    which is better? .info or .com.

    I have had many sites named .info where there is good informative content. It seems many people still like .com no matter what compared to .info or other domains.

    what you think? which is better for branding or seo purposes?

    apparently their is no favouritsm in weighting for either, yet .com ALWAYS seems to do better.

    Also, when less experienced web users go on the net, they tend to put .com on the end of all their URLs. So those sites also gain traffic from the misinformed/inexperienced. In this, it may also bump up their SERP listing due to the traffic bonus recieved through error.

    .info is still good though, and increasingly people are beggining to realise its exsistance. I don't think it will be long until it is recognised by the masses. :)

    .com is best for branding purpose.

    .info is equal to .com in terms of SEO :)

    The .com without a second thought. However .info's do tend to be cheaper to acquire at most registrars, so people buy em. Unless and until you cannot find any suitable domain for your keyword with the com extension, do not buy an info

    Definately .com, for your average internet user it's always .com, whether it's .com millionaire or google.com they will always think of .com!

    Give it a few years and see how .info plays out now the internet is still getting busier and busier and people are learning more about computers as well! Though I still say .com will always dominate.

    Personally I love .com much more then .info. I also think .com's look much more professional.
