Why was the top level domain .co.uk used instead of .uk?

Aged .com domain or brand new .co.uk for UK site?

  • Should i buy a 2 year old .com domain or brand new http://.co.uk domain for a site i am making for UK (http://google.co.uk optimisation). I am struggling to find good aged http://.co.uk domains, there are loads of nice .com's that are old, any thoughts? thanks

  • Answer:

    I dont think old domains are treated as highly authorative by Google, just because they no longer have the same content as they did. I got a couple of really old domains (each at least 3 years old up to 6) and created blogs on them. I add fresh content every day, but after 2 months I still dont get lots of traffic... In short - go for http://.co.uk its cheaper
