    Hi,
    I am targeting one of EMD but i found its taken in each and every extension (dot)com, (dot)org, (dot)net.
    I found (dot)in(dot)net extension selling domain and my EMD is available in it. So should i go for it ?
    Or its not worth investing ?

    If this post is against rules pleas let me know will delete it.

    Hi,
    I am guessing that that is actually a sub-domain of IN.net that you would be getting then. I would suggest that you consider going with one of the generic country code TLD's which Google is treating as a regular TLD. You can find a list of these down at the bottom of this page:

    https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1347922?hl=en

    Once you are up and running with your domain just be sure to add it to Google Webmaster Tools and to then set your Geo-Targeting for the domain to whatever country you want it to target.

    .in.net trying to get the .in position, but that won't happen. .in.net is a new and 3rd level domain name extension
    Is .in extension available for your name? If yes, then go for it.
    You may get other extensions like .in
    So get which ever you like.

    @edstorm and @pupul thanks for the guidance. But i wish to target world traffic and the emd is not available in com,net,org its only available in indotnet so should i go for it or should try something like emd: domainname then i should go for bestdomainname.com something like that ?

    Yeah, go for .com by adding keyword.
    .in.net is less valuable than a 2nd level domain name.
    So instead of going for a 3rd level tld, go for .com with a keyword extension.
