does it matter when google calculates rankings if the domain is a .net or a .com ? It seems to me that .net never rank as high as .com . Is this because of the way good does its rankings or just the fact that most popular sites are .com'

i am thinking of buying a couple of domains and don't know if i should get the .net (which is availiable) or go after the .com for more money

I don't think the extension really matters to the search engines. You normally see dot coms do the best because they're the most marketable and easy to remember.

I don't belive the extension of the domain has any mather to your rankings in the search engines. Both .com, .net and .org are threated the same way.

thanks for clearing that up!
