.info affected

.info domains were being experimented with to test for their relevance to spam. Heres the article: http://www.seobook.com/google-temporarily-purges-info-domain-names

 

Interesting read.

Thanks.

 

I think it's easier for .info domains to trip an alarm than other domain extensions.

 

I think it is not the only extension, it is only happen that more .info sites have more hits. There are still .info sites that already established good reputation and are not affected. Here's one: css3.info

 

it just a pretty short time, i do not think google will punish all .info.

 

Its about SPAM.. Not the .info domains.
Besides, theres no official statement from Google about this.

 

Thanks for the info thought

 

I think it is Using of Spam content, not for .info domains.

 

I think it is not affected .info sites.

 

If google sees a pattern they will adjust there algorithm to combat the spam.

Theres no proof that they would put .info domains at a disadvantage because of the domain extension, but for georgraphic searches the domain name will be less relevant to a country code specific domain.

 

Thanks for this one..

I just thought of buying a bunch of .info domain names

 

i do not think google will punish all .info.
