Default .com vs .info

Does anyone know if yur domain extension has any effect on your SEO?

I am curious to confirm this... I am starting to think it does.

I realize that there is an effect for visitors and people basically remember and are used to .com so it is always the best, however does google factor the domain extension in their algorythym?

Thanks!

Default Re: .com vs .info

No it doens't.
I type in google: Hardware, and the site hardware.info shows first, and .com is more popular.

it doens't matter wich domain, if you have a subdomain like www.hardware.99k.freehosting.com you can get ranked first.
It's just... You need to be a SEO expert, or your site is very popular...!

Exactly, google and yahoo (as well as other search engines), don't regard your extention, it really doesn't matter to them, but to your visitors, they're more likely to visit and remember if it's .com.

Google dont check which domain extension you have. It just check the number of incoming links,

No, it will not affect your SEO. SEO mostly is depend on your backlink and keyword and not related to the extension.

Default Re: .com vs .info

But still, domains can affect your come-backs of users.
Because users likes nice websites, with easy site.
Look at this forum... it's hard to remind in 3 seconds.
Same as Yahoo & Google, it's short, remindable & the site is fast.
Info & Com are actually easy to remind and you should find the best wich is the best for your site.

No matter what your domain is you should (with enough SEO) be able to show up on google or yahoo. I had a freewebs site show up as number one (though it was a fairly obscure search term). The only thing is that visitors will find it easier to remember one of the main ones like .com or .net.

What Vastari says is very, very true. The domain location doesn't really matter, be it .com or .info or .net, unless it's really, really obscure (something along the lines of .tv).
As long as you have enough quality content on your site, along with other things, such as links from other sites, your site can definately become number one on many or all of the common search engines.

Domain extension should not affect to SEO for your site. But it's good deal to use .com instead of .info because now a day .info is cheaper than .com and people are using .inof extension domains for spamming.
