I pretty sure hotels.uk.com was in one of the top positions on page 1 of Google quite a while back, for the term, 'hotels', it's currently on page 3 for that term at the moment.

[edit]

I see we were posting the same thing at the same time

Any domain extension can be made to rank on Google if you get enough links in to it.

Before you get heavily into .uk.com I would remember that the renewal fees are very high, around £50 a year.

The resale value is also limited because people know they are really subdomains of uk.com and that puts them off.

Thumbs up Diamonds.uk.com ranks nicely

Diamonds.uk.com which is a pretty competitive ranks on the second page for the keyword " Diamonds ".

I've seen a few popping up over the past year is nice positions.

Regards,
Barry

Lots of successful brands and businesses use them see http://www.uk.com/showcase

Everything requires work to rank.

You will always have the "its a subdomain not a real domain" crowd sneering at you tho. Its not that hard a cross to carry when its YOU using the premium branded keyword.uk.com and joe blogs clicking on you all day long regardless of your extension and earning you money.

I cannot recommend using a private subdomain for your critical business operations.

First of all, it's not a real domain extension so you are at a disadvantage. Your competitors are using real extensions.
These names are expensive.
Then you are at the mercy of one company that is not regulated like a real registry.
These subdomains are more risky, that's a fact.
Example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/08...sites_go_dark/

So even assuming that uk.com is no problem from a SEO pov, I don't think it's worth it. You've been warned
