    for seo view, there is no difference between a .com domain and an .info domain

    a .info has no side effects.. so go ahead with ur domain name.

    .info works really well if thats a content site.
    For other sites like arcade, image galleries, it do not work well.

    I think there is no Google-oriented SEO diff between .info, .com, .net etc.

    However from my point of view running a directory, I get hit by a ton of spam with .info extensions and tend to blacklist them more or less out of hand. I know other people do this too so using .info could have indirect effects on optimisation for SERPs.

    If you can get a .com, that would be the best....but if you can't, then just stick with it. Success actually comes on how you develop your site and work on the SEO.

    Depends on how your want your to gain popularity, If you want mostly organic, then extension doesnt matter at all, Google doesnt prioritize I belive.

    As for direct hits and random hits, obviuosly .com/.net/.org are remembered more, because they just are
