Help
Hi,
I heard Go daddy is giving away .info names for 99 cents or something like that. Is it worth doing some good .info names and making blogs and then selling them off?
What do you think guys?

Are .info names good to invest in?

I can't see anything wrong with doing that. However, remember that the average user considers .info domains to contain information and not to be used for selling (I remember seeing a survey result stating such). Obviously you could use advertising, but the general thinking is, just that, for information.
That's not to say you can't use it for whatever you want. I have found that people are generally happy with using .info's, even to the point that it is all they use. When they were first released and for years after, people were worried that search engines would not take them seriously due to their cost, and treating them as 'spammy' sites. However, this has been proved wrong. Search engines treat them the same as .com's.
I would say look out for the renewal costs though. Sometimes they can jump right up and become fairly expensive to do this!
Hope that helps.

.info names are cheap and you can use them freely. I don't think there is any criteria that these domains can only be used for information or something else. My previous company owned many websites of .info domains.

It's a bit like the Madeup-o-matic but instead of just selecting an answer from a HackBSDB it actually uses a human brain to generate one. It would be quite clever if it wasn't wrong all the time. Maybe the 7000 will fix that little niggle.

Until recently (old domain now points to a new .com on a WordPress site) one of my clients had a .info domain and had absolutely no problems in gaining number 1 positions on Google, Yahoo and Bing for a variety of popular search terms so the whole 'doesn't hold much seo value' is utter crap, sorry!
