    I agree. SEO first and .info or .com after...
    I completely disagree. Backlinks do nothing for rank in G...And not even for PR. One billions PR0 backlinks will give you a very nice PR0. One PR7 will give at least a PR5, if not a PR6

    Backlinks are good in a way for getting more visitors.

    Mmm...interesting...How many time do you check, let's say, directories to find your nearest pet shop?

    I don't look for pet shops in directories but if I'm looking to find something that is not "local" I have been known to search through a directory for it. Especially if I can't get it locally.

    We have a winner.
    It is very rare to find somebody who search on directories instead of Google or Yahoo...

    Chapeau bas...

    But sometimes we do use local directories which show more targeted results. Like in UK, yell.com .

    "The" won't hinder you a bit. I've currently got one up for sale that should bring in about $200 when sold. (PR1) It's very much a growing niche, and I get a lot of visitors and make a fair amount of money with it.

    Also, I've sold hyphenated domains for some pretty good change in the past. The first one I sold went for $900.

    Just make sure it makes sense.

    theman.com seems even better than man.com:) I impresse that people like more joint words than '-' separating words in the domains if that was the question, with or without '-'!?

    I personally like them.
    I recently reg TheLosingWeight.info
    I think the .info is good with it and make more sense than a .com

    Doesn't matter if it flows correctly.

    TheKingofBarbecue.com (mine) is a PR-1. Should bring me about $200-$500.

    I also sold a hyphenated domain a couple of years a go for $900. It had a PR-3.

    If it flows good, if you've got the traffic, let 'er rip. :D

    So you are doing well with "the " or hyphenated domains.
