Hey,

I am working on website I also created Logo's for them!
but the domain I needed was taken.
I had two options, first to take same domain name I wanted with .cc extension second option is adding a letter to it and have .com domain.
I was definitely taking the domain I needed with .cc extension, but some people told me that it may not appear at search ?
what does warrior Seo expert or Experienced with domain think I should do?

    Here's the list of TLD names Google treats as "generic". That TLD is on the list. It's in the same category as .com and other non-geotargetable top level domains.

    If the site doesn't appear in the search, there's something else wrong with it. It's possible that people are not as likely to click a link that has a weird ending, though.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    TLDs have little to do with SEO except that CCs don't get the same respect from people and as such may not get as many links organically. I have yet to see a well known established site using a CC.

    Frankly I like the new TLDs coming out. They have more relevance.

    In 2011, Google decided to remove all URLs which were ending at .co.cc. The decision was taken to remove spam from Google index. As .co.cc domains were free, so people massively registered these domains and put spam content there. All sub-domains under .co.cc extensions were banned. Someone might have warned you on the basis of that mass-deindex.

    TLDs have nothing to do with SEO as long as they are white-listed.
