Promotion in the bourgeoisie of the .ru domain

Question

Marketing

There is a site where I sell my application. Decided to further develop in the bourgeoisie.
Do I need to change the domain name from .ru to .com, or is it not important?

Answer 1

Change is not necessary.
Having an alias in com, which will be the main one for the bourgeoisie, is a must.
For promotion, it doesn’t matter, but the perception of the inhabitants ...
“what is the ru? do you mean site.ru.com or siteru.com? ru it's something related to russian hackers? is it free? don't you have money for good domain zone? it have to be some scum, i heard russian site scum! ” - and this is only part of the questions that people who hear about your domain will ask. Do you need it?
Bourgeoisnet = *.com must have, to avoid.

Answer 2

Rather, it's a question of prestige - "dot-com" is "dot-com".
And from a technical point of view - there is no difference. And the search engines will understand the content anyway. Well, accordingly, a visitor to the ru domain will always be able to understand where the roots go.
In general, if we are talking about profit, then the content of both domains is a penny.

Answer 3

why not use .ru/language/?

Answer 4

It does not matter if the site has that foreign language in the region of use of which you will promote the site. Google will understand.

Answer 5

It is not entirely correct what is written above. If by promotion you mean SEO for specific countries, then first of all, search engines will pay attention to the IP address, to which country it belongs.
For example, you plan to sell to England, you have a domain in the .co.uk zone, but the IP address is American. Competitors have a domain in the .com zone, but the IP address is English. Here the competitors will have a slight advantage.

Answer 6

If we are talking about this site elfchat.ru , why not register elfchat.net - the domain is free and the zone is international, similar to .com ;-)
