My observation is that google doesn't rank dot.tk domain names as highly as other premium tlds like .com .net .org etc.
Is this correct? Does anyone have evidence either way that google ranks dot.tk domains equal to or lower than premium tld's?
While there is no special proof that .tk domains will rank lower, Google has a KB page explaining that most widely used ccTLDs will NOT be used for localization:
Google treats some ccTLDs (such as .tv, .me, etc.) as gTLDs, as we've
found that users and webmasters frequently see these more generic than
country-targeted. Here is a list of those ccTLDs (note that this list
may change over time).
.ad
.as
.bz
.cc
.cd
.co
.dj
.fm
.io
.la
.me
.ms
.nu
.sc
.sr
.su
.tv
.tk
.ws
.tk is a country code domain for Tokelau. I imagine these are not ranked highly in other countries. I believe they use it for localized search results - http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/021424.html
EDIT I stand corrected - ABerezovskiy's answer should be accepted since google treats it as a gTLD.

I am a founder for a tech summer camp program. My website has a page full of resources for web-development meant for camp participants and has been getting lots of traffic from people querying html colors, css cheat sheet, and other similar terms.
My question is: will traffic from these terms hurt my SEO for queries involving things like summer camps,tech camps halifax, or other more related queries? or Is any traffic good for my SEO?
Note: We have no problem with people accessing these resources, so I haven't bothered to password protect it or add robots.txt or anything. The site is compcamp.ca and the resource page I mentioned is compcamp.ca/web-development-design-resources/
Google ranks the site compcamp.ca/web-development-design-resources/ well for search-queries like css cheat-sheet, because the content of your site contains the keywords and so on.
There are no Keywords for "tech camps halifax" and so on. So Google won't rank this subsite.
If you want to rank fpr "tech camps halifax" you have to take content on a site (i would expect the start page) which contains those keywords.
The other way round: Successful search queries on your cheat-sheet sub-site won't hurt your rankings from other sub-pages which delivers different information = different keywords.
I hope this is answering your question, don't bother to ask if not.

Here's my big and dirty list of SEO/analytics sites and services. As far as I can tell, none of them can give me a table of most viewed URLs by unit time for some arbitrary domain or subdomain (or the Internet as a whole). How can I get that, or something that approximates it nicely, paid or free?

thanks for mentioning serpIQ! I work with the company and it's always nice to be included. To answer your question, I don't think that any of the tools you listed (or any I can think of myself) can do what you're asking. The only thing that may be able to would be custom reporting for Google Analytics, or some other metrics tracking SaaS - I know we don't offer it as part of our product. Hope that helps!

I have developed a website for a firm that deals in pumps, valves and diesel engines. They require that when an interested user searches with some keywords like "Pump Dealers" or "Valve Dealers", their site should appear in the results. Currently I am not aware of how I can go about this, so my question is what should I do in order for better page ranking. I am using meaningful page titles and have enough text in every page.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Firstly Pagerank is irrelevant these days, so don't worry about that.
You should ensure that you use Google's Webmaster Tools to check that Google knows about your site etc. This will tell you what things it is coming up for on Google.
Make sure that the page has the text on it you want to rank for - as you mention, titles, headers etc will help but don't over do it.
The main thing to do is to get links to your site – write interesting blog posts, contact customers etc so they link to you.
It really depends on who your competition is for those terms - if there are already 10 huge companies ranking for those terms then you are stuck.
The other way to do this is to buy Adwords – this will likely cost upwards of $5-10 a day to get any meaningful traffic though.

Just thinking about my page titles and wondering which one to have
keyword | keyword | site name
or
keyword | keyword | sitename.com
Would the sitename.com work better if it was an online only company?
OK great thanks guys, I think to keep it consistent I am going to use 'site name' as renaming everything to .com wont work.
IMO it's all how you want to be perceived. Amazon includes the .com in their title tags, but Ebay, Netflix and Home Depot do not. Personally, I just use the company name without the .com at the end of the title tag but I don't believe there is any negative repercussions for including it.
Well, When you put in Sitename.com, you already have your site name ( I am guessing).
Also, try to be consistent and stick to either one. The one you chose should be the one users are most familiar with.
In any case, you want users to come to your website, so give more importance to sitename.com . Once they are on your site, then you can display the name of your business.
Personally would not bother with the .com, especially if you have a unique name. Brand yourself with the name and save having to add .com to everything.
Think of all the established web businesses and recent web upstarts. Are they known as example.com or things like Quora, Pinterest, Google or Bing.

A solution to get quick exposure:
Since my website just got lunched 3 days, i still have time to change my domain name. I decided to do is:
Pick a domain name with keyword tacked before domain name as of: {Keyword}Brand.com (looks ugly)
Keep it for at least 1 year till my site get fair exposure, just to reach to my competitors.
Move back to Brand.com (Probably). I know i will loose ranks, but it won't be hard to bring it back because the website is already being exposed and used by many.
Question:
Do you believe this is a good temporary solution?
Hence, The keyword is non-English word.
So get everyone to learn your name and then change it and get everyone to learn your new name? Does that sound like a good idea? Why not build a strong foundation and then keep building upon it? Races are marathons, not sprints. Think long term, not short term. If you're actually good at what you do you will eventually outrank your competitors for all of your keywords even without your keywords being in your domain name. If you're not good at what you, then hacks and tricks like this won't help you anyway.
