.Info-A Dangerous Web Domain
By Alan | June 4, 2008
I just read an article about dangerous domains. According to McAfee the most dangerous domains to navigate to are “.hk” (Hong Kong), “.cn” (China) and “.info” (information).
The same reason that many BANS users are snatching up .info’s is why they’re so popular with spammers. .info’s are cheap. Right now they cost .99 cents for a .info vs. $7-$10 for a .com.
I’m using one .info for one of eBay niche stores to see what happens. But I’ve read that many BANS folks are having their sites de-indexed by Google. If the site has quality content that helps the end user, I don’t believe that Google will lay the smack down just because it’s a .info.
Because of the bad rap .info’s are taking, I’m holding back using a lot .info’s for my eBay niche stores. The savings make it hard to ignore. You would save over $600 picking up 100 .info’s vs. com’s. But if in the end your .info’s end up de-indexed and folks can’t find your niche store then the $600 savings is not worth much.
