Is there any value for .info backlinks?

hi,

Some .info domain sites asking for a link exchange, most of them have PR 0 and some have PR 3, i dont mind to exchanging links with PR 0 sites, because that sites have some good contents....is there any value for a backlink from .info sites in google, i am confused with it...please help

why would it be different than a .com? if it has pr there is value

 

the domain extension doesn't really relate. A link is a link, if there isn't any extra tags on the link like nofollow, then google will still read it as a link.

 

oh ok, i thought .info dont have any value, because it was selling for less price, so i thought there is less value also in google algorithms

 

All have the same value.

Although there was a rumour going around the SEO circle years ago about .edu .gov and .mil naturally having more authority based on extension only, but it got shown to be untrue after testing.

 

hmm, can you provide more documentation on this testing?

Others here agree on this?

 

A link is a link.
It has nothing to do with the extension of the domain.

 

yes, even if its in blogspot if it got good content = good value.

 

Well, a PR0 have value too, especially is the website owner is building links for his site and the content is good and related..

 

Yes, i have to agree. TLD doesn't matter. A link is a link.

 

It was on Seochat forums in 03-04 so finding it may be quite difficult as i obviously don't remember the thread title after so long.

It involved registering some virgin .coms and applying different backlinks from .gov and .edu domains as well as .coms, also making virgin .gov and .edu PR0 pages and providing a backlink to the fresh .coms

Basically the result showed there was no noticable difference in SERP or PR between the .gov and .edu and .mil domains compared to a .com .net or .org

The illusion really comes from these .gov etc domains naturally being an authority site, so they hold more weight because of the website itself and not because of domain extension.

 

Link is a link domain extension doesnt matter in it... if content is good and site is related to yours than it can be done without pr or with pr...

 

It doesn't matter. You should be worried if you get a big number of (not so related) links from a local country domain because Google might boost you in local Google and you'll decrease in google.com.
For example if most of your links come from .de (German) domains you might experience a decrease in google.com and boost in google.de

 

As what has been mentioned by the above posters, a relevant and quality link is what we need. Domain extension will not matter

 

domain extension has nothing to do with link value at all..

 

I think .info domains Google consider as Spammy. because, If you see online spammer sites most of the domains in .info

Cheers,

 

If your .info website is good, Google will rank it good.
P.S. Why you replied in 4 years old thread?

 

Content is good,web is good ,so link is value！

 

A link is a link, no matter of their extensions or they are nofollow/dofollow. The only matter is their rank.

Darn, don't see the post date!

 

They all have same value.. content should be good and it has value...
