    They indeed are very important for the Indian market, but it is also pronoun in English, so that can be useful for the domain name which are not targeted on the Indian market only.

    .IN is good if you want to target indian market. Many people are using .IN domain name just to target indian market

    Yes, also I found the registration price of .in is pretty low something around $2 these days. So better to get one.

    Just to target india it might be important but it's not more important then a .com

    those domains like .in, .uk, .ph are better for geotargetting. Your target market should be local clients only.

    hmm, so apart from geo-targeting, there isnt any special benefit of 3 letter TLD with .in extension.
    thanks for your time friends.

    If your domain is for example:

    abc.in only the people in india will recognize the extension. Unfortunately.

    If your domain is log.in i think it's a cool domain hack and you should advertise it globally and it will be very well know.

    Domain hacks have the potential to be superior to .com

    log.in > login.com

    that was a good explanation, i have researched a lot of domain hacks but all are already registered. [expected thing obviously]

    can u please tell me the importance of .sh extension for domain hacks... and what about .sh domain hacks which are 4 lettered or 5 lettered.
    e.g. squa.sh , etc

    If the content of your website is in english, all you need to get it on top of Google is just good optimization and traffic, the extension doesn't play any major role, take the video service mag.ma for example they are on the first page of Google for the word "magma".

    [​IMG]

    Google read Mag.ma as Magma. Thus, this is why it's called domain hacking.

    I would assume since you're reading this book you already know you need a domain and are looking for advice and guidance on the best configuration for your environment. (If you have not bought the book and are just reading at the book shop you're taking food from my child's mouth and should stop now).

    Usually people don't realize the full potential of a domain and exactly what it can offer their organization. Many times the Active Directory is simply used as a replacement for an NT 4 SAM domain without offering any additional benefits but we will discuss that in much more detail throughout this book.

    Let us begin with a brief history of how the concept of domains originated and how its use has evolved up to the current state. At this point, we will investigate the current levels of functionality available. It is vital to understand where domains came from to appreciate the evolution that has occurred and the factors to consider when implementing Active Directory, which is the final destination of our adventure.

    .In Domain is important to target the India and Indian Customers. if your targeted customer is in India, then you can sure go ahead with the .In domain. 3 letter .in domain. didn't have any idea right now.

    'Early bird catches the worm!' :)

    If you are still holding a few domain names with .in tld, it would be worthwhile to hold on to them for a little longer as with the growing awareness about internet in India, I am sure you will be able to fetch a good price for them... in future! :)
