How good are the .biz domains being indexed by primary search engines these days?

[Melnel]

Google has 346,000,000 .biz pages in its index so there is no problem getting them indexed but in my experience they do seem to take a longer time to be fully indexed.

The TLD does not matter when Google considers indexing speed or rate.

[Melnel]

hmmmm....not so sure about that Jan - I seem to have better experience getting .com or .net domains indexed compared with .biz

[incrediblehelp]

Well that could have to do with how your marketing each website Mel. Or a dozen other factors we dont know about.

Google has said before it does not matter which TLD you use, but does make a difference when targeting specific countries. As it is better to use the TLD in for the country your targeting.

[Melnel]

Yes its better to use specific country domain names but .com, .net, .org, .inof, .biz etc are generic ranking wise.

It could be but I don't market just a few sites so I feel that based on the number of sites and that all get the same SEO treatment it is at best an anomaly and for that reason I prefer .com or .net.

I think you will have no problem at all regarding indexing of .biz domain.
