    If you want to form a brand, I wouldn't advise taking those for your company's domain.

    General internet use- go ahead.

    SEO-SERVICES-INDIA.INFO doesn't look very professional to me.

    I'd never buy SEO services from a company with a domain name like that.

    Although it is, it's still doesn't look professional and won't attract customers much

    I would pick a different extension other than .info. .info has a heavy association with being a spam site. Definitely not good for business.

    I'm using .info for all of my SERP properties, and have all of my real domains using .com as their registration.

    Also, you can consider other alternatives like .TV etc as it fits into your niche

    My personal blogs are on .info domains. However, many people still entrust doing business with .com sites. I don't know why.

    domain extension means nothing. it has no influence on ranking, just like .edu has no influence on ranking (contrary to popular belief)

    On the contrary, if he ranks an .info above all the other competitors he'll make a fool out of them. Although it's not any different to rank the domain, a popular belief is that info's are bad and tougher get top serps.

    As far as the name goes, I'd ditch the second domain.

    SEO-INDIA.INFO - Good
    SEO-SERVICES-INDIA.INFO - Not Good

    The first domain is good, the last is iffy.

    You don't need to worry about the extension so much except for type-in traffic.

    The problem with info domains is that they dont look really professional. Rather then that, .info has been the most successful of the seven new domain names, with over 5.2 million domain names in the registry as of April 2008. In addition, over 1.6 million .info websites are in active and dedicated use with unique content.

    "-" sign and .info are main reasons to show a professional look for your domain names.

    Hello my friend,

    I’d say .info domains are definitely profitable - IF you know what you’re doing.

    I think a lot of people have bad experience with .info’s because they registered poor names - names which don’t fit the extension - and in some cases people took a gamble on LLLL.info domains thinking a buyout would occur and they’d make good profits. Wrong. Brandable domains don’t suit the .info extension and more often than not they don’t make profits… neither do acronyms (with LLL 3 letters being an exception).

    If I see a website’s URL as — BestLaptops.info (as an example) then automatically I’d assume that site to be some kind of information base, reviews site or price comparison site rather than a site actually selling laptops. I don’t expect it to be a company - I expect it to be either an affiliate site or just a site filled with information about which are the best laptops. Most people view .info’s in this way - and I’m assuming that’s what the intention is behind .info

    I see people register domains such as “iComputerShopping.info” - from experience I can safely say these names do not sell well - especially to the reseller market. With names like this you’re trying to brand what is intended to be an information site… not a company or product. It just doesn’t make sense. Below are a few more examples of names that don’t really work…

    * TotalBlogger.info - what’s this supposed to do? provide information about someone who’s a total blogger? good brandable name, but wrong extension.
    * MissFashion.info - same as above
    * 247ShoppingMall.info - could be a site about all the 24 hour shopping malls, but very restricted and again branding rather than keyword based.. wouldn’t get much organic traffic.
    * UKLK.info - four letter .info, hard to resell to domainers, possible to sell to end-users who own companies with those letters, but this creates a lot of work trying to find the end-user.

    You see, there are a number of reasons why a numerous types of domains don’t work well with .info - there are a lot of things to take into consideration when buying them.
