Search engines and their users in Britain prefer co.uk, in Germany they like their .de and in France they love their .fr. For those who don’t know where they stand, a good old .com seems to do the trick.
Spreadshirt grew up under a .net and have therefore found themselves stranded in a strange land without, well, any.. land. This has got its positives, but also its negatives. The ease at which your shops and products are found within searches (for example using Google) is limited by your potential customer’s location. To try and shift the balance, we will be changing our top level domain and the link structure for the products from .net to .co.uk during the coming time. To make sure there are no casualties as we make this change, we’ve put together the following handy bits of information:
1. You can fix your country setting within your log in area. Your shop will then be reached via (for example) spreadshirt.co.uk and will be automatically optimised for the needs of search engines.
2. Old links will remain valid and visitors will be automatically forwarded to the new address.
Further information regarding this topic (e.g. why the whole change is worth it, and other mad ideas that we have planned) can be found in the Spreadshirt Forum.
