What TLD should I use

Post by sevvlor »

Hay,

I have a question, I have two different domain names, one is a .net and the other one is a .co.uk.
I was wondering which one of those would rank better in the search engines, I don't want to change because of the .net being older and fully indexed into Google and I am afraid that the change will ruin my status.

though the co.uk looks better.... Please help me out here.

Edit:

I can notify the change though Google's Webmaster tools and use a 301 redirect.
Maybe I'll start redirecting the news messages to the new domain and gradually redirect everything.

Regards,

Sevv

Google doesn't rank differently based on TLD's.
The best approach would be to think about what's more memorable.

I would recommend .net because it's shorter, and doesn't make the website seem like it's built for people in the UK (unless that's what you want).
