RE: FN-FORUM International Domain's

date posted 7th September 2002 23:20

On Google it will make no difference, however if I were promoting generally
I would choose a .au domain to get into the Aussie engines. In general I
would look to my target audience to give me the indication of whic to go
with. If you promote to the Australian only udience the .au will be much
more effective, if you are looking to target a wider audience the .com is
the way to go.

All the best
Ian

Thanks Ian, another one for you :) if you were to promote a site that
provides services in Australia, would it make any difference on google's
results if it were a .au or ,com extension?

So for example, if they searched for melbourne florists, would a .au get
priority over a .com, this is what I'm trying to find out although it
doesn't seem to make a difference with some but it does with others..

Best Regards
D Thomas

I'm not sure exactly what is required, I just know that you can get a .au by
getting a registrar to act as an agent for you. The cost is about £120 + £80
for the domain.

I also read that you have to have a business registered in Australia with
the name you're planning on for your domain name. Is this true?
