: Do search engines treat the new themed top-level domains the same as historical gTLDs? Since the new themed top-level domains (e.g. .photo, .club) surfaced online, I have rarely seen them in

Since the new themed top-level domains (e.g. .photo, .club) surfaced online, I have rarely seen them in the search results.

I know that some businesses use these new gTLDs, but it seems that everyone, including search engines, prefer the old ones (.com, .net).

Are there any rules/algorithms that are actually giving less value to these themed top-level domains?

There are no TLDs that Google finds preferential to others; they are all treated equally in rankings. There are some geo-specific TLDs that Google will default to a specific country and use that as an indicator that the website is more important in a specific geographic region. But all TLDs are treated equally.

Google's systems treat new gTLDs like other gTLDs (like .com and .org). Keywords in a TLD do not give any advantage or disadvantage in search.
