I know people like .com .net and .org because it "looks better" but as far as ranking in the search engines goes, does the extension really make a difference? I would rather use .info because I plan on making quite a few sites so I want to keep the cost low at first but if it will have a negative impact on my rankings I won't do it. What do you all think?
you have .com .net .info and .org it not effect on ranking but if you have good content, good linking, all factor are SEO friendly so its not depend on which domain get good ranking and traffic it will be depend on your optimization
You can still outrank other extensions with a .info However you will have a slight advantage if you use the other ones. How many .infos do you see ranking on page 1 for competitive keywords?
I have seen .info sites ranking high on SERP or rather having massive traffic. However I feel there is something negative about these .info extensions. Otherwise why should the domain registrars bother to give away the domains for something less than a dollar or so.
I know you don't see .info ranked highly often but I just figured it was because nobody really bothers with them because they like the other extensions. I'm not sure why they are cheaper or anything. The only reason I ever heard of people liking .com, .net, or .org is because they "look more professional". As far as SEO goes, I don't know if any extension is better than the other for getting ranked.
Well, it's depend on your site niche, if you are going to create informative site where user can get free information regarding their niche then .info domain is good. but if you are creating business related site and target all over the world then .com is best one you can also take .net but if you are targeting particular country then you should book your domain with that stat extension like for UK mysite.co.uk for india mysite.co.in for Australia mysite.com.au etc. it will help to get fast ranking in SERPS.
