Do search engines pick up .infos? Urgent help needed!!!

Today i am thinking of registering a .info domain and developing it, so i just wanted to ask that if a keyword is registered in many extensions and only if the .info is developed, would the search engines show .info domain ahead of other extensions for that keyword search?

It wont have any problem and domain names are in no way related to serps. It is backlinks that rank you higher in serps. If you've tons of backlinks for free blogger blog, you can still make your way up to the first page.

.info is spammer tend to use because of low cost. So Google doesn't love it

A .info domain can rank as high as a .com domain. Domain extensions only matter when it comes to ranking of sites for localized searches.

Local search and other question

Local search example.
Toronto Canada - the Toronto.ca extension (Canada TLD) would have some extra SERP benefit if it was developed the exact same way as the Toronto.info

Also for anyone worried about .info, scammers and a Google slap I'd think that by regging for an extra year that might help any potential Google slap. The scammers usually do not reg for more than one year.

well search engines don't have to do anything with ur domain...they just look up for content...I mean they even find domain sometime useful but .com .net doesn't matter at all..

Yes domains does not matter much.

Due to cheap price of .info Google may catch as spam site

I guess you could say .edu and .gov have more weight or creditability, but besides that it doesn't matter if you have .info or .com.
