.info domains banned in Google – Webmaster reports .info domains getting penalized

Some active members of webmaster world are discussing about a potential penalty to .info domain names. It seems for about 2 weeks Google has been experimenting with .info domain names by removing from search results for a certain period of time to check how much spam it stops in their results.

“This has happened to my .info domain since last night and I am really upset at it.
All my 300 keywords have stopped working in Google but my site still appearing in Google with site:www.example.info and www.example.info searches.
Yesterday I received 600 visitors from Google and today only 4.
My .info domain is one and half years old. Till, Today I regularly update it with unique content and don’t promote it much as I am already receiving number of visitors.. I never did spamming or adopted prohibited ways to promote the site.
I do Free directory submissions and very seldom links exchanges.
Can any expert tell me please what why it has happened to my site?
Is it a permanent problem or temporarily.?
I will be thankful for any help and guidance “

Did Google really ban .info domains i doubt it its very difficult for Google to ever attempt something like that. If you check the search for Global registry you can see afilias.info ranking in top 3 this is an indication that .info domain itself is not banned. May be because that domain extension is abused too much Google might have removed some domains.
