Googles reading of the uk.com domain

    Hi
    I was wondering what you think about the uk.com domain name?

    Do you feel it holds much sway or better to stick with the .co.uk choice?

    I don't think they would treat it any better or worse than other domains?

    I think uk.com looks pretty wierd so I wouldn't buy one. A co.uk is cheaper too.

    Almost all domain extensions has successful sites, it is the content, relevancy, backlinks and whole optimization process that makes the site meet the ranking factors.

    It's just another ccTLD, nothing fancy or nothing wrong with it.

    Hi,
    Domain name .uk.com is similar to domain name .co.uk, BUT domain name .co.uk attracts more users, since it's more known than the .uk.com.
