How much does a domains value decrease if all extensions are Parked.
I have an opp. to purchase a fairly neat info domain, low ovt. 687
600,000 google. But before I brought it, I had a hunch to check all other extension out. All are taken (and parked) so I have opportunity to buy .info. The .org looks to be in predevelopment, should I take the $2.99 plunge and buy? Or keep treading...

Just trying to be a lil mo DN Saavy.

If you plan to develop and the site naturally works with .info (like hotels.info, commoncold.info, whatever) -- then buy it and dev it. If I were you and buying to resell, that the .com is for sale would make me think twice about buying.

Why would someone buy my .info before they bought the .com?

It's not a definite no, but it does make me think twice about how good the domain is.

ripley.

Thanks alot Ripley. That was my logical decision as well. Just got caught up in all the hoopla from all of the .info talk as of late. And yeah I did go ahead and buy it anyhow.

Parking an info domain is very risky thing.

I can bet the most of the type in traffic will go to the .com TLD

I do not see how parking an .info is risky. Worthless - yes, but not risky.

PersonalBanker.Info - I think that is a nice pick-up and goes well with the extension.

Quite a nice pickup. With all extensions registered there's a base level of interest. If none (only one in predevelopment you think) are developed gives you a good window of opporunity to get a site up, even if its only for revenue earning

With right content and clever search engine submission a .info domain can be more profitable than the .com or any other version. It's not the domain that does it, but web content and what people type in their searches. Good buy, I think.

Parking may be not really interesting for You ...

People type in keywords to find something they want to know about.
Then they land on a page that is filled with links (like a search engine) and a small remark that the domain is for sale or something else that they are usually not interested in.
They usually did not want to be taken to another search engine, or did they?
They usually are not expected to be interested in purchasing a domain, aren't they?
What is the value of such a visit, apart from raising PR ranking for the page of the company that hosts the landing page under Your domain?
Also, many people park domains on a domain listing web, so lots of traffic comes straight from people who only want to know what You as for selling the domain.
Again, what is the value of this traffic?
In my honest opinion it is better to develop Your own web under Your domains.
