Is ( .com) is better than ( .info) for SEO?

Site is having ( .info) do i need to get new ( .com) domain?

 

I am not a fan of .info, for me its .com .net .org (in that order)

Most importantly is choosing your right domain name. For example my new site, I wanted to be found on the key words better sounds. There was no .com or .net but fortuantly there was a bettersounds.org

If they had neither, personally I would of choose a different key word but thats just my formula. Be sure to have the right domain name as that is by far the most important.

 

for seo process , i think u dont need to worry about .com or .info, u have to choose correct keyword and title .and submit them to directories and articles and blogs and forums etc..

 

Google doesn't treat .com and .info differently in their ranking algorithm. Both are treated the same.

HOWEVER, people tend to view .com domains as MUCH more legitimate than .info domains. For this reason, if you manage to get a .info to rank, it will have a much lower click-thru-rate by users than an equivalent .com domain... Also, because other webmasters also view .com sites as more legitimate than .info, a .com site will have a much higher chance of attracting natural links from other web sites than a .info site does.

I would rather have a less than optimal .com domain name than a great .info domain name any day.

 

for seo process , if you will buy .com or .info. does not matter at all. For seo puproses you need to take care other parts like ,the quality of your text , the keywords and etc .

 

.com or .info does not effects the results it depands on a SEO expert tp rank it high.

 

i see everyone is saying it doesnot matter whether it is .com, .org or .net. But then, why most people buy .com?

 

"Com" is much better.

 

Most people buy dot coms because most people buy dot coms.
It is the standard, if you will.

But google does not care about extensions.

Remember that SEO is what you do to a website, not a domain.

My biggest example on this is the biggest site for checking the PR
of your site. Do a google search for PR pagerank checker or some
combination and a dot info rules. And when I say rules, google loves
that dot info. And if google loves a dot info for a page on a google
product, what does that tell you about dot info?

People feel dot coms are better because they sound better.
I can't argue with that. A dot com rolls off the tongue and sounds
natural. It probably looks better in print as well. But both of
those examples are feelings.

And "feelings" are not SEO.

I'm not at all convinced by the people who state that one TLD is the same as the other. We know for a fact that Google will, for example, rank .co.uk domains prominently in the UK but not in the USA. With this in mind, there's nothing to stop them having something in place which gives less value to .info. Considering the price of .info's being significantly lower and that they are commonly associated with sites deemed some what spammy because of this (lower barrier to entry - you can buy 3x more .info domains than you could .com)... I feel that Google could quite feasibly give less value to .info in SERP results.

 

many .info sites were penalized by google because they were used as link farms in the past.You will hardly find a .info site ranking highly on google.

 

ya .com is much beeter than info.

 

There is a little thing in the part of Google's algorithm, that lists domains with the same tld like the google.tld, puts websites higher.

So what I mean is, a .be website will easily perform higher in Google.Be over Google.Com. It's the same with the .com tld. But it's just one little part of their big algorithm

If you can go, go for .com, .net or .org -- but if none of that is available, go for .info. You can get these for bargain prices at Godaddy anyways

 

I think its better buy com. More people trust com. than info
