I didn't do extensive search, but i never see a .info/.biz domain set on the top of serps.

Look up MTA.INFO

As far as SEO and ranking ability is concerned there is now difference. Lot of people might say that some domain extension rank better then others but if you really think about it then it does not make sense at all, people just say it so they do not have to feel bad about their lack of SEO knowledge. From my personal experience I can say that .info does not need any more SEO work than any other extension. If there is not difference for me then I can not think of any reason there should be any difference for anybody else.

When choosing a domain extension then only thing you should consider is that it would be appropriate for your site. For example, for eCommerce site I would go with .com for informational website .info and so on but nowadays even that does not matter that much any more.

How many .info's do you have ranking on the first page for any keyword with even a small amount of competition? What about the top 3 spots on page 1?

none? yeah.. that's what I thought.

.com, .org, and .net are the only ones you want to use if you want real rankings. You may be able to rank a .info or a .biz for a low competition keyword, and you can use those domains for branding yourself or your website, but you will not be a serious competitor with these types of domains in any niche with competition.

A few years back there was a brief period where google 'accidently' DE-INDEXED ALL .INFO DOMAINS.

ALL of them. Gone. Not a trace... Of course Google fixed this shortly after, but do you think this would ever happen to all of the .com domains? I don't.

I am so surprised that some people think that rankings has something to do with domain extension. If you want to believe that then that is fine with me and that is probably true for you than anyway. My experience is different so it does not apply to me. It is the same that some people think or have been told that they can not make money online and they think that is true so they don’t even bother to try.

You don't see as many .info because there are less. Period.
Has nothing to do with anything else. I don't see any zebras
in my backyard. I guess there aren't any.

.info ranks as well as anything. Period. It's what you do to the
site that matters.

How about prchecker.info? They own the niche. Do a search
for pagerank, pagerank checker, etc. and see what pops up.

Just because you do searches and see none, has no effect on the
rest of the world doing real searches.

Since prchecker.info owns the niche for a google product, and
google ranks them highest, what does that tell you about the
effect of .infos? Sure google hates them. Suuuuure.

I wish this myth would die.

Alright, let's kill the myth!

Everyone switch to .info's!!

That should leave plenty of rankable .com's for people like me who believe in fairy tales.

Nobody don't need to switch to anything else, that is the all point. If you have good quality site that provides value for the people then you eventually do well. Sites rank not the domain extensions.

Well, what can I say, I can not argue with your extensive research and testing. So as your research have clearly demonstrated that only .com ranks the best so anybody who has .org or .net or .info or .biz need to really work lot more on their SEO to get results or only use .com

And now if I really think about it, why would Google want to treat all the domain extensions equally that would be just crazy thing to do.

No problem with miss spellings did not even noticed. I would just like you to give me a reason why you think that Google ranks .com the best and then .net and .org bit less and so on. Can you tell me way they do that as I am struggling to come up with any logical reason why they would do that.

Ok, if Google says that it is in they algorithm then we could have avoided all that arguing if you would have said it at the beginning. Just to prove that you are not making it up could you give me the link where Google says that it is in their algorithm.

So you are saying that the way Google determines the trustworthiness of the website is by it is domain extension. And why is .org less trustworthy than .com? What about .co that is quite new and clean extension, should be quite trust worthy that should rank the best now.

It's the same as i know but i think the only different that you barely see .info (.biz is never. i don't know why) on top off google is simply they like .com and .net better. But I know a lot of .info domain name out kick all the good .com .net domain on some niche. Just build your SEO strong and you have no worry if it's .info or .com

I have the same opinion. These extensions can outrank other websites too but it needs more work than optimizing a .com domain. But theres not any proven reason for preventing from buying these extensions.

Although it currently and even more so in the past, seems like .coms are best, followed by .org and then .net, it will be increasingly less and less significant as google advances its algorithms.

It's true that it makes no real sense why a .com should rank higher than a .info if the content is quality and it has great seo both onsite and off, but it was definitely the case in the past, and still appears to be a factor even today to many people who do SEO.

Meh. Just make your site as good as possible. That's how ya win.

Yes Evren, this information you have provided has really helped to support the overwhelming proof already provided by northseo.

So to conclude, stay away form .net .org .biz and .info as they are not trusted that much by Google.

Complete nonsense. Makes you wonder why someone has SEO in their username.

If you can't even spell the word, what do you really know about extensions?

Come on people, get a grip on reality. How much of this myth are you going

From my experience the domain extension does make a difference when one is looking for ranking power from an EMD.

.info isn't as powerful as .com/net/org and the .info's that do rank well are either targeting a low competitive keyword or they have a sick amount of links pointing to them.
