Who else notices this?

Has anyone noticed when conducting long tail searches on Google to find what they're looking for containing the phrase "me" return results that are .ME's and pushing authority .COM's back, or is it the .ME site's SEO techniques over their competitors? Mostly its phrases ending in "me", as an example: would this look good on me (didn't test that phrase).

If this seems to be the case, Google could have started analyzing keywords and returning results with different extensions. Examples could be something like House Cleaning Businesses returning .biz results, Professional Web Design returning .pw results, Free XXX returning .XXX results, Information on How Lights Work returning .info, searches done from mobile devices returning .mobi results, What's on TV returning .tv and the list goes on (with a mixture of the .com/.net/.org to not confuse the end user). Has Google started to introduce these new extensions in their search results recently pushing the good old dot com back or mixing the bunch? If they have and this seems to be the turn of the internet, would dot com eventually be equal to all other TLDs? (Decade or two unless something completely new is introduced as we all refer to this as the "dot com world" mostly).

Maybe I should have followed good old Bob Parsons and bought davidwalker.me...

Or maybe it’s that time to put all my eggs in one basket and get all the premium .HIV names before they’re taken. ("I just slept with someone", "what is this on my ....", "why does it burn when I pee"-- though not "HIV", could relate as it's an STD) :lol:

I have not seen that "phenom" with .me but saw it with .co a while back. I was actually very shocked when doing a search for a specific term that .co were coming up 4-6 times on every page.

Now, did that help the owner? I'm not sure. To someone like me it stuck out like a sore thumb because of so much time spend on the computer and some ventures that I am involved in. But I bet the average consumer would not even notice. Which is precisely what the web site owner is counting on.

I did intentionally click on a couple and they were nothing more than landing pages and had no real product or services to offer.

Ok, so maybe it's Google rotating them through to see bounce rates and if they can out perform their counterparts... Who knows. I've yet to see a .co or .xxx spring up yet. Not that I'm looking at porn, 80% of the internet is porn and just about anything you search for comes up with one pornographic website somehow...
