.Co Not Just for Colombia: Matt Cutts

Matt Cutts reconfirms that .co doesn’t have to be targeted to Colombia.

Despite Google clearly stating that you can opt to have your .co domain treated not just as a Colombia targeted domain, people have still spread the false notion that this isn’t the case.

Matt Cutts has posted a video in his popular video series stating that, indeed, you can target your .co web site to a different location from inside your Google Webmaster account.

I detailed how this works over a year ago.

.Co is the country code domain name for Colombia but has been commercialized for international use.

Matt Cutt’s word is the last word unless you’re a conspiracy theorist. But this ought to hopefully put a lot of debate to rest.
