I still buy very select names in these extensions but more with finding a bargain on keywords in mind for development and not for flips....

My 2 cents

[Edit] Of course , 3 letter domains still remain solid for investments in these tlds.

net is a solid tld.
.info's are not worthless at all, they are just a bit more pretentious. They are superb when associated with persons, locations, countries, diseases.
.biz is a weaker extension, but there were still some nice sales there.

A question like this can be very well answered by looking at past sales, and you realize that .com is king, but these extensions are by no means worthless.

.info are not worthless at all I think. I invest in LLL. and NNN.info in the last year and the prices are now higher with 50-60$ /domain which means that there were a good investment and in my opinion there are also in the present.


Godaddy is selling with 0.99 because they now that I want to buy about 25 names to develop my affiliate project and .info names at those prices are exactly what I need.

I am a big info fan with a number developed as both mini and full sites.
I don't own but a few net's but about to reg a loan related for development.
Dot biz is not something I have done much with. Just 1 developed site.

I look at it this way. Once one gets away from the king dot com what is to the left of the dot is much more important than the string on the right.

The exception to this is dot info. Names which don't fit the extension should be avoided.

As usual

i think .info is only decent if it is a single dictionary word that uses the name of the extension with it well. stuff like election.info, apartment.info, cancer.info, etc. and geo names such as chicago.info. getting names like the "e" and "i" type or anything not completely generic or random useless dictionary words is pretty much worthless for .info and people are never able to sell them anywhere. .info has been out for so long and .mobi just came out 8 months ago and LLL.mobi are worth more than double what LLL.info are worth already.

Absolutely, all extentions are worth money, but depending on what name you register that is before the extention

and those are all HUGE keywords for the most part ... as well as single dictionary words, so yes there is money in them, but really only for the top notch domains
