I am not sure if this is the right place to ask. However... does domain extension affect SEO rank?
For example, I know that the extension .com means commercial, or .org means something non-commercial but how about SEO ranking stand-point?
.com vs .website vs .me vs .us vs .co
Thanks in advance.
No not at all. Domain extension don't give a ranking boost. They are treated equally by default (at least in Google).
No...
Domain extension doesn't affect your SEO score.
Based on your business type & category it is very important to know about the extensions and select the one which suits your business.

I have a range of documents that are shared with a team of collaborators in a google drive folder.
Is it possible to view statistics on when and by whom a document was accessed?
Specifically I am interested in a Google Docs document but I believe this should also apply to Sheets and Slides.
I am aware of the activity feed which shows edit and comment history.
Unfortunately, Google has removed this feature sometime in 2013. You can still see edit history, via which you may know who has viewed them, provided they hace modified the file.
However, if they are simply viewing the document, then there is no possible way to determine the view statistics.
Possible alternative for you: DocSend
Looks as it they are revisiting this idea as part of the G Suite product, but I haven't found a free version of it:

Since a recent redesign of our website, we've noticed that the search rankings for certain pages has plummeted as individual publications are no longer on their own page, but rather on publications.php?magazine=xx, where xx is a unique ID number for the publication.
Is there any way to use a .htaccess file to redirect fake subdirectories to the pages, i.e. visiting /publications/magazine-name takes you to publications.php?magazine=xx, and if so: would this even have an effect on their SEO?
If not, is there any other way you can make these URL query strings more search engine-friendly?
I'm only halfway there, but using the mod_rewrite tool with something like:
RewriteRule ^advanced-lift-truck?$ pub-automotive.php?mag=1 [NC,L]
can get me a URL that Google will understand and trawl.
Now, it's just a case of figuring out what I can do about each page effectively having the same "content", just with different CSS showing/hiding parts.
I'm investigating the following:

I wanted to know that sometimes when I search for something on google it shows some results(website links), but it also shows some important links on that website.
I wanted to know that is it a feature of the website or Google uses something to find those main links of the website? Is it related to search engine optimization?
You probably mean Google’s sitelinks.
We only show sitelinks for results when we think they'll be useful to the user. If the structure of your site doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks for your site are relevant for the user's query, we won't show them.
(See this [closed] question.)
It has to do with click-through rates of those links. For example, Googling 'Amazon' brings up amazon.com, with a handful of links below: Books, Kindle e-Books, Music, etc.
These are obviously popular categories on Amazon, and Google tracks where users click, then uses that data to make serps more relevant.

I have a company website hosted at www.BRAND.com (where BRAND is a generic name).
The company want to develop a "micro website" for one of their campaigns, named "Inspired By BRAND".
I have two directions:
inspired.by.BRAND.com - which I personally don't like too much. I don't know why but I don't recall any web address similar to this one subdomain.subdomain.domain.com.
inspired.BRAND.com - which I this is best suited for it. Fewer dots and similar to "more friendly" addresses subdomain.domain.com.
Any hints, guidelines, any thoughts is well appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Personally, I would probably go for inspiredby.BRAND.com. It reflects the name of your micro-site, sounds good to me, and is communicated easily by phone as it does not have any hyphens or underscores etc...

The answers for the first question would be link to the web-site from crawling page(from the page search engine knows already). But, if you type very_long_name_without_any_sense_123kni.com, I guess it will find it anyway.
The second question is about folders.... If you have robots.txt in your root directory, then it's a bit clear. But, if you have no robots.txt on your web-site, how will search engine find all the folders that are allowed to be accessed?
If a search engine knows your web-site but your web-site has no robots.txt, how long will it take to appear at most popular search engine? In 10 minutes? 1 hour? 1 day? 1 week? never? How dangerous is it to leave pages (that should be protected) unprotected even for 1 minute, if your web-site is not crawled yed (because it's protected)?
P.S. These questions are not about steps how to make your web-site popular and to appear on the first pages among others... I'm just curious about principles how it works...
They can't, and don't.
that said, they can make some guesses based on knowing domain names (That information is accessible) and typical default website locations at those domain names.
