    Question .CO seo ability and worth

    As .co was originally created as a country domain code for Columbia, does that affect its global SEO?

    Are there any formed websites being successful off their .co domain name?

    Unlike other ccTLD's, Google allows Geo Targeting in Webmaster Tools which may help global ranking (they consider it a Generic ccTLD).

    I don't know of any .co sites.

    It depends on incoming links and the way you optimize the site

    Exactly. .CO and .com are treated by Google the same way. There are other factors that decide the ranking of a website.

    O.co, but perhaps not the best example

    Just saw a one page ad in a magazine for jetblack.co They are using the default .co logo (orange square with dogear)

    .Co is good if you have a nice hack (E.co), or a short domain (3 chars including the extension like g.co is brilliant), or if it is country related (Colombian tourism) other than that there is no reason why to choose .co over generic tlds (.com, .net, .org or even .info).

    Right, if you are developing a .CO domain, you'd be smart to register it on Google Webmaster Tools, and select your target market. Matt Cutts made a video about it - here:
