Absolutely agree, I wouldn't touch .info at all now. I have used one before, but that was back when .info wasn't being abused by the spammers. Thanks for the feedback Carl, and welcome to the site!

Spammers then run multiple sites to see which ones ranked, got penalised then if they were successful the names would be renewed otherwise they would be dumped. Google, Bing and Yahoo all see .info as spam sites and therefore unless your website has some serious authority it will not rank. The CTR on a .co.uk domain would be noticeably higher.
