    unfortunately i don't know what EMD means

    anyway, if you don't need a .com (or ccTLD for the specific country), then you can use any TLD
    but there is no reason to use a .co instead of .net or .org

    Exact Match Domain

    Once again, I agree with you here and would only use .co if .com, .net, and .org were taken. I was just trying to address your comment earlier that ".co is never good." In some cases, .co is just fine. But I wouldn't use it for an ecommerce site or if I was going for a branded domain.

    i was reacting to the previous post
    referring to O.co that actually redirects to a .com

    do you think exactmatch.qzw7-3.org is worse than exactmatch.co?

    In my opinion, exactmatch.co would be better for both ranking and appearance purposes.

    If I was trying to rank for UK traffic, then exactmatch.co.uk. For US traffic, I would go with exactmatch.co. I've found exactmatch.co to rank fairly well in Google.com, but not as well as a .com, .net, or .org would (on-site and off-site SEO set aside). Also, .co keeps the domain short and I would bet that very few of your visitors would know that it is the ccTLD for Columbia.

    Always .net and other TLD's or you can edit your .com to make it avalible.
    Add a plural, add words etc.

    I would go with .net or the related .com domain by alternating few keywords or letters.
