Do generic .info domain names have the same SEO advantage as generic .com domains?

    For example, if I owned the domain "dogs.com" I would have an seo advantage over other websites if I were going for the keyword "dogs". Would I have the same seo advantage with the domain "dogs.info" or does Google only favor .com extensions?

    There is no favoritism they both have the same SEO value.

    Yes Greg, you would. As redgsr said, the search engines don't place any special emphasis on the TLD used in a domain name except in cases where a user is conducting a local search in a country-specific search engine, such as Google.co.uk or Google.ca

    And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    .com .net. .info - they're all the same in the eyes of Google
