What domain extensions can be indexed in google?

Real simple way to test. Search out your main keywords
and see what the extensions are.

I have a feeling .com is probably got a little more juice
then .co or something. Despite what big g may say.

(oh God I hope Google is reading this!)

There are no "entire extensions" that Google doesn't index at all.

Many people think that's what happened to .co.cc "domains", but they actually have it all wrong.

That was just one domain (not an entire extension) that Google de-indexed. The "co" part was the domain-name part, not part of the extension at all. There's no such "extension" as .co.cc.

All that happened there was that Google deindexed one domain, and of course that also deindexed all its tens of thousands of subdomains, too.

Many people imagine they've "registered a domain" when all they've really done is licensed a subdomain. (There's a lesson there, perhaps).

This applied to people with .co.cc "domains" (they're actually only subdomains) and it applies to many others, too, such as ".uk.com". Those are also subdomains. All UK domain extensions end with "uk". ".uk.com" is not a domain extension. The "uk" part is the domain-name part, not part of the extension at all, contrary to what many imagine. It's just one domain, and as you can see, it's a .com (surprise surprise).

To answer your question, the TLD's are all the same in this regard, and three of the national domain extensions (.me, .co and .tv - originally for Montenegro, Colombia and Tuvalu respectively) are now treated exactly the same way by Google as international TLD's (because of their widespread uses). Google has been perfectly open about all of this, and there's no mystery about it at all. It's also well understood by people who actually test these things for themselves, rather than simply repeating widespread misinformation based on urban myths.

Other national extensions (like .fr and .it and .es) will tend to rank better on Google searches made within their own countries, at the expense of their google.com ranking.

The world, and even some parts of this forum, are still full of people who imagine that some TLD extensions are more "SEO-worthy" than others. Best just to ignore them completely and stick to the facts.

If you want a really cheap domain-name, that's indexable and just as good for SEO as a .com, and you don't mind that it isn't a .com, then I recommend a .info. It will rank just as well as anything else, and they're about $2 at GoDaddy or $3 at Namecheap.

hypothetical question: 2 domains called BuyCellphonesCheap

They both have the same seo credibility on page, backlinks everything.

One is .com, one is .whateverelse

My bet is .com gets listed above the other. Just a feeling I have.
