discuss .xyz Domains not good for seo at all

[Sophia Alice]

Hi

i have seen people asking about how xyz domains perform on the search engine results

Due to the availabilty i picked up many keyword domains and i have started testing on the seo factor

I had picked up a niche and developed two sites ..one on .com and one on .xyz ... almost identical and hosted it on two different ips

Built backlinks in the same manner

Result :
.com is on first 4 pages for the keyword
.xyz is not even on the first ten pages

I have repeated with different niches and also used cc tlds like .in and .us

Result : cctlds works better

I personally like .xyz and i had some good bunch of domains sold on that extension

But in terms of seo... it doesnt work as expected

Well this is my personal experience ..correct me if you have seen any good results so far

ccTLD should work better as they are favored by search engines in a local search. While US companies are still more incline to buy a .COM than a .US, other ccTLD have been adopted well.
