Has anyone ever seen them in the search engines?
I can't recall seeing one ranking ever!
That said there should'nt really be a problem, no domain name is better than others for ranking in any search engine, aslong as you have covered geo-location issues relating to your particular domain extension and the search engine you are targetting.
For example, if i target google.co.uk i always go for an extension ending in .uk, but thats just because its easier and i then don't need to worry about where my domain is hosted, the geo location of the DNS servers, amount of incoming links from UK sites etc.
People don't optimise for search terms (except for you it seems! )
hehe,
I don't understand this. If you are not optimising for search terms, what are you optimising for?
.
How are .uk.coms for seo? I have a .uk.com with the exact term i want to target although there is a lot of competition..
thanks
as a far as i know, useless
they're subdomains of uk.com , so basically useless
subdomain or not, does it matter? I thought that if you own sex.com and you can create a sub domain called hot.sex.com these are treated by google as two completely different domains? Which is why subfolders are better than subdomains for not leaking page rank?
I have done a bit of research on the net (might be wrong of course) and my conclusion is that extension means nothing - and google only falls back on a domain phrases to rank keyphrases in the absence of more significant factors such as content, links, size of reg period etc.
Subdomains could matter, as often they are based on the weight of the main domain, so if something adverse happened to uk.com, your rankings could in theory plummet or at least be harmed.
