      Hi, need bit suggestions from you guys. After researchi found a KW that have some good Lcoal search volume.. My question is should i buy the CLD as it has good LS volume or i should go for .com , .net etc. Becasue as i know that LS means that number of people searching form that location(based on IP) not number of people searching in that local version of google. So no need to go for CLD as it vl help only in local version.. Bit confused waiting for reply thanks

        Depends what type of website you have is it a brand then I would opt for a .com domain if it is a more fun style site then go for the .net.

        to be honest do not worry a whole heap about keyword rich domains and domain buying if the numbers are close.
