.co.in or .in - which is better

Hi maybe someone can shed some light on this...

what domain extension is better for indexing in google and other search engines?

india

.co.in

.in


some countries have more than one domain extension, does anyone know the purpose or .in compared to .co.in ?

thanks!

 

I think .in is better than .co.in

 

Not a huge difference, but a keyword.in will probably sell more than a keyword.co.in. If you're planning on making a website with one of these extensions, it's a good idea to register or buy the other so you own both the .co.in and the .in.

 

.in is better for general websites

 

co.in is currently used by multinational companies. .in is recommended for a general website.

However there are no rules which prohibit a general website to have a co.in extension.

 

I would have prefer .in instead of co.in - as Indian's like me like small URL

 

Indexing wise- no difference.

Sahara, Vodafone, Ebay and AOL use .in for their Indian sites.

 

It doesn't matter

 

Indexing wise it does not matter. But it can affect the way search results appear. For example .in domains will list ahead of say .us domains for a search term from India. The reverse is true for a search made in the US.

 

.in is better

 

.in is better imo

 

prefer .in cause shorter and rememberable.

 

Like what miturk said, shorter is rememberable. So .in is better

 

I like the .IN too. Suriname's domain name extension is .SR, I'm happy it's not .COM.SR like many other countries. Or .CO.SR like UK

 

i would go with both

 

I guess there is no difference between the domain names, unless it's .info and .name

 

Many companies like .co.in more than .in.

But I like .in cause shorter.
