Google hates .info and .tv names? true or not?

Google does not give preference to any domain. .infos can rank just as high as .coms.

 

definatly not true

I as able to get index on google using a free subdomain!

 

I say 100% true, I got proof, I had a website(got) watchinplainsight.info ranked real high on first page for the main keywords in the url, then someone bought the domain. They instantly got #1

 

Why would Google hate certain domain extension? The wouldn't be a very constructive way of doing business... if Google hates something then it's SPAM.

 

Sorry, but you are incorrect. Yeah, maybe Google did "slap" some .infos BUT it was not because they were .infos - that has nothing to do with it at all. It is about the content, backlinks and similar factors, NOT the tld.

I personally own several .infos none of which are spam

I have seen many many .com, .net, and even .org domains that were pure spam and crap.

When will people realize that the important things are quality content and relevant backlinks?

I admit that I prefer .coms because they are easier to remember and the general public is more familiar with them. Yes, there are advantages to a .com, but how the search engines "view" your site is NOT one of them

You are absolutely correct

 

I think .com is preferred by most people, not only google. plus .info and .tv only parking page, not an active business.

 

with enough back links anything can rank i even have some subdomains that do awsume only because of good back linking

Enter spain in google it has a PR7 and is number 2 after wikipedia

 

Google dislike new $1 .info and for old one, no problem

 

I also have a sample, search South Africa in google

 

It is true that Google may favor older .infos to newer ones, but the same is true for any other tld

They certainly don't care what the cost of the reg fee is, so that is irrelevant

 

Absolutely not true, tld has nothing to do with the rankings.... check out spain.info for example or austria.info.
I do own few .info domains myself and they are doing very good, just like the .com and .eu.

 

No you are wrong ,I have seen many sites ranking well in Google with .info domains..

 

I think extensions do not matters when it comes to ranking.

 

This is correct you can even have a blog on blogger or wordpress but if you have backlinks you will rule in everything.

 

why do the top level tld's almost always appear first in search engine results?

 

Google does not hate, they're all about love

Anyway, no, I don't think the have a bias for any given TLD, it's all a link/neighberhood question.

 

I have this anime site http://www.animetube.tv which went from PR0 to PR4 in 3 months so I think Google loves it.

 

Just so you know, .tv is not media related.
.tv is for the country of Tuvalu, which has found a lot of profit in leasing it's domains to television stations.

If Google doesn't like .tv, it's because you're not using google.tv, since you're in America

 

Listen to what he says.
