Do Dot Com Domains Have Higher SEO Value?

[Jasmine]

Dot com domains are the most popular and also the most trusted domain extension available on the internet. Interestingly, browsers are designed to take dot com domain by default (you can access website using dot com domain just by hitting return key, there is no need to type website dot com)

Do dot com domains have higher SEO value?

Position on SERP (Search Engine Ranking Page) does not depend on the domain extension a website uses. Dot xyz domain can rank higher than dot com provided dot xyz website has better content and SEO compared to dot com website. Actually, the SEO value of domain depends on the keywords used.

Therefore, domain extension does not matter when it comes to SEO. You can use any domain extension you want.

I believe all domain extensions have the same possibility of become a high value domain. It all depends on you the owner of the domain. There are several dotcom domains that can not even stand beside some country specific domains and they are not even ranking higher than them. So SEO doesn't have anything to do with your domain extension.

No, dot com domain name extension do not have higher search engine optimisation value than any other extension except when it has lots of strong backlinks pointing to it. A domain name or a website we have higher search engine optimisation value and authority when it is able to attract backlinks from other domain name of higher authority to. Valuable content brings about powerful links.

They are all the same value for SEO purposes, however the perceived value is higher than all other TLDs.

Do com domains are the safest domains you can buy, first of all, everyone knows about it, secondly, it is cheap. However, dot com domains are so overused that it is impossible to get the perfect domain for dot com. Just by having certain extension, SEO value of your domain does not rise.

Guest posting is one of the simple ways to attract strong back into your website. There are some people who are also using scholarship campaign to win links from universities.
