    Hey guys I wanna get into really competitive field and only .us domain left for that keyword.

    Would it be worth it for ranking seo purpuses to have .us domain?

    Do search engines care if the domain is .com .org .net or .us as long there is exact keyword in the domain name?

    would there be a lot of seo benefit having www.keyword.us vs www.anydomain.com/keyword?

    which one would win considering all seo factors are the same?

    www.keywordanyword.com vs www.keyword.us?

    Thank you

    It depends upon the value of the keyword itself. EstiBot.com will calculate an estimated value of a domain name based on a computer algorithm.

    Good keyword domains could pay off. .us domains are country specific, so it may not perform well worldwide.

    You will just really lose to type-in traffic, if your keyword gets any. Maybe go with something a bit longer in .com?
