.Info or .Com On Google? Which Is Better...

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by activebiz, May 29, 2008.

    Alright well I have been researching a few diet supplements online and have found a great product keyword for a .info that only includes the word itself and no others. Now I am asking will it take longer for Google to rank a .info than a .com in the search engines?

    This is a great keyword and hope to get a bit of traffic. Would traffic increase or decrease of a .info giving information on the item?

    I don't think there will be a difference in search engine rankings weather it is a .info or a .com

    If you think is a great domain, go and purchase it. Develop something and try.
    But IMO the .com domains are much better than .info

    Yeah only difference is that humans usually type .com first. Alot of people dont know nothing about .info .us or even .net or .org's. The .com's are the main domain for human related marketing. Search engines dont care about that much. And be sure to make it max 3 words long. Longer than that it gets crappy.

    I don't think I am going to try to develop it into something that big. Maybe just a few reviews, description of supplement, and an affiliate in which a person could order it and I could make commision

    I'm starting to agree. Type in 'pr check' or 'pr checker' into google and look at your first result. (Granted, there are only 400000+ results...but, still) It all goes back to quality content, backlinks, google friendly pages, etc.

    True I used nothing but .info's while creating my watch type sites and they where cheap and reliable but seemed like since more people registered .info's for those type of sites the less I showed up in Google.

    There's absolutely no difference with any of the domain tld's ranking in search engines, but the most preferable among all is .com

    As long as it's a good site with backlinks, it will be ranked just fine.

    It's just that most people get .com for quality long-term sites, while most people using .info are for proxy networks and blackhat stuff. That's why you usually see .com in the results.

    .infos rank just as well as .coms, Google doesn't show favor to .coms. Search spain in google and you will see "spain.info" in the top 2 results.

    Always try .com first, .net second and .info third.

    Once your site is not spammy and has good quality content it should rank the as a .com.

    As far as search engines go it makes no difference. The only time it does is when people search for site they usualy search for .com site name

    People tend to link to .coms more than .infos, thus creating better backlinks and better SERPs from my experience. In reality, there is no difference, so if you can develop a great site with an awesome keyword.info, go ahead. I personally will go with .com over .info, but I own tons of .infos as well since they are good keywords.

    Doesn't matter IMO, Because I'd some sites which was making good income via AdSense and getting decent traffic as well and some are .info's and .org's. So yea, If you think domain is good, Go ahead and register it :)
