One of my keywords has the exact match .com, .org, and .net 's taken. I'm basically wondering if I should

A) Buy a .com .org or .net but add "x" or "now" to the end of the exact match keyword

or

B) Get the exact match .co or .me If so, which one?

Thanks!

      Poppycock. I have two different websites, both within the same niche. One is a .org and one is a .co - I noticed absolutely no difference in the relative ease it took to rank them first page.

      With regards to which one you want to choose, I am not a huge believer in the power of EMDs. Adding a word or letter before or after your keyword won't (in my opinion) dramatically affect how easy you find it to rank.

      So my answer to your question is that either of the two routes are valid. I personally have domains that go down either route.

      I wouldn't, though, pick a ".me" domain, as this suggests a personal homepage rather than a business/information/sales etc website. I presume this isn't a personal homepage.

    I had to choose like you. One time i have chosen .biz domain, other 3 times i bought .com domains. For example canonslx200.com was not available so i bought canon-slx200.com .
    Did i mistake or not choosing such domain? Or should i better put an x in domain end?

    I have a site ranking #1 with .co in a medium tough niche.
    All the other domains are a mix of .com, .net & .org.

    So in my experience, doesn't matter if it's a .co or .com.

    About EMD i'm with WilliamBlah
