To .com or To .info that is the question...

[greenvy]

Do you guys think a .com reign over a .info?

For an Landing Page or Arbitrage....and also in SERP

 

[Rob_TID]

yes, we do

 

[greenvy]

yes, we do

what???

 

[greenvy]

okay...nevermind you were answering my question...i must be high...:rasta:

 

[wrstroud]

.com dude, especially if its a longer term deal

 

[greenvy]

ight...sounds good! .com it is!

 

[harvard]

wow, to.com wasnt regg'd huh? sweet

 

[MyOwnDemon]

.com is king. All of my domains are .com.

Although, godaddy is still running that .99 cents .info sale. Might be worth it to buy a few good .info names and sell them in the future.

Just my two cents.

If you want people to remember your domain for type-ins, go dot com. If you don't care if people remember your domain, and you are really cheap, go .info.

hahaha that was the whole reason i asked the question....that .info offer looks to tempting!

what if my domain includes dashes? ex blah-blah-blah.com or .info

i was thinking getting .info instead of a .com because of the dashes....but not to sure how well .info rank in SE

 

[tradog]

get .info for short term/spammy stuff, .com for longer term legitimate projects.

gotcha!

 

[greenvy]

for an arbitrage type site would you go with a .com or .info?

 

[m0nkeymafia]

I have a .info for one of my legitimate projects.
I registered before I knew any better, but seems to have had no impact on my SE [that I am aware of]

I rank pretty well for some good terms [and I dont even specifically target any at the minute]

I wonder if its more of an initial SE thing, i.e. initially you may take a hit, but if you get enough good links and optimise enough there should be no reason why a .info cant rank up with a .com?

But they are cheaper so maybe for arbitrage its better? Plus you can probably get better names

 

[Juicify]

I think though that .info domains are easier to remember than both net and org!

 

[free]

if the purpose of the site is to make you money, go with the .com

 

[Bluesaga]

if the purpose of the site is to make you money then go with .info... its cheaper!

I think i remember Jon saying he bought 2000(?) domains with this deal?

 

[JamesH]

If you don't give a shit about what happens later with the site, get the .info. This would apply to spammy blogs etc. However if this is a long term project that will take you awhile to build, and you are actually going to put in more than 3 hours building it, I would consider the .com domain.

 

[m0nkeymafia]

Is this .info avoidance from experience? As I mentioned I rank pretty well for a lot of my terms and have a fairly popular site on a .info domain?

I see no reason why it has affected my ranking.
