be sure to use a long tail keyword if you are a small site just getting started.

Don't forget country tld's like .co.uk if your marketing in these countries they are also fine.

Sounds a bit like your thinking of running multiple domains, the normal advice is that you should stick with 1.

IMHO, .com is much better for the fact that is looked on as more desirable than .net (human perception).

However, is the .com favored more by the algorithm anymore? The juries out on that one...

I haven't seen many new .net sites. The .com sites are the most sought after and usually have more authority. I read an article that said .org site are being indexed well lately.

Also, be sure to use a long tail keyword if you are a small site just getting started.
