    SERP has nothing to do with domain extensions,people just don't like it.

    It's more of a concern for branding. .info looks too spammy still, and it's not widely accepted as an authoritative site (there are exceptions, of course).

    There is absolutely no evidence that a certain TLD may influence the SERPS

    dot info are fine for SEO, it's really only branding that they are still frowned upon for. One of the infos in my sig ranks 2nd on Google for the main keyword so no problem there with SERPs.

    The only problem with .info is that they were used for scrapers and spamming a lot some time back. So branding them will be a problem. But they have no problems with SE's

    I 100% agree with it. For branding its bad but for SEO it really doesn’t matters.

    .info's have never been off limits, they are just as good as any other domain.
