    in terms of backlinks, all TLDs offer the same value.

    As he said, TLD's aren't important SEO wise. Search Engines give equaly imporance to all TLD's. That's why you see .info's first many times ahead of .com's and .net's ;)

    AFA getting .co.cc, I am really not sure about that as you will actually getting a subdomain!

    Yeah. I agree that TLD are equal to SE in some way. There are some sites that ranks even if they are .info, .co.cc etc. I think that .com, .net, .org are more popular and widely used than .info, .co.cc, etc. that's why they are the ones we see most of the time on the search results.. It is on how well you build the site that matters. And how you push quality backlinks to get good rank on SERPs.

    I agree with jg123. No one actually knows it for sure.

    My suggestion is getting a paid domain to show that you are serious in whatever business you planning to use the domain for.

    .co.cc looks so spammy... for a serious web site you can take a "premium" TLD like .com, .net or .org

    But all depends about your content! :)

    If you have EDU or GOV domain it gives you some advantage in SE))

    Matt Cutts himself said EDU and GOV links don't offer any additional value than other TLDs

    Just watch out for country domains, you'll be listed higher in that countries Google, but lower on Google.com.
