If I optimize .biz this is there a good chance of it ranking as well as .com

[Andrew Thomas]

I registered a .biz a while ago, but havent done anything with it. the actual name (without the biz) has a lot of potential.

If i optimize this is there a good chance of it ranking well, or do .com's .co.uk etc take procedence? How ever well optimized the .biz is.

its a one word url eg name.biz

thanks

IŽd say content comes into play mostly.

However, the chances are that the one word .com, .net, .org, etc are in highly competitive markets, so for SEO purposes it probably wont be much different from other domain names.

However a one word domain name would hold significant branding advantages (easier to remember).
