Whats all the fuss about wanting a .com/.net because it helps your ranking?
Thats is completely not true. Does having a common name say John make you less popular? or is it what you do that affects your popularity?
A domain is only a name, what matters with it is hat you do with it. Below are three situations where a domain with extension other than .com/.net etc has managed to make good success in my opinion.
Lets look at the keyword “check pagerank” in google. Oh what a surprise, a .info domain is in second!!
I managed to get a .be domain (Belgium, when there were being given out for free) to PR4, made $50 from it and sold it for $150 when it had 4 days left.
I also managed to run a hosting company from a .info domain, got the PR of it to PR4, made a constant monthly revenue of $45 per month and also sold it on for $250. Does all of this show you something?
What you might find off-putting in a .info/.be domain is they were cheap or even free for a while, so lots of people bought them and did useless stuff with them like MFA sites. This has certainly plummeted their credibility and even their worthwhile. But being able to do something useful that will let you keep a reader visiting provides a bigger challenege becuase it means you have to restore trust in these extensions.
So my advice is go out there, buy any domain you want wheather its a .info or .com or .tk or what ever, work on it hard and you will get a good return. And whatever you do don’t make it a MFA site.
I hope you find this useful!!
