.info with google

have the chance to buy a hug .info domain, just wondering if google frowns on this extention at all. thanks

 

.info's are fine, the only disadvantage seems to be that google is less forgiving when it comes to blackhat techniques on .info domains, they seem to get banned faster...not really a surprise, since they are the #1 choice of spammers, blackhats & co. because they are so cheap.

 

No its fine with google.

 

Grab it for sure. With the sale of Travel.info for $116K, what's there to think about?

 

thanks for the feedback...

 

I don't think their's any problem with .info domains, at least never heard of any. If you have a good deal go for it.....

 

I have a .info that got PR3 in a single PR update. Even with many outgoing links to directories. So .info is fine.

 

I would go for .com if it is available for your name. .info not that appealing, imo.

 

.info domains are always the first choice for spammers, because they're cheap.
I receive lot's of spam from .info domains.

I actually believe that google gives less importance to .info domains.
Have you ever saw one in a top 10 for a common search?

 

That is because .info are newer. I have .infos and .coms with the same names and they behave similarly in google rankings.

 

yes I did. I have a .info domain and when I bought it, I was thinking that .info domains are for informative websites like tutorials, articles, news and so on.

If I don't have anything commercial on a website why to bother to buy a .com domain?

Maybe G have some also to check a .info domain, but if you have a few quality bl's and good content everything is ok.

 

I have 2 .info domains and they are blazing the SERPs for their words.

Indeed - I have been thinking that G just favors them. They also received quite high PR with first update.

Only problem -few egoistic webmasters think .info domains are cheap.

 

Please observe the following example and tell everyone that .info can still rank number 1

PageRank Checker

PS: This is probably my 1999th times mentioning this

 

Not only that -- it is also an Authority site in its niche.

 

in the eye of google , there is no difference between domains extensions.

it has the same importance with a com domain

 

.info's are fine. However, some people tend to ignore a .info on the search result as they are used to a .com site.

 

.info domains are treated the same by Google, psychologically though, I think the users prefer the .com domain.

 

That's about it. Most people see .com as the good domains and the rest as trash.

 

OK...but it looks less professional to some people.

 

i agree with agnivo... yeah! they have absolutely no problem with google, but they look less professional.
