Good stuff. If you are talking about the US it makes sense to use the .us domain.

I launched H1N1FluVaccines.com a month ago and we should be linked.

Morgan,
Thanks for sharing and congratulations! This is particularly interesting because Yahoo’s organic algorithm has historically placed a very big emphasis on history, ranking really old domains rank the highest. Of course, H1N1 is a newer topic so there really aren’t that many older URLs that could have accumulated a huge amount of history. Overall, a very interesting case study and helpful information!
Best,
Ian

I would target “h1n1″ next by itself.
