ccTLDs -- do you like them?

    I'm sure we're all aware that finding a good, short .com or these days is nearly impossible, because they're all in use or owned by domain resellers. What do you think of ccTLDs (.us, .ca, etc) as alternatives for business domains?

    I feel like for my own businesses (being based in the US) having a .us name adds a small amount of credibility for US-based visitors.

    Another thing I've done recently is registered the same domain in .us and .eu, for targeted marketing on each continent... what I'm worried about, though, is that a lot of people will actually see the less common TLDs like .eu and immediately assume it's something less legitimate, but I don't really have a perspective besides my own on it.

    The CCTLDs for India .in and .co.in rank pretty good in Google if you have the exact keyword. I don't know about how the other CCTlds rank but for anyone that is concentrating on doing business in India via Google, .in is their best bet.

    If you are doing business exclusively in US then .us is good but if you want to target the whole world then even a bigger name relevant to your business with .com would be better than a cctld.
