    Question about .info and .us domains

    I thought about getting some domains with these extensions for adult blogs. Are .info and .us domains bad for SEO? I've heard mixed things about it. I thought it would be a cheap way of building some new sites. Any opinions?

    In short yes.

    It will take more work to get a .info into a good position compared to a .com or .net . Also watch for the renewal costs, while .infos etc can be cheap to start with, they end up rebilling for a bit, which is where they get you. Lastly its harder to get trades for those shitty tld's .. I know I won't trade with a .info, because honestly most of them are only around for a short while.

      I forgot about them charging more to renew those extensions. Thanks for the advice and reminding me. It sounds like a bad idea on many levels.

          If you can get some solid keywords (i.e. no brandable domains) in a .info or .us domain for a reasonable price, it's worth pursuing for a blog. Paysites should definitely stick to non-hyphenated .com's. I have some top 100 keywords in alt extensions and get decent SEO results with them.

          Wholesale renewal prices for these extensions are in the ballpark of .com, so you should be able to find some reasonable retail prices at most registrars.

            I held the #1 spot for 'free sex chat' on yahoo for 2+years straight with a dashed .ws lol so who knows seo is all speculation no one knwos they just blow smoke out their asses. I would have been #8 on google too but that was right in the florida masacure or whatever it was called and i got killed by the new filters i almost smashed a lot of shit lol...could feel my pulse about to go though my neck :D

              They've gotta be REALLY good keywords...like even 10 times better than what you'd fine in .org or .net in order to be reasonable to get for it to be worth it IMO. Otherwise you're better off finding an available .net or .org on solid keywords, .com on less-solid keywords, or spending some money and buying a better existing domain from someone.

                If they are good keywords, then it is definitely a good idea to get .us or .info domains. As far as ranking goes, .info does not rank very good but .us rank fine.

                The key is getting a good domain name, for example, I got ExGF.us and it's a double bonus, short domain, niche specific and all other ExGf extensions were already taken so it was a good domain to pick up. By the way,

                ExGF.us domain is for sale here:
