Are .com domain names better for SEO than other domain extensions?
No TLD is inherently more SEO-friendly than others. You can create a new website and make it rank high even by using a domain alternative to .com, like the .net domain or .xyz domain.
Many people think .com is better for search engines because .com websites often dominate search results. In reality, what Google prefers is well-known brands with solid industry authority, and many of these entities just happen to use .com domains.
Why is .com the most popular domain extension?
.com is still the most desired domain name simply because it's one of the oldest on the market.
Unlike other original TLDs like .net or .org, .com has a commercial purpose. As a result, many users who buy and sell online also become more familiar with .com domains than other TLDs.
