This is an age old bias that has been gradually changing. When there were fewer top level domains around, people assumed that if you have a website it would be on a .com name. They used to type the .com in the browser first and if not found use search engines to locate the website.

You will be surprised that Internet users are lot smarter now and realize that there are many top level domains like .net, .org, .in. You should choose a top level domain that is synonymous with your brand and what you offer, while paying attention to optimizing it for search engines and submitting your site to search engines, local directories.

The observation about the miniscule difference in value from different domain extensions is correct. Something in OP does sound like this is not the case tho - if a .COM is getting a lot of traffic and the same .NET is bringing none, than the domain extension is not really your issue at all. I would look deeper at the analytics you have at your disposal, see what recommendations you get and what are you doing wrong. Maybe your content is thin or spammy. Maybe your links are toxic and irrelevant. Maybe you are not incorporating social media efforts at all. Or Google is not properly indexing you. There are a thousand reasons really. So don't worry about your name, see what you might have done wrong beside that.

Cos Facebook, twitter, Google, Youtube use .COM
Unless they switch to other extension which is imposible, .COM always rule.

Are we talking about parked domains? The .com will always get more traffic (type-ins) unless another extension was formerly a live site with links and traffic.
