From SEO view point, will dot info domain be good. ...

From what some people tell me, .info is ranked the same as .com

Open Google and search for "Austria" and tell us what you see as the number one search result.

SEO means search engine optimization but since search engines do not give any special treatment to any particular domain extension then it can not be good or bad really. If you are worried that search engines might ignore or discredit .info domains then don’t, it will get indexed and rank as well as any other extension.

Will dot info Domain be good for SEO?

No.

 

[GiftedDomains]

Yes.

.info will rank good, with good development.

What i found more difficult was .BIZ. Don't know why

 

[JFS]

any extention can rank good enough, it all depends on your seo work.

 

[carob]

Yes see this existing thread for examples http://www.namepros.com/dot-info/746412-show-me-info-website-ranks-well.html

It can do. I have a .info only recently launched and on first page for a couple of terms already, and second page for a more competitive term.

.INFO is not better for SEO

 

[akcampbell]

Keyword dense searched for phrases are probably your best bet with any alternative extension. However, with enough original content country code .infos seem to rank well, examples include Germany.info, Slovenia.info, Austria.info, and Vienna.info. This may be because .info works very well with country keywords so the most able people develop them.

There are tons of Russian .info sites, which is not a good thing.

 

[Mr_Kumar]

Yes and NO.

.info domain should work fantastic for information based websites. If you are planning an e-commerce website then then there are very dim chances for success.

Google supports those who obey rules (which are generally good for society), and .info is meant for information based websites.

Any TLD can rank with the right SEO. The problem with .info domains is that they seem to have garnered a negative stigma due to all the blackhats that purchased tens of thousands of them over the years to be used as "throw away" domains because they are so cheap. Personally, I would purchase a .com, .net or even a .org before buying a .info to build a site on.

.info is very good domain extention for domain name. But for seo Porpus we should take domain extention of our country extention.

INFO domains are ranked the same as COM, NET and the others..I've got some developed .INFO domains which do very nicely SEO traffic wise. They work...They just aren't preferred! The only reason I developed mine is because they were free with a .COM purchase

 

[ProSence]

SEO works on the basis of popularity........ .com has good popularity, good number of domain names in .com is already registered thats why it is given higher ranking..

This way you can compare to other tlds as well.

 

[Federer]

.INFO ranks just as good as .NET/.ORG as long as you have plenty of useful/original content that is constantly updated month after month.

 

[Canopie]

The TLD makes no difference in terms of SEO.

People have the misperception that .COMs are better for SEO simply because .COMs dominate the market in volume.

 

[El Mero]

I preffer .com domains, because Google still love it, and the same domain looks proffesional.

I had bad experience with .info domains. So hard for SEo optimisation...i don't know why.

The main problem I have with .INFO domains is that you likely already have a competitor on the main .COM, and if you're trying to build a brandable website, the .COM is going to steal a lot of your word of mouth and type-in traffic.

If you're mainly planning on catering to google searchers, I guess it doesn't make as big of a difference, but I'd still stay away from them personally.
