			<title>There is something in a domain name extension</title>

			<description><![CDATA[I'd like to add a comment to what has been written: ".com and the country code of the country you live in might not have an advantage in Google's rankings, but they do in people's minds.". I am in Canada (.ca for those who are not as culturally sensitive as they should be - :P). In general the preference appears to be to have a ".com" extension before a ".ca". People usually try for both. We don't look at the .com as being "an American" extension. Rather we see it as being the most recognizable and usable extension. I agree that the crawlers at Google et al are not sensitive to extension names. But people readily add ".com" to the end of a URL when they are typing it. At least this holds true in North America. All the better reason to get a ".com" along with the extension to the country(ies) to where you are doing business. The price of entry is really not that high.]]></description>
