Is .US just as beneficial as .com?

    I have a couple of sponsorship opportunities for one way links on two pr3 sites that end in .US that are in my niche. A Few questions:

    Both of the domains are identical except for one ends in a R and the other a S, does this matter to the search engines?

    Does domain priority and link value matter if the sites are .US and not .COM?.

    the name of the domain itself makes a big difference, but yea the extension doesnt. Sometimes its good to have a .info because if they search for <YOUR KEYWORD> info, then the .info in your domain will also count as match.

    Domain Extensions are never considered in the SEO works. Only web page is considered.

    No impact from SEO perspective, but a user (say from outside USA) may gets retarded after looking at the "yoursite.us" style domain by thinking of it as US related site only.
