Domain Question. .info, .net, and .org?

INTERNET MARKETING

Is there a foreseeable problem using .info, .net, or .org domain extensions?

I know that .com is preferable if I plan on flipping, and also just in general for people to remember my domain, but will it hurt my seo rankings or anything like that?

No, there is no problem with them when your SEO is in order and you are using it for mostly online marketing purposes. After a .com, and if I didn't want to add a word or a number or a hyphen to the .com, I usually go with a .net, then a .info, then a .org, I have yet to purchase a .org, but many others prefer a .org after a .com
However...if you plan on flipping, most people will view a .com more valuable than the others, but should be easy enough to sell if you've got the rankings and traffic.

I think i read that google isn't a big fan of .info domain names, considering that they are so cheap to register they tend to be abused.

  I think Google also looks at how long the domain is registerd for. If you register it for 2 years from the beginning, I think Google will see it a serious.

It is so easy to get the .com domain with your keywords in it. there are 5 words that google doesn't recognise in the domain name, (with, and, the, by & for) use any of these with your keywords and you get your .com with only your keywords in it

  .com .org and .net are all good for SEO and can be valuable if they are high keyword searched or brandable.

My personal preference for top level domains is (in order): .com, .net, .org, .info and a long long way behind .biz.

Don't rule out country code domains though. I have good results with .co.uk.
