A question on the minds of many website operators is whether new domain endings are SEO relevant. In the past few years, more and more new top-level domains (TLDs) have been introduced in order to expand the market of traditional domain endings such as .com. According to official Google statements, the new generic TLDs are treated exactly the same as the more established ones such as .com and .org. Following this, it’s irrelevant for the ranking as to whether the TLD contains a keyword or not. An exception is country-specific TLDs, which aren’t treated the same. For example, a .co.uk domain could rank quite highly in the UK, but it will have a tough time trying to position at the top of the search results in the US. New regional domains are treated like .com domains, according to Google.
Regardless of official Google statements, experts often rely on their own experience. The selection of TLDs will affect the click-through rate and then the position on the search engine indirectly. For instance, websites with the .info TLD would receive a higher click-through rate, since they offer information.
