Do search engines pick up .US domains as good as .COM
 

Decided to do some SEO work in the next few weeks.

All the good .COM domains are taken and I dont feel like waiting for them to expire or overpaying for them.

I noticed a lot of .US domains are still available. Do search engines pick them up as well as .com or is .com preferred?

Thanx

I'm seeing .US/.INFO spam being peculiarly rewarded by google.

yes they do, and it does not matter if it is .com .net .org or .anything.

Great, the low price makes it even better too :)
Thanx for the answers.

same same same same etc
com biz us info etc

They get processed the same.

my idea exactly!

I like the .us and .biz I have been using. It seems like surfers themselves are more used to .com and .net. The search engine seems to treat them all the same

yes they are the same in the seach engines eyes

Search engines look at a lot of things, but not the TLD extension.

I found that the CTR was lower on the .us, .biz, .info domains then on the popular TLD.
