I have a question about obtaining backlinks from non-us .com domains. If i get linked on a site that has an international domain/domain from another country, such as www.site.co.uk for example, is the link worth as much in terms of link juice as a regular .com domain? If not, how much difference is there in the amount of PR/link juice passing between the two?
Why not ? .com domain is better only for branding, but you would have a very good backlink if you could gain one google.co.uk link Its nothing about extension, its all about strength, PR, relevancy....... of site
almir is right because Matt Cutts stated that all domains are treated the same regardless of the extension.
What is the Difference of getting the co.uk link. well google.co.uk will rank it as a link back, and it will send trafic of uk according to that. google.com and others will also count it as rank, but not as much as google.co.uk
If a .com site wants to rank well in US Google.com, a .co.uk backlink may not bring as much benefit as another com site. If you want to rank weel in the UK however, a .co.uk link is very good.
Hello... What i dont understand is why someone from the USA or another country can by a .IN or .AR or .UK or vise versa when its not their own country extension. laterz malcolm
Matt's a liar. If you have a ton of solid .ca backlinks you'll get good listings on Google.CA, not Google.com, same with all the other extensions. The only reason I know is because I see it first hand every day with a site that was originally owned by a Canadian and has a lot of international ext backlinks. What Brian65 said is correct
If the domain is relevant to your site, then backlink from such site will worth more [no matter what the extension of site is]. Domain extension matters when you want to rank better for any specific country.
I totally agree with fadetoblack22, links from .com websites will help you on Google.com however if you are targeting local Google search engine a link from the same extension is more valuable than any other extension
