I would say most people 90% + when looking through results in search engines
don't look at the
ext of the domains. They just look at the Title and description
more to decide whether to click or not. If one stands out more due to the key word density then that would be the one clicked or it might be the order of the words in the title match what they typed in their search.
We are all domainers so will have that outlook .com #1 .co.uk #2 etc but Joe/Jo public doesn't.
Jo wants a "
pink fluffy handbag" do you think she gives 2 hoots whether she's going to a .me.uk or to a .co.uk ?
So if having a domain just for
SEO reasons (pushing aside reselling value) then why hell yeah use .me.uk's, they don't perform any less in search engines and Google isn't domainist.
We need to look outside the box people! But will say one last thing.... to become excepted more the site on the .me.uk ext etc would need to be an equal standard to standard .co.uk's then it would be on performance rather than the letters after the domain and so on that note I would say sat with no site yes a lot lower value with a website looking and running as good as the .co.uk then it would be on revenue from it not the letter after it.
