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.
