SEO extends beyond the realm of keywords and content. The domain you opt for can significantly affect your website’s visibility, according to Google’s John Mueller. In a discussion on Reddit, Mueller suggested steering clear of budget-friendly domains on Top-Level Domains (TLDs) that are inundated with spam.
The discourse emerged from a user’s query regarding SEO impacts based on different domains – .com, .site, etc. The user questioned if their site’s indexing issues could be attributed to their domain address.

In response, Mueller hinted that some TLDs, like .site, could be fraught with spam, reducing their credibility. This has implications for website owners scouting for new domains, as not all TLDs are created equal.
But how do we identify these spam-laden TLDs? For that, Mueller pointed to resources like Spamhaus.org. The key takeaway? Be vigilant when picking your domain, because your SEO could be at stake.
