If there were issues with ranking a .co, I don't think Overstock.com would have changed to o.co.

LOL! That's what I would say. But I would also add that .co has
been a big, fat bust. Cyber squatters and speculators took
that into the stratosphere. Unfortunately, lots of people
probably lost money on that deal.

There's nothing wrong with a .co, but anyone who jumped on
the bad wagon expecting to get some boost out of a .co
has been sadly mistaken. Just like all the rest who say that
one particular extension gives a boost. They don't.

But it keeps domain resellers rich.

See, .co was supposed to be the next .com.

Never worked out that way because extension just does
not matter.

Plus, logically speaking, a .co just does not seem right. It
begs for something more. Like an m on the end.
Before you scream..., yes I know, that has nothing to do
with SEO. Exactly.

Off topic, but I do a ton of offline marketing. Fliers, business
cards, etc. I can't see me putting a domain.co on anything
like that.

Missed the bandwagon hey buddy? I have over 60 .Co's and have pulled in profits of over 200K in nearly 2 years.
While you're poo pooing the domain, I'm making good $$$.
I'm glad people in general are ignorant and sheepish, makes it so much easier for me to dominate. Had this wanker that lived across the road from me. Supposed to be a SEO Marketing expert an a maths genius. Told him to invest. He ignored me. He found out about the sales I've been making. Now he feels as tiny as his brain!
Lolz.
Seriously though, don't listen to this fool. He contributes nothing to growth or innovation. .CO is already utilised in dozens of countries ccTLD's. This person is either a noob or just lonely and wants attention.

Poo poo because extension does not matter. Note I never said don't
get a .co domain, of course you missed that. Just the idiocy of thinking
some domain extension is going to be some panacea for website marketing.

It's not.

Your post could be written by someone with 60+ .coms, .infos, .nets,
.WTF, who cares?

A .co is not worth the extra money. Period.

Repeat: .co's have been the biggest internet bust since MS took
over yahoo search results. Scratch that. MS will always be the
biggest internet bust...you can add cellphone bust to that
ever growing MS stupid list.

No one was asking if .co was worth extra money; the question was, can you rank one?
The answer is yes.
And you don't have to pay extra money, in fact they're cheaper than .com's and others.

Soooooooooooo a .co cannot be an EMD?!?!?!

Better stick with that day job, E "MD."

If they don't rank worth a darn, which is just BS, why do domain
sellers put a premium price on a .co? Because it's junk?

People used to call .infos junk because they were so cheap.
Even though they're not. So, logic would hold, there must
be something magical about a .co as you pay more for it
than a dot com from most sellers.

But the whole logic of some extensions being magic is just BS.

I think .co domains are perfectly fine. Even though they are Colombian domains, they are accepted world wide. Domain names can make a difference. We all know that .edu and .gov domains rank better. I think it's down to the restrictions on the domain that affect rankings. When there are no restrictions it shouldn't make the slightest bit of difference. I've bought a few .co domains, mainly because the .com domains I wanted were taken, but also because it is short and easy to remember.

I tried to get a .co domain ranked and I did have problems with it but I am certain that it's because I cannot get relevant backlinks. Competitors simply will not link to me unless I pay them and forums that are relevant either use nofollow links or don't like me putting a site that is competing with them in my signature. I've had 0 positive results from paid services, so I am left with writing dozens of unique articles to promote, which I have not yet done.

Theoretically, any extensions should rank (except dot co dot cc or course). However...

Keep in mind that part of SEO now is behavioral metrics as measured on a site by Google in particular.

In my experience and speaking personally, it seems that people trust dot coms, orgs, and nets more so...and this may influence the answer to your question.

I have no hard data to back this up, but that is the gut feeling I get...that being that (long term) com, org, net will be "easier" to rank.

ok I see lot of related replies here but guys I mean let us keep aside the offline marketing factor or easy to remember factor. Let us only focus on SEARCH ENGINES and like we all know that exact match domains still hold a big value and are easier to rank than other domains for instance if I want to rank for a keyword called WARRIOR FORUM and warriorforum.com .net .org is already taken and the only extension remained is WARRIORFORUM.CO in that case what is better WARRIORFORUM.CO or WARRIOR-FORUM.COM ? A hifen (-) should be fine for .com or exact match .co holds more factor? I see few warriors posting they had difficulty in ranking .co can you please explain a bit more?

The only extensions I've ever found "slow" were ".me" and ".biz"
Look on the internet for money searches. "Insurance", "Loans", "Warcraft", "Diet"..loads of .orgs, .infos and dot almost everything else.
But not one ".me" could I find on any of them - and very few ".biz" - the rest?
Fine.
If it's the right prefix and not one of these two - buy it.
I know guys who build a micro site a day based on on .info only for adsense - they make plenty of cash.

Trust me. They both work. Domain extensions will not be a huge ranking factor in an SEO campaign. It will always boils down to the quality of backlinks.

Personally having witnessed 100s, probably 1000 kws I researched the top 10 competition on google, the last month

I say
Domain does not matter

Period

I think we all see EMDs out there ranking and say AHA! SEE! EMD is why this guy is ranking

To that I say Poppycock and BS
Its not true

Most of the sites I see rank 1,2 and they do not have the kws in the domain name and they dont have it in the url either. Heck one site that drives me crazy has about 100 different kws, thats only the ones I have found so far...............that rank 1 and 2 on Google. how can they put all those kws in their domain? its impossible. The domain name is a totally unrelated name. Why do they rank so high? These pages have 10s of thousands of backlinks. not the domain. the pages. Its all about Backlinks and to a smaller extent Onpage SEO

Why is that,? how is it possible?
Because Domain name makes no difference in Ranking

Even a EMD .com....................makes no difference in ranking. The reason you see these EMD.coms ranking? is because sure
if they go out and buy BigBlueCars.com
of course they are going to go and put 1000 backlinks with
Big blue cars in the anchor text
THAT IS WHY they are ranking high.........................not the EMD

Thats my Statement

Google have said .co is a premium suffix. I've ranked with .co just fine.
EMD's still seem to count for a lot no matter ho much the SE owners say they don't.
Also - content on site has a far greater impact these days than it did even 12 months ago.
I'm not saying LSI is taking over from linking - but quality unique content, lots of it and updated regularly is now an even bigger thing than it was 12 months ago. (And I HAVE had sites rank for local - but competitive search terms on LSI alone - not a single link)

Since it is not more than a year .co has hit the market, also the price of the domain is too high as compared to .com, .net and ther TLDs so it is not much popular. Just because it is not in the market and not too old you may not be seeing the sites in the SERP.

Gone are the days when TLDs play the role in ranking factor, now all TLDs treated the same way. You only need to work on them. Once there is enough work they will appear in the SERP.

CO has proved to be a popular domain name and reaching the millionth milestone in less than a year is testament to it's popularity and flexibility. Power brands such as Twitter and Overstock are among those who have already adopted the .CO domain.

Since launching in July 2010, organisations, businesses and individuals from more than 200 countries have all registered .CO domain names. "Entrepreneurs and innovative businesses around the globe are adopting .CO web addresses at an unprecedented pace, way beyond my initial expectations," said Juan Diego Calle, CEO of the .CO registry.

Only domains to stay away from are .info and .biz because the vast majority are spam/junk sites and might put doubts in your customers from lack of professionalism.

All the other domains can rank the same = there is no direct benefit of having a .co or .com or .net or .org. I've got a few .co ranked high no problems at all. Also sometimes it's easier to get a brandable or emd .co.
