Question about .Info's

Is this an extension that will be worth anything?

Seems to me like this extension is being treated like a Tier 2 extension

Any thought?

If the name is really good, it's worth something. But it seems that there's a bunch of crappy keywords registered in .info

.infos can be a great extension. For instance, camping.info sold for 26k (I believe) about a month ago.

Whats also good is that info means the same thing is so many languages that is perhaps more easily understood worldwide than .com or .org and certainly more than .net or .name

I guess it depends on what the domain is, that is if it suits the extension. If the domain is going to be used for an informational site then a .info domain is great.

I love .info's for Informational Minisites
and the often bargain basement price is a bonus ,not a hindrance

Useless piece of trivia
Several Australian Federal and State Government departments are registering (often at a Premium price of over $30 a year) .info domains instead of the Free (to them) .Gov.au domains.

.info is a good extension for sites providing some information. .info will be worth much more if the name is a really good and relevant enough.

But, if it is undeveloped then it is worthless. I had a domain CorporateBusiness.info and it is undeveloped. It is not worth to keep anymore i think.

so, if you have an idea to develop, register it.

Its might not be worth selling the domain but u can make good money by turning them into minisites earning thru some PPC. Good keyword domain sometimes really come up in search engines.
