    hi my friends, I am a beginner in online business and the first thing I learned is to seo, may I ask?, if I may I want to ask:

    1. whether top-level domain:. com better than others, such as .net, .org, .us, . info??
    2. how important the age of a domain name?, whether the old domain are preferred by google?,

    from several sources who say yes there and some that say no
    a source which I still keep

    hxxp://www.searchenginejournal.com/domain-age-how-important-is-it-for-seo/7296/

    3. do you think, google adsense online business so promising?.

    4. What factors have approximately the note by google?, yahoo and bing?, whether these three search engines have different algorithms?

    I beg an answer from the master, because I just want to jump, so I so want to know the online business from scratch.

    thanks

    Domain extension and age are important but the more important is your content. You should provide good content, product or service so the search engines will love your website.

    Just make sure to keep in mind that "Content is the King". You can also get old domains, do look out for the domains who has more number of backlinks. When you start yourself make sure, you write good content, bookmark them properly and get atleast one backlink a day.

    I think you better start with reading the guidelines and tips specifically came from Google. Search "Google SEO starter guidelines", there you can learn how important the site content is and how you would represent your content to the visitor and search engines.

    I think the first answer is better because if your content is better you will get more visitor and less bounce rate, Which will help you in SEO. Also .com extension make some impact because in becomes international with this extension.

    For your answer

    1. Domain extension has nothing to do with any different from SEO perspective. However, .com has one advantage, most people are tend to rememthem and most of the time do likely linked to .com domain automatically because of assumption. Many websites which are using another extension such as .net has a fuzzy when people do like their content but linked to .com instead of .net he owned.

    2. Domain age is an absolute big on-page factor from search engines perspective, not just Google. But the domain must have some value and consistency retained for a years to have a trust by domain age factor. Not just buy a domain, leave it being rotten for 6 years by done nothing but one page content and no link building, and claim "my site is 6 years old now, Google should favor it." It's not that way.

    3. Google adsense is the best payment for publisher as of now. You can try some other such as Kontera and you would switch it back to adsense with no time. Google always does always pay in time but the most restricted rule come along with. You should play by the rules and avoid trying to game adsense or your account would be removed permanently.

    4. The 3 SEs you mentioned are now have completely different on each. From my own perspective here is some hint.

    - Google do like a site with a high profile, consistency and have been linked from some big sources judged by their own algo. If one of your page has been linked from CNN.com then you have a better chance for main domain to be ranked well. Google does evaluate site by trend and overall, not rely only with content or links.

    - Yahoo is almost like Google but they do have totally different ways to count links toward site. Yahoo does count "every" links. Yahoo bot does always ignore "nofollow" and trying to crawl every thing even you ordered them via robots.txt. Yahoo does like a site with high amount of contents, fresh updated regularly is a plus. They also rely a bit on basic on-page factor such as content keyword density.

    - MSN / Bing does like a site with a lot of links regardless to quality or originate sources. They are currently relying too much on anchor text and domain age has a little to do with results.

    Top level are the best.
    It IS important. Spam sites / link farms only last a few months until they are shutdown, so they domain age is always 1 year or less, so search engines prefer older domains AND ones that are register for several years in advance. If you don't have enough faith in your site to pay for a few years in advance, why should the search engines have any faith in your site?

    You can make a lot of money with Adsense, but you'll need a lot of traffic, or laser-targeted traffic to make a ton.

    Google has the most complex algorithm, they wrote it and have full control of it. Bing developed their own algorithm which they are using. Yahoo uses a different system, but they are going to be using the Bing algorithm soon.

    Good luck!

    1. .com is best but what is more important is content and quality backlinks. If you can find a .com domain for sale that has pr3-4 for under 100 that may be worth buying pr5 and higher start getting real expensive. Be careful make sure they domain comes from a reputable person because pr can be artificially inflated.

    2. Age of domain is helpful but not like it once was. I have a few domains going back to 1999 and I don't see any big advantages. What is more important is how you market your site with backlinks PPC, press releases or articles.

    3. Adsense still works but not as lucrative as it once was but there are still people doing exceptionally well.

    4. They have different algos. Bing and Yahoo cut some deal to move over to the bing platform in the future. Try optimizing properly for google and you will likely do well in yahoo and bing.

    Lucilla thanks, I'll try to follow your advice:)

    @all : thanks for the answer to masters, from some of the answers above I get a little understanding about seo, the conclusion that I make are:

    1. I understand that some domain extension is so important, top-level domain is very important in seo.
    2. I understand that the age of a domain is important, but other than that other important parts I should take note is backlinks and content
    3. I so understand that google adsense is one the best advertising program, but I had to find alternative income other than google adsense as claimed by the master sxperm.
    4. I so understand a little difference of search engine algorithms
