.info sites and dashes for .com's
 

I have a couple questions...

1. What do you think of .info sites? Will they rank decent on search engines? I have a few sites I want to register that are .info and have the exact keyword phrase for the sites. How do you think they will rank?

2. I have a couple more sites I want to register that have the exact keyword phrase but include dashes between the keywords. For example, I am trying to rank for [feed the fish today] but the domain name will be "www.Feed-The-Fish-Today.com" Do you think dashes between words in .com's will rank better than other sites? Or would it be better if you registered something like "www.GoFeedTheFishToday.com" (Put the "Go" in front because that .com would be available)

Please let me know what you think :)

Hi Philly
.info sites rank just as good as any. Take a look at my recent site that I have just sold. xbox360freegames.info. its on page 1 of google for xbox 360 free games and for xbox 360 free accessories. The domain is under 1 month old.

Its all about doing the right seo work to get some good results regardless of what your domain is.

Regarding using dashes in your domain then I would say restrict it to 1-2 dashes at max. im not a 100% sure if they will affect your serps but have read in many places that they can. No personal experience though.

So just to be safe then sorry keep dashes to a minimum.

.com domains will be your best choice as its the most professional looking and wide used domain.

I went though a phase not long ago buying many .info domains. But i only bought these to promote affiliate offers. I then ended up selling a few sites. Now if i would have got .com domains i believe i would have got more money for the sites.
