Hi guys,

Just wondering if you can help me out with a domain name question, I currently own 2 domain names exactly the same except one ends with .com the other with .com.au

As I want to target the Australian market from a search engine point of view would I be better off going with the .com.au domain or does it make no difference at all?

Thanks for the help
Adam
 


Is it a commercial/business site? Or just a personal AM site?

It's better from a business perspective to have the .com.au, but in terms of the search engine I'm not sure. You could always have the .com.au as your primary site and have a simple php redirect to the .com.au site from the .com site. Then you'll have the best of both worlds.
 
It's a niche site with some affiliate links that are aimed at the Aussie market. Any particular reason to host on an Australian server rather then else where?

Thanks for the replies
Adam
