I recently bought the domain fix.plumbing a week ago for the hell of it, and I put a quick godaddy site on it. Within the last couple of days, if you do a yahoo search for "Fix plumbing nationwide", it's on page 1 of yahoo. For just the search term of "Fix Plumbing", it's on page 5 of yahoo. This is all in a few days. The point is, is that the search engines seem to be extremely friendly and receptive to those new extensions. I believe "fix plumbing" will soon be on page 1 of yahoo, and I will soon see what Google does with it. I'm pleasantly surprised that the search engines like those next extensions. I will be putting adsense ads on it soon. Pleasantly shocked about all of this.

Best,
P

Not saying in any way that new gTLDs would rank better than something else, but I have to say that I've seen newish sites on ngtlds rank suspiciously well for high competition search phrases. Ranking is, of course, based on zillion factors so could have nothing to do with the new g's.

Just someone who has it in his mind that his domain is the best and will be always on top of searches.
No matter what anyone says.
He will find out what happens soon.

What's funny is that I bought US.Directory, and I guess USDirectory.com is owned by Yellow Pages. Normally there could be a trademark or cyber squatting problem, but I'm in the collection business (debt buyer and collections), and so I decided to start a people locating service, since part of our job is to skiptrace and locate people. Anyway, I like putting the name US.Directory at the top of my site. It might be a little misleading as people may think I'm affiliated with USDirectory.com, but that's not my problem. I own the name and I have a related business for the domain. So, the name of the actual business is PeepFind.com, which is forwarded to Find-People.org. "Find People" was by far the #1 search phrase, so had to use that domain URL for obvious reasons. Was all there was left for domains and SEO purposes, but around 136k direct monthly matches for "Find People". Search engines don't care about hyphens thank God. And then to top it off, I put US.Directory all over it for added credibility. What do you think? http://www.find-people.org. Ya, need to also shameless post a link for SEO, but again, it's all related to the this topic, so it should be okay.

Any thoughts on using US.Directory like that?

Another question, will it help my SEO if i put a link back to NamePros, to loop the links? I already did, but just curious on any insight on that.

Hi,
Please understand that G don't rank domains rather it rank content.(intially)
Big G wants to provide best value to searchers and is continually improving and uses more than 200 ranking factor to rank website.
Once website begins to get lot of attention via backlinks ,social signal it's authority increase and so its ranking power.
Domain should merely be seen from branding point of view.

Ya that's where Google screws up and haa gotten carried away. For example, I've had avianflutalk.com for a decade. The first dedicated avian flu site in the world, and the oldest. Even on wikipedia. And still on page 5 of Google if you search Avian Flu, and new content is added daily. Go figure.
