Ive looked through posts (fairly old posts) about .info sites.

Im based in the UK and will be creating a number of .info sites based on areas within the UK, will I get into the search engines OK, or will as suggested in some posts be placed on the bottom?

My actual .info domain name has my two main keywords within it - will this help?

thanks

On UK engines which filter by domain extension (like Yahoo UK) - you won't appear at all on UK searches. On those who filter by hosting location (like Google UK) you should appear if you are hosting in the UK.

Thanks - I do host in the UK.

>>UK engines which filter by domain extension (like Yahoo UK)

Would i appear in yahoo.com?

what other popular engines filter by domain extensions, and do you think I will loose a lot of potential customers? My main target will be UK based.

Apart from changing URLS, is their any way around this problem?
