I'm thinking of starting a new site. I want to know if the other domain names apart from .com, .net, .org and .co.uk are worth bothering with.

Has website.me or website.info got as good a chance as the other ones or do the search engines ignore them?

Also, there's a new domain name - website.uk.com . Its much more expensive and it seems to be a server within the www.uk.com domain. Do search engines like it?

Thanks,
Andy

As far as I know search engines don't care what your website ends with. Some are less popular due to the stigma applied to them. Like a lot of .info and .biz sites were pretty shady e-book-seller-type sites and affiliate pages.

.com .net .co.uk, etc are easier to remember. If you're based in the UK I would recommend using a .co.uk or .uk.com (if you want to fork out for the cost), users seeing it in their SERPs will see you as a more local company meaning they're more likely to click.

thanks, I never know about the .info and .biz problems they had. so google ranks them lower?

Like I said, as far as I know Google has no preference. The person doing the searching might, however.

In my experience with both .info and .com websites, there is no real difference between the two of them.

.info is a letter longer and is not as popular as .com ... if you are a huge company, then .info is not really recommended as it doesn't look mainstream.

You can get .info's on namecheap for like $2 though, which is really cool.

Info's are really good for the mass marketer.

hi, It want make any difference over Google but the SEO of a website should matters alot to create an online image.

.com .net .org or what so ever, doesn't matter in terms of SEO. rankings would still be the same. The only thing that matters in it, is its popularity knowing the .com is more popular than others.

if you want to target a specific place to promote your site its best to use the domain for that country but most of us using .com and .info is not bad.
