Is .info Domain Good?
Yesterday I purchased a web hosting+domain package and they gave me an extra .info domain for free. I have no problem at all because it is free for the first year. I have about 4 domain names and two of them are active, while the other two is still waiting for the contents. All are in .com and now I have a .info domain.
I am still wondering whether .info domain is good for search engine or not. Cosaaranda said (in Indonesian) that .info domain is difficult to be indexed by search engine. I have no idea how to monetize a .info domain. Right now, my focus is still in my two active domains and no time to write contents for the .info domain.
Do you have any idea about .info domain. Is it good to be monetized or branded?
Please share your experience in using .info domain by commenting below. Any information will be help.
Thank you.

. info Domain — There’s no better way to get your information on the ‘Net than with your own .INFO domain. And there’s no better time than now! “Info” means information to speakers of many different languages around the world. So whether you want to promote information about your business, your organization or simply yourself, .INFO is a great way to create an identity on the Web.

This domain zone is normal. Not bad but not so world-wide. Many splogs and sattellites are based on this domain zone. Reason is in low cost. And in your case it was a free gift. Sometimes registrars do promotional sale for 0.99 $ per domain. Also I know that Black-SEO-guys make doorway-sites on info-domains. Because they make hundreds and thousands of doorway-sites, and it stimulated economy. But search engines have respect to normal sites (not doorway) which are on “.info”-domain.

If do 301 redirect mysite.info to mysite.com, it might help to mysite.com site.
Google and other search engines list all TLDs (.net, .org, .info, .tv, .name, etc) as normal. There is no difference.
But most of the internet surfers use .com domains. So, info domains will be hard to remember for typing.

I am not sure if Google hates info domains. However, given an option - you should always start a venture or blog with dot com domain, second best option would be dot net
Dot info… its useless - I guess that is why they are being given as freebie

I’m curious too. I’ll come back to see what comments you get. When it is really hard to list on google, why is it like this?
