    I've been contemplating picking up a few. Does anyone know how Google and other SE's treat .ws domains?

    Google has repeatedly said they dont prefer some tld's over others. But is not in googles interest to tell the truth to webmasters at all times, you need to remember that. Personally I think some tld's can rank easier, but its just my opinion. Very hard to prove or disprove as there is so many other factors deciding why a domain is (or isnt) ranking well.

    Extension name doesn't matter. It depends on how you optimized your site.

    Extension doesn't do alot, the only thing that matters is content and backlinks :)

    All tlds are the same for google. They love sites that have a ton of link love. If you don't have backlinks, then you won't rank.

    All TLDs are equal unless you are trying to get ranked in local G's... ie. a .co.uk domain will help with Google.co.uk rankings for "pages from the UK"

    .ws is western samoa. I still think a .ws isnt seen as highly as a .com. (I'm assuming you're not targetting Samoan traffic here).

    Good content plus powerful links are the determining factors for the success of websites and domain names, but certainly .com domains can be easier to handle, writing, memorizing, keyboard shortcuts, etc...
