Most Popular domain TLD's in Google

[AdoptableDomains]

Nice article referenced today in CircleID about the most popular TLD's in use with actual indexed pages on Google.

Article here:
http://www.circleid.com/posts/googles_most_popular_and_least_popular_tlds/
and continued with the list here:

Here's a partial quote:

I’ve listed the 20 most popular, then the 20 least popular, and finally the whole list.

The 20 top level domains with the most page results in Google:


.com Commercial 4,860,000,000
.org Noncommercial 1,950,000,000
.edu US accredited postsecondary institutions 1,550,000,000
.gov United States Government 1,060,000,000
.uk United Kingdom 473,000,000
.net Network services 206,000,000
.ca Canada 165,000,000
.de Germany 145,000,000
.jp Japan 139,000,000
.fr France 96,700,000
.au Australia 91,000,000
.us United States 68,300,000
.ru Russian Federation 67,900,000
.ch Switzerland 62,100,000
.it Italy 55,200,000
.nl Netherlands 45,700,000
.se Sweden 39,000,000
.no Norway 32,300,000
.es Spain 31,000,000
.mil United States Military 28,400,000

This is interesting because it's not necessariy domains active, but would be pages within them indicating development extent. Since a parked domain is typically a single page, it wouldn't get as much weight as a developed site with lots of info.

The list at the link is very extensive and includes ALL ccTLD's as well as a bottom 20 list. Interesting read.

I was surprised to see .ca with more actual indexed pages than .de and .jp.
