Do .info domains get decent Google love?

Hello fellow Warriors,

Just wanted to get your opinion.

I was thinking of creating a whole bunch of niche sites populated with Adsense.

For the fact that I wanted to make more than a handful of sites, I thought that buying .info domains would be more practical in the sense of maintaining an affordable budget based on the number of domains I would purchase.

With that in hand, do you feel that .info domains have just as good of a chance of making money (with Adsense) as a .com, .net or .org?

I've read a lot of mixed feelings in the past... but having come across a few .info domains with half decent PR's, I thought it could possibly be a worthy investment.

In turn, if I worked on SEO, backlinking, blog comments, etc. could I realistically boost a .info domain in ranking to get enough traffic to make a profit?

Would there be any sort of obstacles that I would be confronted with?

I believe I read somewhere that if you had two comparable sites (one a .info... and the other a .com), the .com would come out on top in Google ranking. Is that true?

Looking forward to all of your input.

Garryism...
