    I wanted to register a new domain, and I just checked

    I found one word .com domain. According to the Google adword keyword tool, 5,000,000 peoples are searching for this word monthly.

    All other main extensions have been registered.
    (Ex- .org, .net, .biz ect)

    Anybody can explain about this.
    Why didn't anybody register it yet?

    However I registered this domain
    Will it be risk to me? or my adsense account

    Look at the history for the domain. It is may have just been let go by its previous owner and nobody who was interested was paying attention.

    The other possibility is that it is a branded word, meaning a company owns the right to it and could take the domain from you if they don't like what you do with the site (or just if they feel like it).

    How can I check the domain history?

    Other people have already registered domains for other extensions?

    It all depends on the registrar of the domain name. They each have their own grace period.

    It's a brand name.

    They can give it back if they want?

    It means I have to register a new domain for my site.

    yes this may be the case. you have to be careful with domains/trademark issues as you can easily find an email sitting in your inbox from their lawyers. for more info, check out http://www.chillingeffects.org/domain/

    just go get the domain and sell it right away.
    if others domain names are owned and the .com is not, it probably means that the previous owner couldn't use it, couldn't find a productive mean to it.
    You have a mean, sell it!

    Sounds like it might be a no win situation for you. Like the previous advice...you might just want to let it go.

    That sounds like more of a legal question.

    Maybe start a thread in the legal section? You may get an answer.
