.us or .info?
- Thread starter Cynical
- Start date
Both will be just as easy. Getting indexed all comes down to your work at getting your URL noticed by Google, not necessarily the domain. The domain can play some part in your ranking, but as said, it's all about your work and your content.
If I had to choose out of the two, then I would have to say .info because it's more universal. But obviously chose .us if you're only targeting the US.
As a general rule of thumb, if it's a serious project, choose .com/.net/.org over .us/.info etc any day.
Hope that helps.

As LyNHS said, use a TLD (Top Level Domain). After purchasing a bunch of .info accounts, I realized that SpamAssassin counts against the use of non TLD domains as links and mailing domains. This includes bit.ly addresses as well.
Sure, TLD domains costs more, but how much do you have to sell to offset it for a year?
Also, do not use .co for mailing/marketing as you can not add domain privacy to it.

@BlueArrow - TLD domain or not, if SpamAssassin counts against it, it is what it is. Personally, I'm looking for the cleanest emails I can deliver and if that means using a .com instead of a .info to save .2 on the scale, I'm all for it.

It will depend on the kind of work you do for the domain , both in case of getting it indexed quickly or SEO. You can use some tools available in this forum to get indexed quickly

either one, they are both about equal in the eyes of the indexers; some ccTLD's are penalized a bit more heavily than others, but .us, .co.uk, .ca and some others are not bad.
and I'm tired of repeating myself that you do *not* have to be a citizen of the States to register a .us. Look up the damned nexus agreements for any TLD you're interested in, or just apply some creative thinking to it.

greg, you need to be either a US citizen or have a business in the US, if you dont you can lose your domains. One of the recent such losses was Videos/us that was won on an auction for nice money and then got taken away by the registry..

.info makes alot more sense rather then .us in my opinion. Plus .us are 4$ a domain when .info are 2$.
