What percentage of traffic com vs net?

[notlikeyou]

Anyone know of a site/resource that would have (current) data about what percentage of internet traffic is lost to the .com when a business uses the .net for their website?

And any other metrics when attempting to compare the amount of use between a .com & .net (of the same domain).

Example:

mysupercoolwebsite.com (owned by some domainer) :D

mysupercoolwebsite.net (used for a company's business)

Pretty much, what I'm looking for is just data that could give a approximation of users tendency to type in .com over .net.

Here's a com vs net data point. Matching nnnn com & net parked on the same nameservers. No search juice or inbound links. Com direct traffic is 7X the net.

Unsure of %'s, but I would generally always advise that one secure the .COM before embarking on any expensive or expansive development and promotional plans for their similarly named .NET, IMHO. It can be done successfully, but I would figure any loss of traffic (to the .COM) as an unnecessary business expense / loss of income! :tri:

Just my two thoughts,

I would think that it comes down to your marketing techniques. Anyone can generate just as much traffic from a dot net as a dot com. If you have a great marketing plan then you are going to bring quality views to your website.
