      I would go for neither, and come up with a better domain.
      Forget the EMD shtuff.

      Has nothing to do with the extension in those cases, but
      it's taking EMDs to the extreme.

    I had to Google .pw, lol, never heard of that one.

    It's a country TLD for Palau (never heard of it) which is a tropical island (nice, really nice).

    OP, unless your niche is related to Palau, I wouldn't buy the domain. Brand the site instead of an EMD. An EMD isn't going to help you If your target keyword has any real competition.

        Never heard of that one either but it does say that on Namecheap.

        Looks like it's been reused a few times.

        In that case, what the heck, If you want an EMD go for it, just know you still need to do real SEO (quality links) If there's any competition for your target keyword/s.

        BTW, I've never seen a page ranked in Google SERPs with a .pw TLD, not saying it isn't possible, I haven't seen it happen. I wonder If Google still associates that .pw TLD with the country (Palau) since it was once used for that country?

        One extension has several meaning and purpose..

        .co is country specific extension and it is also for "corporation"...

      People have already told you, the Exact Match Domain advantage has been removed. I would just choose a good brandable domain.

    Seriously, if your rankings depend that much on the precise wording of your domain name, then you should probably rethink your entire SEO strategy.

    Avoid .co and .pw. You can surely come up with a .com that works. Just add a good prefix or adjective to your main keyword phrase.

      .pw has been opened to the general public, so it is NOT
      geotargeted anymore. Unless you have a really bad extension,
      like .tk, then almost any extension in 2013 can work.

      Question is, why would you actually want that domain extension?

      It's not cool like .me, .be, etc. I mostly could give a rip about
      domain extensions, but man you gotta be out there to even think
      outside the normal extension box if that's what you come up with.

      I regularly use the site sxc.hu, but no way would I ever say to go out
      and get a .hu

      Sometimes you gotta add logic and need to the mix. You don't
      logically need a .pw

    .pw had a marketing strategy, that stated "the professional web domain", which IMHO was dumb.

    I'd suggest you to go with a domain name different from the exact match keyword. Try to make it broad, think brand.
