I understand that keywords are great and thats what helps drive traffic.
My question is about .net .org and .us or .ca domains that are keywords.
Say if a .org has a good keyword, does google help bring that site to the top?
And what about .ca or .us (or any country code).
I understand that if im in canada I will get .ca results, and likewise for .us.
But does google make country domains (with good keywords) rank higher?

I have read this article but im still baffled. I see alot of .org keyword domains taken. Are people actually getting traffic to .org keyword sites or do they use it to divert traffic to their .coms?
