Anybody Ranking new gTLDs?
 

.webcam .site .website etc anybody getting these to rank?

The right question is who has a developed new gTLD domain with content that can rank?

Too early in the game to tell. The breakout may take as long as a few years.

The only thing constant in life is change.

They work for me. And the site that had given more money has never been a .com site, strangely.

The name of the domain is more important, as well as links and, over all, content. Content is king. You can make an awesome site with a lot of visits as long as you have good desirable original unique content.

I can only say .com, .net, .org .me, .biz has only worked for me.

.tv no, .ninja no.... I think some are a waste in my opinion.

In SE Algorithms the domain TLD is 'theoretically' ignored for word relevancy.

The new gTLDs reinstate the 'community' factor originally conceived for the TLD delegations in the naming conventions;

• .com=commercial
• .net=networks
• .org=organizations
• .gov,.mil = governmental operating units
• .edu = education
• ad infinitum ...

The .com, .net and .org mean nothing now -- they are just overlapping gTLDs. .com is the 'common denominator' for type-in searches but that will change in time. Or, that is the hypothesis;

that the community (or common interests) will matter
.xyz is not a 'community'
.attorney or .autos IS a special interest community.

Where the 'community' or niche domain TLD string comes in; will be in branding for top of mind marketing resulting in type-in traffic and ranking by popularity -- the original Google SE Algorithmic Patent (if you are familiar with the patent).

The long term objective (and hypothesis) will be that Google (and other SE) recognize the community interest grouping of the new domain names the same way as search engines have recognized the ccTLDs of country names now, e.g.; .uk, .ca, .eu, etc.

Content is king and not the domain TLD. Pie in the sky is a .com on SEDO parking -- that is a bubble that may (and probably will) pop :2 cents:

If this nonsense keeps up I will have to start using .tk domains.

I'm about to embark on a very niche dating site project, and I'm considering leaning towards the .dating extension.

if you have a shitty site no domain will help you rank it
