interesting question in practise no but a dot com should be able to rank higher..

The main advantage is type in.

If I tell you I have a product called Mywidget, what will you type into an se to find it? mywidget.com.

Kard63 · 09-16-2004, 08:23 PM

yea I would type .com, but someone is ginving 25 .info domains away form free. I reformatted and lost the link

Tom_PMs · 09-16-2004, 08:26 PM

Not everyone, but a number of registrars are giving away 25 free .infos (first year only), with Afilias (the folks who run .info) underwriting the promotion. I get spammed about this by registrars regularly.

The one I heard about ended it. Can you link me to one please ? I'll play with some blog's

actually in terms of alphabetical listing in directories it does, so by ranking higher in content replicated directories like dmoz you get a better ranking on link popularity based search engines like google.

does it effect it directly
no
does it effect you indirectly
yes

I had not heard of the free ones.

Ahh but right now I have no use for one.

The only advantage .coms really have is that people are more likely going to click them in the serps.

A lot of people learned that .info .biz domains or subdomains will result in spam, popups, redirects, ...

I do not say this is always the case.
But a clean indexed .com gets more exposure from what I've noticed!
