Can anyone tell me the difference between a .com, .net and .info domain types. I have several .coms and wonder if seach engines treat any of the domain types any differently. I run a travel guide and site under a .net domain. Should I move it to a .info? Thanks for any help you can offer.

No, search engines don't care about that. There are variety in them as they carry specific meanings :
.com - communiation/company .net - network .org - organisation .info - information .ws - website .biz - business like that ------------- http://www.sgkabra.com - Accountancy Firm | http://www.mp3oldies.com.ar - Mp3 Oldies | http://www.best-mp3software.com - Mp3 Software |

I agree... except for the ws... since ws stands for Western Somoa, a country top level domain |

All of the top level domains (TLD) are described at: http://www.icann.org/tlds/ - http://www.icann.org/tlds/ .com = unrestricted, but intended for commercial entities etc. ------------- - eric |
