Default Re: Does Google place more importance on .com site?

if you enter say ronboyd into your browser address bar that order still holds today.. it will bring up .com first etc... after .org it will go to YOUR country code. eg. for me here it will bring up .ca.

You should also find that if you are in UK that you will get more .co.uk results, japan .co.jp, austraila .com.au, canada .ca etc. This (I believe) is a newer feature as the search engines are trying to privide more and more localized searches for businesses on the web. Mostly a good thing I know it's always been frustrating for myself when I'm searching for something local and getting tons of results from other countries.
