Ranking with a .nu TLD

[iwebdevnl]

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago i purchased a .nu TLD, it's a really nice domainname but i'm wondering if it's possible to rank with this domain in Google?

I've heard several times that it doesn't matter for Google which TLD a site has, but i normally never see .nu's high in the SERP's, what are your opinions about this?

Is it possible for me to get this site high in google with good links and quality content?

Thanks!

I can't speak for the .nu domain specifically, but you should certainly be able to rank well in google if you build solid links and quality content.

When you mention any random company name like "McDonald's", "Toyota", etc. you can add a .com after and arrive to the company website. The .nu domain does not have that kind of name recognition, but you can certainly build it.

Your challenge will be not only building up your brand / site, but also ensuring everyone recognizes that your extension is .nu. There will always be a percentage of your visitors who will enter your website name followed by .com and end up on the wrong site. You should definitely take a look at the .com version of your URL before making a final decision.
