Printing.us vs. Printing.com

[Blastoff]

I launched a (dot)US website that has a very generic domain name. There is already a (dot) com with the same name selling the same service. For augments sake, let’s say the domain names are Printing.us and Printing.com. We both provide the same service, printing, but the websites look nothing alike.

Printing.com is registered, operated and hosted in a Europe by a European company, their pricing is even in Euros. Printing.com business model is to service the world printing needs.

Printing.us is registered, owned, operated in the United States. Our model is only to service the US market.

Would Google and Yahoo’s see this as a conflict, and in someway affect the organic search results for Printing.us?

Puzzled,
Blastoff

Side note: Live.com has us ranked #2 for results, but we are almost no where to be found on Yahoo and Google.

I don't think there will be any conflict.

Only the factor of keyword in domain name itself is clashing.

For Live it is faster on indexing and gives good ranking even to new sites and focuses more on the title itself.

Nick, thank you, for your feedback. When you say, "Only the factor of keyword in domain name itself is clashing," what exactly does this mean? Are the organic search engines saying we have a problem and we are going to drop one of these domains off the radar?

If you have "printing" keyword in domain name itself and if the site if for printing services or products then the keyword in URL helps it.

In this case both listings have the keyword in URL so it is the one that is clashing. So just forget it and it will be all right.

Nick:

I'm sorry, but I'm still a bit confused. Is the clash of the keyword (printing) what's causing the .us to not show up on Yahoo and Google search results?

 

[Keral_Patel]

No

Just forget it. I mentioned only that the factor of keyword in the URL itself is clashing as you asked : "Would Google and Yahoo’s see this as a conflict, and in someway affect the organic search results for Printing.us?"

Thanks.

There is nothing that can stop your site from getting indexed or ranked where it should.

Just focus at building more quality backlinks - Google favors offpage optimization.
