    .biz .edu and .gov seo advantages are just a myth. Great site, great content and qualitive backlinks will do on domain with any extension.

    Yeah, unfortunately .biz is one of the weekest domains out there. For the best seo results then you really should be looking for a .com or .co.uk domain.

    That's very interesting. That disproves some SEO theories. The site itself has around 100 average backlinks and is around 2 years old. "Buy Kamagra" gets a fair amount of searches too. 12,000 locally and 33,100 globally.

    BTW: It is now in the 2nd spot on the 1st page for "Buy Kamagra"

    Probably because nobody buys them. It's not because they cannot rank (as we saw with BuyKamagra.biz). People assume .biz cannot rank and .com is always preferred anyways (for obvious reasons).

    Agree & Disagree - I agree that if you have the keyword in the domain then you have a higher chance of ranking than a website that doesnt. But if enough on and offsite optimization is done over time, the TLD and whatever you have in your domain won't matter in the slightest - you will still rank.

    One example (kamagra.biz) is enough proof. Either domain extentions don't matter or .biz is positive or neutral in SEO.

    Thats not true that .biz do not rank, If you were talking about buykamagra.biz, You'll notice that it ranks pretty well for its main keyword.
