.biz is definitely not a good extension to use for your legitimate business website.

.biz is mostly used by scammers and fly by night operations (or at least that's the way it is perceived to many people)

Here's a couple of posts about it:

.biz extensions?

I agree with you there, Rodney. Without having read any information about it, I get the impression that every .biz site I go to looks dodgy. It just doesn't seem to have a professional reputation, and if this is the case then the search engines (if they haven't already), will start to list them much lower down - just like all the .INFOs
