CPC.

Makes sense again.
Thanks!

There is a way to calculate a domain CPC?

- thanks for your time, I'm learning :loveyou: -

You can calculate the CPC of the keyword related to the domain. Again, you must use Google keyword tool.

Also, .fir would cost around 8 times higher than .com, you also have to consider pricing.

Actually, .fr is cheaper than .com on 1&1. (1€ less)

You must know a part of people in Canada and Africa speak french aslo so take the .com.

if your target is french then you use .com domain
