The new top level domains are a good opportunity for folks to get that domain name they really wanted for their website or business. A bunch of Googlers got together to work out a short FAQ on how they're handled in search, the result is linked below. Somewhat simplified: if you spot a domain name on a new TLD that you really like, you're keen on using it for longer, and understand there's no magical SEO bonus, then go for it :-).

Since you said the magic keyword.

Seriously though, you can get more traffic by including the following meta tag in the pages which desperately need more traffic.
<meta name="pagerank" value="9" />
10 is reserved. PageRank can be all capital, or camel case.

Do you know if there are any plans for webmasters to choose to remove geotargeting on ccTLDs?
It would be amazing if you could give webmasters the choice of global or country option to the International Targeting section (so .co.uk could target United Kingdom or global, no other options). At the moment you are set with targeting the country, but that's not much help for a global business using a domain hack.
(I'm currently looking at possibly using the .st domain, for my own tool but this is putting me off as it will be used by worldwide users)Jul 22, 2015
We don't plan to lift the restriction on ccTLDs in Search Console for geo targeting.Jul 22, 2015
