    Hello,

    I've found (and registered) a relatively prime domain. Unfortunately, the extension is .TK My question is: Does Google or Yahoo penalize companies based on domain extension? If I do proper SEO, will I have a chance? Or am I going to be stuck in the middle of nowhere (in the results) because of the domain extension?

    Domain name extension has no bearing on how Google ranks you.
