Domain Name Extension Question - PR

Hey,

Does anyone have any insight as to what domain name extensions rank better and, or if there is any difference between a .com and .info?

.com's are king and most memorable but in terms of ranking for keywords have you noticed or experienced a difference in search results?

I see mixed feelings about .info. A lot of people recommend .info because its an international extension, cheap, and not saturated like .com's. but I see just as many people recommend against .info because they claim its associated with spam and a tarnished extension, perhaps penalized by Google, etc.

Would love to hear your opinion and your experience?

Thanks.

  • I wonder if a lot of this changed with Panda last year.

    Google changed its emphasis drastically - which meant my .nl extensions are getting better results than before (internationally). My feeling is that quality content is king.

    What do others think?
  • .com is always better an .info.

    .info still has the look of a spammy domains. It is also much easier to brand with a .com because that is the default extension most regular folks have in their mind when searching for a company.

  • As far as rankings go, there is no difference between a .com and a .info. The quality of your content and the quality of your backlinks will determine rankings. A .com can have a higher perceived 'authority' as far as visitors go, but it does depend on your niche and monetization methods.
