I think google puts a lot of weight on domain age (or so it seems) and most of the older domains tend to be .com, so they rank better, but not because of the ".com" - it's because of their ".age". If there is a preference for any domain ending, I would guess it is small and can be made up for with other factors (if a person can't get the .com). I'd say if you can get your personal website (.info) to outrank the .com version, that would prove something. ~ Steve (aka the trade show guru) hey John,
