Do .info names suck?

I love .info domains, godaddy has a $.99 sale right now for them. As long as you put some effort into marketing your name, .info will be just as good as other ext's
 
I have been using .info on a few sites. I have a few credits from GoDaddy for free hosting. I use the free hosting for a few sites, the only bad thing is that you get a GoDaddy banner at the top. It seems to work for a few sites noone is going away just because it is a free site, I seem to be getting a good click through rate. Anyone else using the free hosting at GoDadddy?
 
i make a lot of $$ from those sucky little domains....

:P
 
vmedia is right - there is a lot of money to be made using them... especially with a service like what we offer (look at my sig).

In all honesty... there is no real 'serp power' in .com that isn't also in .info.
 
sell them onto thre *.com owners for a profit. Most will buy for a decent ammount if you can show you're getting targeted traffic in a decent volume. That traffic can make them alot of money =].

But i was always under the impression .com domains had a higher 'weight', guess its just cos they're common and my mind picked a pattern i guess!

Might have to buy a few tonight!
 
I use'em and abuse'em as often as I can. I guess it really boils down to what you intend to use them for.
 
You can rank just as high with a .info as a .com for example type spain into google and you will see a .info in 2nd position out of 447,000,000 results!
 
It doesn't matter if your domain extension is .com or .info. It means exactly the same to the search engines. I see many .info websites ranks much higher than .com websites.
 
I've had luck with .info domains as well. Though when I see them I do tend to assume they'll be spammy, as they tend to be.
 
it depends on what you are using them for. Some ad providers decrease their overall quality score if the domain is .info (or has dashes, misspellings or numbers in it). Despite this, it does not get you blackballed and as people above report no adverse effects in SERP, use them if you need to. Not much to lose.
 
hey domain is a domain. You can make the same amount of money that you earn in dot coms and nets. Just depends on how much work you put on it.
 
through my experience, it does not matter, had .info in top 10 easily, one i didnt even market and was in the top 10 there cheap and cheerful even google has google.info

google has all the domains so no still from them there name ;)
 
i guess for blogs it doesnt matter if .info or .com? might even be .info better in some niches?
 
.info is surely not better than .com. However, if you can get keywords in the .info, but only a weird spelling or odd keywords in the .com, the .info is better.
 
I read an ebook, where the guy claimed that he would buy the .info domain to promote affiliate programs. So for productlaunch.com he bought productlaunch.info or something like that. Then he promoted it on google and managed to make a couple thousand $. :)
 
It depends what they are used for.
In fact they are recommended if you are creating MFA sites
because of the sheer volume of domains you will have to buy
and to keep the cost low.All the more as these type of sites
have a short life span.

If you want to brand a domain with a catchy phrase or easy to
remember term then I would go for com as most surfers will assume
that the domain will end with a com.
 
Do I need to go to GoDaddy if I want to buy 300 .info domains? Even though they suck?

GD isn't that suck IMHO, if you need to buy that much amount of domains, gd is your only choice since they are the lowest in price now for .info
 
Yea and you get free privacy if you buy 5 of them
 
.info are good for small websites but if you want to create a good website, I would suggest you to get a .com
