.com, .info, .biz, does it make a difference?

[handbent]

Hey,

I have had a hard time finding any information on this, does anyone know if search engine treats how it ranks different domains like a .com vs a .info? I was just wondering because I've noticed lots of websites are running specials and you can get .info domains cheaper. I know that it makes a difference if you are trying to brand name because people are more used to .com, but as far as the way search engines treat them I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it.

Thanks,
Alex

Some need mean certian things, .mil .gov. are military and goverment

.org has to be a none profit organisation.

Personally I use .co.nr....I'm cheap..and its free.

Im pretty sure its the content that plays the seo

.org does not have to be a non-profit organization

Its just another domain name.

Ya i guess content would play more of a factor than the ending of the domain. Thanks for the help. I think i'll keep goin cheap with the .info's

Yeah, the extension has no relation to the page rankings on the search engines, but, depending on your target audience, you may want to stick with the more common com/net/org.

I've used .info's, .net's, .org's, ect...I always get emails like...

"Yo, Dude...when I go to YOURSITE.COM it doesn't come up!!"

People are preprogrammed to like .com's...so I usually stick to them.
