We all know .com is preferable to .net but how much so remains an arguing point. I think as a minimum baseline, .com holds at least a 75/25 edge over .net. After that, we can work our way down. In fact, some domainers think .net is worth 10% of a .com as a general rule of thumb. This is an extreme for the negative so you’re probably safe in thinking that for pure domain purposes, a .net holds between 10 to 25% of a .com’s value.
In practical function, .net performs better than stereotypes would have you believe. Quite simply, many people can remember a .net and .net websites have proven that they can be branded into a marketable property with or without the .com’s help. Obviously it would be beneficial to hold both extensions under your domain keywords, but several large online websites have done well soley under .net. Additionally, if you are buying for pure SEO purposes, .net works beautifully and allows your website to work under the same broad scale as a .com (while other extensions like .org and .mobi don’t.)
.Com domains will always be king but if the keywords are desirable enough and the price tag on the .com is out of your budget, there is no shame in taking a .net, especially because of the rapid registering of domain names.
If you are considering whether or not a .com is worth it, there are several key factors to consider. First, are you registering just the keyword? If so, then a .net is probably ok, but if you’re adding a prefix like my or the to a double keyword base, you’re stretching it. Next, is the .com developed? If the .com is developed, you may want to consider another domain but if it is parked, this is point in favor of .net as you might get some unsatisfied trickle down type-in. Third, how competitive is the niche? If you’re dropping down from a .com in a lightly competitive niche, it becomes less likely you would want to build a serious website on the .net. Last, how does the domain sound? This test is always a good tie breaker in your decision.

It is not true that all of the good domain names are taken. You may still be able to register your name, your business name, or another catchy URL.
Here are some tips for choosing a domain name:
Keep it short and simple. Long URLs are hard to remember, and people are more likely to make errors when keying them in.
Include keywords in your domain name. Search engines may reward you with better placement in search results when the keywords are in your URL.
Whenever possible, go for the .com. Many people automatically assume that Web site URLs end in .com, and they do not correctly remember other extensions, such as .net or .info.
Try to avoid abbreviations and special characters in your domain name. gdbizcents.com would be very hard to give out without spelling it, and people won’t intuitively remember or guess it.
Don’t choose a name that will be easily confused with other domains. For example, if you want to register domainname.com and find it’s taken, domain-name.com is probably not a good choice. People will confuse the two sites.
Your own name could be a good domain name, if it doesn’t lend itself to lots of odd spellings. Between Cathy and Kathy, and all the ways people find to misspell Stucker, I figured no one would ever find me. That’s why I came up with IdeaLady.com.
And when putting your domain name in writing: If it is multiple words, especially if it’s long, consider capitalizing, such as I did here with IdeaLady.com. Make it easy to read and understand.

A sure Strategy in Making Money with domain
If you are picking domain names that you want to monetize by parking or selling, one sure strategy is to pick a domain that is typo-generic in quality. Better stated, one sure way of doing this is to register a domain name that has a “type in traffic” quality. Your ability to research a domain name that has a typo-generic quality before registering will give you immediate traffic which invariably converts into cash when you park it with parking sites for pay per click cash or for sale.
A typo traffic domain is a domain that visitors will type straight on the address bar of an internet browser instead of searching for the domain or its associated key words on search engines. For example, a domain such as beautytips.com can be typed on the address bar instead of being searched for on Google search engine as it is a typo-generic domain.
A type in “traffic domain” will surely convert into cash easily because it attracts high rate of conversion since prospective visitors already have in mind what they want when they visit the internet and so they they type the domain name on the address bar.
The established fact is that domain parking companies pay more on type in traffic as this is natural traffic than referred traffic. Also, some parking companies do not allow referred traffic and so registering type-in traffic will give you a sure way to earn from such parking companies.
In the same vein, prospective buyers of domain takes keen interest in acquiring typo-generic domain names since they are very particular in buying domains for the purpose of immediate traffic too.
Therefore, you will do well in researching different niche and registering generic domains in each niche as this will surely yield income for you fast.
