    What do you think about .ws domain name? Is it worth doing link building trying to get top position in google?
    What type of effort will it take to get to the top of google?


    BTW the domain that I am thinking of doing this to is www.businessforsale.ws
    Here are the following results for the keyphrase: business for sale
    The term brings up a 160,000,000 results and has 27,000 Exact Local Monthly Searches and 135,000 Exact Global Monthly Searches.


    Thanks

    I don't think too much of it, mostly because there are not a lot of popular websites in that extension so it is relatively unknown. I know that they have some type of MLM scheme going on, so in those circles it seems to do well.
    I can't know if it is worth it for you. That depends on the ROI you are going to get out of it. I don't know your business model, marketing budget and available time, so can't answer that one for you.
    I do think that it's possible to get a good ranking in Google, but you have to give it time and effort. More competition means more effort and time.
