discuss Where .com is Not King

[ixex]

Where in the world is .com not king?

Where that other extensions are more popular, accepted, etc.?

Any other heavy rival extensions in the world regions, demographics, other than ccltds?

I think in Italy and Turkey .net is comparable to .com but I'm not sure.

In UK, if people don't prefer .com, then they should drop .co in their .co.uk, but they don't. It is like Germans preferring .co.de to .de. Very strange.

In Russia, I suspect .biz and .pro are more popular compared to other countries.

Can .biz replace .com after corona?

Don't know where but for me .com is not king.

Here is the last 28 days performance of my autopilot website which I build on .pw domain. Yeah you read it clearly. It's a .PW domain beating many of its .com competitors in Google search.

Ps:- I am domainer too, so I always tell my customer .com is king

LOL Wow!

the OP said excluding ccTLDs and the thread turned to be exclusively about ccTLDs discussion lol

If we exclude ccTLDs then .com will almost always be king except in some few situations like:

• .org for non-profit & NGOs is much better than .com
• .edu for educational institutions
• .gov for governmental institutions
• clever domain hacks like these ending with ly
• url shortners

Thanks, but thats ok..it never came to me, the extent of detail of education and information about ccTLDs would come out of this for these types of domain extensions rivaling (versus) the .com LOL

Also thanks for your list. This list references USA activity more specifically correct?

So @koolishman stated earlier in the thread that .com ranks top at about 40% globally, so from the heavy discussion regarding rival ccTLDs. ccTLDs cover around 50% if not more, as top extensions at the global level, minus the U.S.

From what I am also understanding is that .com rules in the USA. But outside of the U.S., its status can scale down quickly depending on any specific world region.

Thank you

This BS extension didn’t increase your traffic. I’m sure there are plenty of people on warrior forum who can beat many coms on whatever extension you give them.
