    I am still trying to figure out which of these domain extensions are considered best.

    How Would You guys Rank these Extensions? 1-5, 1 being best.

    .info .me .biz .us .ws

    If you are only wanting to rank those 5 extentions:

    .info
    .us
    .biz
    .ws
    .me

    Personally, I wouldn't touch any of the other extentions other than .info or possibly .us out of the above.

    My ranking is totally the same with you! :p

    As .us & .me was the ccTLD but not the gTLD
    & the registration quantity of these 2 country code TLD was much less than the .com :D

    My pick based on brandability...

    .me
    .info
    .us
    .biz
    .ws

    .info and .biz are the only two generic TLD's there, so if I was taking that into consideration, my pick would be...

    .info
    .biz
    .me
    .us
    .ws

    Cheers

    I agree with this ranking.

    I only use .info from that list. And can't use .us considering I'm not from USA.

    well, Im not from usa, :p so .us is not in my list :p

    .info
    .biz
    .me
    .ws
    .us

    but should be:


    .info
    .biz
    .us
    .me
    .ws

    in fact if we check CC or CCC domains the .ws better :p

    No. The .mobi extention has so far been a failure. All the .mobi names I had I have either sold or let them expire.

    .info
    .us
    .biz
    .mobi
    .ws
    .me

    I'll take your 2nd list but replace .ws above .us
    Sometimes .biz can rank better for certain niche above .info though.:)

    .biz
    .ws
    .me

    The top to bottom list for me would be:

    .biz
    .us
    .ws
    .info
    .me

    I put .me on the bottom because it holds no real commercial value other than selling it to maybe a domainer.

    As for .MOBI, it will continue to its downward spiral thanks to the iPhone which allows you to browse normal webpages without the need to create a mobile site.

    .me doesn't have any meaning to me, yeah there could be good domains, but I am pretty sure it can't competewith other extensions on market.. but I have a VVV.me :) just for long term investment ;)

    I am a believer in the info domain for anything I cannot get in com, net or org. With that being said, I have a lot of people ask me why I use an info domain for your-lists. I have to tell them because I was being cheap at the time. Many people consider anything with an info domain to be on the spammy side, and avoid them, as they see them as cheap marketing domains. Go figure, and I thought .com stood for commercial? lol.

    My opinion...

    .info
    .me
    .us
    .biz
    .ws

    Keep in mind, .me can have its country location tracking removed thru Google Webmaster (at least, that's what a Google rep on their forums said).

    It's tough to rank .us, becuase nobody in the US thinks of using anything other than .com or .net. It also doesn't geotarget properly, like other ccTLDs do with their countries.
