    .com is com and it is the best domain name for using for any purposes.

    I did saw a thread in Directory Owners section here at DP which was about the .com version domain name for directories.

    I am an SEO expert and it seems that seems that search engines don't like the .info domains they do give the preferences to .com domains.

    I can't find a reason to register .info when .com is available.

    .com is always the first choice.

    in my opinion, search engine will go for .com first, then .info. for example if u create helo.com and helo.info, both same content, same keyword and all the same, domain .com will go 1st...

    just my thought, domain rank:
    .com
    .net
    .org
    .edu
    .etc...etc...etc..(.info,.tv,.mobi,.....)

    I prefer .info because often people will use the word info as part of the search term.

    I agree with this.. .info as far as i know.. It means information correct me if I'm wrong.. and for using it on web directory site would be great since web directory is all about site and information IMO. Any opinion with you guys? Thanks

    .com is better, no question. Only get the .info if you also have the.com in my opinion. or if the .com is totally unrelated

    For SEO : all TLD's are the same until you start getting into country specific TLD's, then they do better in their respective google.tld's (Country codes), except .us for some reason (or so it appears to me).

    Always go for .com but if you're low on budget .info isn't that bad.

    For people it's .com better (shorter, well known), but for anything else it's all the same.

    .com would be the best choice as it is the most widely used among the internet. As for .info, it's good as well and I am fond with it. :)

    .com is the established internet institution. suppose you see an interesting site that happens to have a .info domain. after some time you've forgotten the exact domain. when you start guessing and typing addresses in your browser, i bet that you'd start with the .com domain. simply, you've remembered the second level domain and ignored the TLD. so, .com comes naturaly as the first choice.
