hi all, i bought 5 .org domains and currently trying to seo it and trying hard to make it appear first page in SERP for the keywords. In my case, the keyword is the domain name. with no extra character or "-" etc.

I found out, its harder to rank a .org, than rank a .com.
i know because i have 10 .com running, and they ranked fast...compare to these .org

Is this a fact??

Google doesn't rank any TLDs better than others. All extensions are equal.

If you have seen .com rank better and faster it's a coincidence and the cause is other factors.

Exactly. The only connection between TLDs and Google SERPs is that country-based TLDs are one of the two ways to determine inclusion in regional SERPs (e.g. .ca domains appear for "Pages from Canada" on Google.ca).

No, it's a myth. TLD are specially useful while geo-targeting. For normal domains, .com and .org will have the same ranking preference from Google.

Your .com sites are ranking better and faster in the SERP because of other factors. TLD is definitely not the issue.

i agree, is not the .org or .com is how you optimize the site. make more effort for the .org then sooner later it will have a good outcome

Their is no need to make more effort at all, the domain itself does not affect ranking at all.
