simple question: do you think a .info domain will do just as well as a .com domain for a dieting site? Im asking because the domains i want are already taken.
.com always does better than anything else , specially for people to remember, yes for seo it doesnt make a differnence. i wonder why do you ask if the domains you want have already been taken
yep thats correct so basically i have the choice of altering my keyphrase to get.com or using my exact keyphrase and going with .info for my domain name
Every time the .com is taken, I go for the .net .info is left as my next alternative, unless my name matches perfectly with the extension, as in example obtain.info or something like that
thanks for the help guys- actually ive tried all combos of adding dashes ect to try and get a .com but no luck. .info would sound good for my domain but i may check .net first
Since I write content sites I figured .info was a good choice when the .com was not available. I think it's fine from an SEO standpoint, but lately the discounted pricing structure of the .info's means that every spam site in the world is going onto cheap .infos. I think that's a large potential problem.
To me, .INFO is just fine for informational websites, if .COM is unavailable. And I'll probably leave .NET away for that purpose.
Get away from that crap , it's just some bullshit Verisign and ICANN created to make more money (even though it makes much more money for us too).
To me, .INFO looks fantastic in the address bar so I don't really care much if they introduced it to make more money which they obviously have (business is business, after all). Try to compare it with the .MOBI stuff and you'll see what is the real BS here The .INFO alternative has saved us (me, for instance) big times while most of the quality .COM names are gone.
.com is always better, but since it is a diet informational website, .info will be fine. Don't worry about the extension. Think about the conntent...
