Does the Domain Extension Effect Website Ranking?

    Recently i saw so many website that are using country-code TLDs and getting good ranking on search engine rather than Generic TLDs.
    Does that mean domain extension also affects website ranking!

    Honestly getting links from high PageRank websites is the #1 most important thing when it comes to SEO. But yes, if you live in Mexico and you have a .com.mx website, it will probably do better than a .com. I live in Thailand where there are not many good websites locally, so I get a good mix of European, Australian and regular .com websites.

    Talking absolute bollocks seems to be the #1 thing if your name is "PPC Nerd" IMHO but we all have our own ideas what the #1 thing is eh....

    You're a fucking idiot and troll. Post results from one single websites you've ranked in top 10, please.

    Don't get links, write high quality content and interlink your website. Quality content over everything. I've done 0 linkbuilding and rank in the top 10 for over 40 percent of my hundred keywords I've been tracking.

    Exactly the way I get all my page 1 SERPS to rockiesfan24 and if one seeks to serve the end user by providing the highest quality results this works in a majority of cases I find. I only have perhaps less than a dozen or so search terms I have yet to get which I would like doing things this way and have hundreds of page 1 SEO SERPS including some very highly competitive short string terms.

    Keep up the good work...

    Yes the ext can affect a website

    Here are the ones you don't need to specify as needing to be non geo > https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1347922?hl=en all geo ones otherwise will only do well in their geo area unless spcified or in very rare cases or for local gov ones and the likes.

    Do you sell links? Is that why you're praising link building as the number one factor?

    When you decided to create content only and inter link within pages of your site then it should look natural for better result.
