I found one crazy good expired & clean domain with good history, but the domain is xxxx.co.uk
Most of my keyword monthly searches come from US. Will this domain extension somehow affect my ranking, should I be worried about this?

Thanks

I don't see why in a big way , especially as the content will be in English language.

If you don't want it throw it my way.

You will have hard time outranking .coms and .nets but it's doable.

Why not go after UK keywords?

Yeap, I'd want that domain as well - if it has those ultra high links from ultra high authority news site, I'd collect them all and never leave any stones unturned.
A link is still a link, and when used correctly, it can be your advantage rather than disadvantage.

Yes, domain extension has a low effect on your ranking.

A domain extension has almost to very little effect on seo rankings. You will be able to rank your site in uk if it has high quality backlinks.

no it doesn't, the only impact it might have is if it looks ugly that would impact your CTR

Why not buy a .com and 301 the co.uk to the .com?

It may effective for new domains. Such as Domain include particular location then it will definitely put an impact on SEO ranking or as per specific services e.t.c

No extensions do not impact seo.
