    Hi,

    I'm think startup a website and can't decide use .COM or .INFO as extension, is that make a different for SEO on different domain extension? how about the resell value? it seems most people still like .COM better than other extension, even I may not find the name I want for .COM

    Thanks!

    .com is favorite one. If site will only be advertised and promoted in search engines you can use any domain name. If you advertise off line it is easier with .com because people always search with it instead of others.

    I've always seen preference in the serps given to .com's. Not that you can't overtake a .com with a .info, but if I had my choice it would be a .com.

    The .com would be more sale-able, but the extension will not help with rankings. .info .net will rank just as well when optimized correctly.
