An excellent post from Rand Fishkin today about the reliance on domain authority for spam in Google highlighted a great tip to find the most important domains within a TLD.
To find a list of what is possibly the top 100 authoritative .co.uk domains in Google just perform the following query:
www site:.co.uk
This obviously isn’t entirely accurate, for example amywinehouse.co.uk and thequeenmovie.co.uk have reasonably low link reputations and are listed above sites like barclays.co.uk and ebay.co.uk, but it does give a nice indication of the strength of domains in Google and their ability to rank.

Wigan FC?
Deary me, Not even a top club I know the premium tv guys managed to sign a load of Championship clubs into a ten year contract years back
Matt, I thought the same – problem is only .co.uk’s are listed and Liverpool use .tv, Chelsea .com and Man United don’t appear unless you turn the safe filter off! :)
It seems quite sensitive to Google personalised search as I get quite different results when signed in and when not.
I find entering the TLD without the www or site command works better. It looks more accurate for a UK autority domains. This was my starting point fore finding authority primary UK primary schools a couple of years back.
With the TLD being sch.uk.
in the first 20th positions, in my country, there are 10 official soccer team web sites… interesting!
Interesting..thanks!
