Info domain names have always been "cheap and abundant". Not only does it only cost US$1.99 (equivalent to RMB 13) to apply for an info domain name on godaddy, which is only 1/10 of the price of a .com domain name, but you can also apply for a name. It was very short, so I applied for a four-letter short domain name zxzr.info to use as a plastic surgery website. Such short domain names can no longer be applied for in the .net, .com, and .cn series.
Based on these advantages, many people like to use the info domain name when building garbage sites, including the recently very popular website groups, which are basically all info domain names. However, some people have always questioned whether the content of the info domain name is too spam and will be easily punished by search engines. Judging from the early stage, this doubt should not exist. One is through my observation of the website, and the other is based on the nb performance of the website group. But since the launch of Baidu’s big update after the year, this question has gone from non-existence to reality. One obvious feature of Baidu’s big update after the year is that it has violently attacked garbage dumps represented by station groups. Many station groups have just risen in the rankings. It was wiped out in an instant, which probably caused heavy losses to the friends who made the site group. It still costs a lot to build the site group. An obvious manifestation of this kind of blow is that the info domain name has fallen out of favor. Although it has not been completely abandoned, Baidu certainly does not regard info as a real wife, at most it is a concubine.
This speculation was confirmed through the SEO performance of the website I managed. After the year, I launched several new websites, including .com and .info. The contents of the websites were of the same nature, and they were all Taobao websites based on a single page. I operate the new website in the same way. I use the Taobao website I developed to build the website, then collect Taobao products, and then make some simple configurations. Generally, I can complete the construction of a Taobao website in 10 minutes. After the construction was completed, I immediately went to a news website that I had permission to post a soft article with a link. Since this news site has a high weight and is a news source for search engines, as soon as my soft article is published, it is basically a soft article. It will be collected in seconds, and the website link on the soft article will be collected in seconds.
After the first .com mass-sending software operator followed this operation, everything went smoothly. The search engine immediately picked it up in seconds, and the keywords of the mass-sending software instantly had a ranking of more than 300. The next day, I started to operate the website with the second .info domain name. The website building and publishing of soft articles went smoothly. The soft articles were collected in seconds. However, the website was not included even after the second day. I was a little anxious, so I used the same method. I posted another soft article, but it was still not included. At this point, I began to wonder if it was because of the info domain name. I was not discouraged, so I immediately went to two high-weight forums to post external links, but the result was still not included. I gave up completely and could only do other things first and wait and see. A week later, I operated a .com website again, and everything went smoothly. It was included in seconds and ranked among the top 30 for related keywords. As a result, I waited another week before the info domain name finally showed up on Baidu.
From this process, I can initially believe that under the attack of Baidu, the info domain name has fallen out of favor, and the inclusion has become extremely slow. Therefore, those who like to use the info domain name as a garbage dump should consider it carefully, and I estimate that the info domain name has been included in Baidu's key monitoring targets. If you are not careful, it will easily be suspected of being a garbage dump, a group of sites, or the like. But the good thing is that as long as you can wait for it to be included, the weight after inclusion will still be treated the same as other domain names. The main keywords of my info domain name are now on the homepage of Baidu and Google search results.
