This means that your site will not appear on the tenth page of the search results, because nobody bothers to read even the second page.\u00a0 A company that targets the Kenyan market will thus benefit more by having a .co.ke domain compared to a .com domain, since Kenyans are more likely to find it when they search on Google (SEO advantage).<\/p>\n<p>A .co.ke is better than a .com domain because identifies you as a Kenyan site. Give your site the unique Kenyan identity by registering a .co.ke domain, and see your customers grow. The good thing is that if you already have a .com, .net or .org domain, you can replace with a .ke domain, and still have the old domain directing to the same website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why .co.ke is better than .com A look at the top Google searches in Kenya reveals that many people prefer to search for a web page, than to enter the page url on the browser.
