    for SEO is exactly the same,
    my suggestion: get both and redirect info to biz.

    lol why get a domain thats like taken the .com .net AND .org
    i did the same thing a few years ago
    i had www.matrixgames.net (or something like that) and most ppl went to .com so its not actually a "cool" solution to have comun domains

    No difference to me. Good SEO and time should bring you visitors.

    I much prefer .info as well. Been some high end domain sales in the .info space.

    I think .info is better. I think .biz sounds spammier. If its to denote a business .biz would only look good to me if it were showbiz or musicbiz.

    What a BS statement this is. Ever heard of SE and bookmark traffic?

    His statement would apply to certain markets. You would loose traffic if the domain is a brand name on return traffic in some cases. General public still considers .COM is the prime extention people tend to type as a habbit plus when a person hears "Hey Jim, did you check out Digitalpoint, it rocks" He would assume the extension is probably a .COM

    Although when going for search engines traffic and even branding there isnt a major difference to have a concern over to a point of not going with the project at all unless the domain is .com.

    Yeah, I made the same mistake. Why get the info or biz when the com,net and org are gone? On the other hand,one word generics are nice in any ext. IMHO
