A guy I was speaking to recently said that he thought that Google was biased towards .com names as apposed to .co.uk's and I have been looking into it and in general the UK SEO companies with .com names have a higher Google PageRank then the UK seo companies with .co.uk names even if a site with a .co.uk has more quality backlinks the .com generally will still get a higher Google PageRank I don't know about SERP's beacuse there are many .co.uk websites with PR4's that are doing very well, however with regards to PageRank the .com names definatly seem to get sorted out more, I cannot find a single .co.uk SEO company with a PageRank higher then 6/10 where as with .com names there are a few PR7's and 8's like weboptimiser.com, bigmouthmedia.com & neutralize.com. I would be interested to hear what your thoughts are on this!

I don't know the comparision but yes google's search results depend even on the domain name......So what all you can do is observe what sites r showing top in your category n opt to them....moreover google search is based on relevance...suppose the search is based on education .edu is given the preference....so see into all these factors

I think that britsh SEO sites are younger than their american brothers. I dont think TLD has anything to do with PR. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ PR - 9 !

.co.uk domains often outrank .com counterparts in UK specific searchs.
If your website is targeted towards UK users, a .co.uk domain could be beneficial.
However, if you own an international targeted website, a .com would probably be better.
