It doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure .info .biz .org .net and .com are all the same SEO wise. At least from everything I've read posted on here. I like .net better personally. .biz and .info could be something to consider too though.

What's the purpose of the website? If it's for affiliate marketing I would go along with the .org. For some odd reason people just trust them more. Especially for reviews.

It does matter for user perception, and that's a big part of selling people things, perception and image. .info is seen as unprofessional and used heavily by spammers, .org usually used by non-profit organizations, so .net is absolutely your next best choice. .biz is relatively unknown still.

Look at this way, would you buy something from getmoneynow.info? I most likely wouldn't, because it shows me they're too cheap to get more expensive domain so they probably aren't making very much money :p

.net and .org are the same in terms of seo, so you shouldnt worry yourself about it.

You can use .net then take .org if that's not available. Or you may want to consider using a dash inserted in the keyword. Ex: Key-word.com if that's available.
Or you may also find that a good buying keyword added in the URL will work and is often available. Ex: Keyword-deals.com
Just don't go too long with your keyword. I believe 21-25 characters should be the max.

Any domain is good for SEO, but not any good for branding. It you are not creating new brand - all domains are welcome

I'd chose .net as slightly better than .org, simply because many .org sites are non-profit, so for the visitor, arriving at a .org which is monetized (assuming that's what you are going to do) creates a slight subconscious conflict with expectations.

As others have said, both .net and .org can work fine, I've done well with both, so only a slight difference in my view
