A keyword has ~3500 monthly exact searches and an average CPC of 5.74..

Should I register both the .com and .net variation of the domain to help prevent future competition?

Thank you.

    I don't think you'll be able to foil the competition for the keyword if someone wants to compete with you. But, registering both versions of the keyword will give you a running start. What matters most is what you do after the fact, and that will determine just how much of a run for your money any competitors can give you.

    There are simply so many variations on extensions nowadays, that having the .net is not really going to give you a monopoly over the keyword or anything.

    However, if you have the extra few dollars to blow, it certainly isnt going to hurt.

    I think that you should register a .com rather then a .net.

    The search engines, from what I heard, like to pick up .com domain names more then others.

    I might be wrong but that is what I heard.

    Is the site name going to be a trademark? If not I wouldn't bother unless you know this site is going to be big. And if this site is going to be big then you don't need my advice.

    If you have some extra $$ to spend, then do it.

    did the same mistake . Google keyword tool said that the search volume it's 20.000/month , in fact , after i hit the 1 place on google , noticed that there is not even close to 100/month . I only get 1 visit / day maximum

    I also registred the .com .org and .net)
