    Hi all :)
    I am going to register a domain name, but I have a confusion that what extension should I take? i.e. should I take .com or .in .
    My location is Delhi, India and my target audience is Delhi/NCR and then whole India.
    does the extesion name matters with the SEO point of view?
    Please suggest me if any one can.

    Thanks :)

    I have locally targeted sites on both .com and .mycountry domains.
    I assign both to my country in Google Web Master tools.
    I have noticed no difference in getting either to rank locally.

    So based on my experience I'd say it doesn't matter.

    When it comes to ranking, what matters is the quality of your content and the backlinks you're getting. Domain extension does not really matter in terms of ranking or search engine visibility. Search engines go after your content quality, not your domain extension.

    I suppose that the content your domain has will effect SEO ranking.
    Besides, links and backlinks play an important part for SEO.

    .com is best than other link .co.in, co.uk, etc. Because these type of domain special for any country. If you are targeting only delhi or Indian market then you can register co.in.
    It's special target for India specific domain......

    I suggest you to take .com as it looks good over .in and The extension does not matter over SEO point of view.The SEO depend on the keyword you choose. :D
