The new gTLD info for Monday the 29th

There is more and more content related to SEO and new gTLDs. I recently noticed that the new gTLD Club (this website) is listed on page one of Google's results when I enter "new gtld club" (without quotes). When I get rid of the word "club", another website appears if I enter "new gtld" (without quotes). Isn't this the proof that the TLD has a strong impact in SERP? Try it in Goolge: "new gtld club" ;-)

1. Looking for a job in the new gTLD business?
2. Launching of the .MOM new gTLD: Surprise!
3. One Sunrise Period starting on tomorrow;
