Is is harder to rank in Google or any other search engines with a dot info domain name?

Nope.

Ranking is related to the content of your site and how many backlinks you have.

Ranking depends on the off site and on site factors. That does not depend on the domain name or domain name extension.

I do not think it is harder to rank a .info domain name compared to a .com domain name at search engines.

I think you're talking about TLD or top-level domain. As far as I know... my answer would be NO. Domain name has an impact on a site's rankings in a SERP but it didn't mean that way. I mean, it will still depend on how you're going to optimize a website regardless of its TLD.

Probably not, but there are still some chances as there is a wide talk that Google considers some of the TLDs as spam sites, due to the large percentage of spam sites with some particular TLDs. Two TLDs that people think are hard to rank in Google are ".info" and ".cn". I have played with one of those tld's but didn't find it hard to rank. So I can say it doesn't matter which tld.

Another major point which people have left out is the age of the domain. The longer a domain name has been registrated for makes a huge difference. A domain which has been registraterd for 5 years will rank better the one which has only been for a year unfortunely.

That's just speculative rubbish. It is NOTHING to do with the age of registration

Chris I support you. But that is life. Some domainers include that in the domain name offers. And there are lots of people which still consider say .COM domain names more valued in the SEO light then INFO.

No.

.info domains rank just as good as .com
