There has been a lot of debate in the community about the importance of domain extension for SEO.
A lot of this started when .info websites went missing in Google for a day back in 2008.
More evidence today - Google removed all .co.cc websites from its results:
Google dumps all 11+ million .co.cc sites from its results • The Register

Google has removed over 11 million .co.cc websites from its search engine results pages on the basis that most of them are far too "spammy". The .co.cc space is not an officially authorised second-level domain like .co.uk or .com.au. Rather, it's offered independently by a Korean company (http://co.cc/) that just happens to own the domain name .co.cc.
