   | domains .com .co.uk & google Hi gang, hows everyone doing? I got a question for use... Does google rank a .com domain higher than a .co.uk domain regardless of the content that exists on the .co.uk domain? I know .com is the top domain but does google care about this? I wonder because i come up with little ideas for personal projects and often the .com exists but i just take the .co.uk (its cheaper) plus i like it  Cheers -=BP=- |

  | http://www.google.com/technology/ I'm really not sure... I think if the .com is PR3 and .co.uk is PR6 then the .co.uk should still remain top? For example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...tk&btnG=Search Search for 'tk'. The .tk domain comes above a .com. |

| According to this recent article linked below, google listing is not only unaffected by extension, but it now also picks up on words within a domain name. I guess this could have a dramatic effect on how domain names are valued. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/5/prwebxml124090.php |

http://www.mydomain.com/domain-names-for-sale/domain-names-for-sale.html is supposed to improve rankings about that am not sure either.. i have some urls like that but i think they get hits due to the content on the site rather than the domain... Lycos looks at the domain but it doesnt take that much notice of it due to the domain in general reflects the name of the company and not always the content of the site. Thanks for the answer, and the links... -=BP=-
