    Thinking of buying a few, is it worth getting them? I was looking around, and a lot of people just comment that there spammy and search engines dont like them? So if I did buy them, will I be able to gain traffic, make some off adsense?? Make it as good as a .com domain??

    You will easily find people who say .info's are all cr^p, but...

    • Once you get some traffic and income...
    • ...suddenly, you have a 'winner'.

    They are 99cents now at Godaddy:
    • You have an entire year to "make just ~$9.00 or more"
    • Then you can easily re-new (for the higher price), and...
    • You have passive income, plus a site you can sell. :)

    /and also buy a couple .coms

    I generally don't like .info's because people snap them up as they are cheap and then fill them up with crap to make money from adsense.

    I immediately leave a .info site.

    I think they are spam just because they are .info

    Did you mean they are $1.24?

    At checkout GoDaddy charges a ridiculous ICANN fee (included in other registrars prices) to mislead people on how cheap they are

    Well, it looks like the .info may not have been popular and thus registrars are trying to get people to buy them in impulse by offering the 99cents pricing. But come renewal time then you will feel the pain and there is where they will bleed you as most likely in 12 months time, you may not want to put those domain name to sleep.

    Personally, I avoid the .info myself. I don't have one and I don't intend to register one.

    It all depends on whether the .com .net .org etc are available at the time. For me neither of these were so i had to settle for the .info.
