INFO domains and SEO

Is it true that .info domains don't get indexed well by search engines?

 

who said that? I don't think so...

 

No it's not true.

 

They are indexed normally as the other domain extension and ranked extremely well :

You don't get much better evidence then that

 

OK, thank you guys for your replies. I read it somewhere, but just needed to confirm if it is true or not. I have an idea for a new niche and .info domain would suit it well, as it will be an informative site.

 

Big Foolishness !
Since .info domains costs only 88c and most of them own it for temporary sites !

 

Let the myths continue

 

That doesn't matter. SEs can reference the whois data for any domain to see short-term registrations

 

By short-term registrations do you mean 1-year registrations? I always register my domains for 1 year only and I'll renew only if they're successful.

 

As do I, but it's better not to

 

SEO wise .info is as good as .com. Thats a fact.

 

my domain is about to expire, 1 month left, I plan to renew it tomorrow, do u think that could have something to do with pr drop?

 

Do we as webmasters consent to the perception that cheaper domains=Less Quality?

Also, .info domains tend to be the focus of those looking to make MFA sites and cheap proxies.

SEO = same as ever
Image among those in the SEO industry = Doubtful

 

Hmmm, if this is true, then why do I make $750 a month from my legitimate .info site with over 3000 uniques a day? http://downloads.littlbuger.info

It doesn't matter if what is the extension name of your site. Your site can be indexed by search engine if your site was easily find by search engine spider. Forum posting is the best way to get indexed quickly by search engine.

 

No, nothing.

 

ok thx, and what kind of influence does expiry date or time has to do with SERP?

 

Nopes ! Thats not true

 

I think that having a domain thats registered for a long times goes a little towards domain trust.....

While doing some recent email marketing I realized that registering my domain name for a longer period stop a large portion of my emails from being labeled spam....I am assuming that Google follows this to an extent...
