    Yup. .com .net .org .info .biz .edu .gov domains don't mean a thing to search engines. It's the quality (and amount) of content on your pages, and how many other pages are linking to those pages that matters.

    Nope, I agree the extension on the domain wont make a difference to SEO; however if you are giving out the domain name to users; they will usually assume the domain is .com, so this might make adifference to which one you go for, if you can only get 1. Well thats been my experience anyway.

    i agree it's advisable to use .com because most users always use .com extension when looking for a site.

    Nothing makes you worry about anything
    If info is your budget go with it but if you want your users to remember your domain easily then go for .info
    SERP's will not make a difference :)

    ATTENTION: SEO Myth that .biz and .info are equal to .com .net and .org, Google sees these as less important and spammy (especially if contained with hyphens)
