How am i supposed to know what search terms have a .us domain in the top 3 results? Theres one, For a highly competitive phrase (120,000,000 results). If .com, .net, .org or any other TLD is better for SEO don't you think one of those would have been #1 for a search phrase that returns 120 million results?
Then go register a .com. You asked people if .us could rank as well as any other domain and we told you.
I think it's often harder some places to rank with .infos everyone knows it's a spam extension. Although I haven't had any bad experiences with any TLDs.
one of my clients is using a .us account with great results so far....http://www.ownapieceofamerica.us
That is not a correct assumtion. We have a client ranking very well for at least 5 competitive single words with a .info domain.
Icio.us is another popular .us domain Anyways I don't see why a .us domain can't rank high in the SERP's, search engines don't care about the TLD The reason you don't see alot of .us domains high in SERP's is because people would rather invest money in the more popular TLD's which are .COM and .NET also .us is a CCTLD for the United States and alot of people would like a user base outside of just the United States, not saying you can't have a user base outside the US with a .us domain just that a commercial domain would make users feel like they are in the right place On a final note people would link to any EXT including .Info's as long as the content was worth linking to
It shouldn't matter as long as the person is searching for for example pages hosted on .se domains because then .com domains will be removed from the results. Here's another example of a top ranking .us domain (it's number 2 when I'm searching): http://www.google.com/search?q=all+...ent-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_svSE211SE211&aq=t /Andreas
domain extension is not criteria for serp or seo. there is nodifference between a com domain and an us domain
