If you have an EMD for a good keyword for an adsense site, would it be wise to buy out the other EMD's for the same word like the . NET .ORG and .INFO ?
 
emd are now dead, after the recent update by google.
So,proceed with caution
 
you can buy all the TLD's if you want to create a solid brand
 
if you are creating authority site then i would say Yes.

But if you are creating one more EMD with 10 or so pages then it wont work and also waste of time and money.
 
and what does TLD mean? is that like the whole domain bundle ?
 
I also heard that emd is dead now. But why people are till interested about them.
 
It wont really help. I had an EMD and some douche with a squidoo lens passed me (before the EMD update)
 
tld are for big brands... and not for adsense ..!!!

dont listen to the 2nd poster - EMD will stay alive....

dont crap when google tells you to... fight it out as it makes sense....

Lets clear up some confusion.

The Google update did not specifically target EMD's

It specifically targeted low quality EMD's

Its is the combination of the EMD and a number of other signals that results in the slap, not just having an EMD.


Back to the OP, yes this is a wise strategy - an even wiser strategy would be to build sites out on them with cheap hosting and use them as tier 1 backlinks ^^
 
It will help to command higher price if you decide to sell the domain later on to someone who wants to establish themselves with that keyword EMD on the web.
 
If you can get them for good value then it certainly couldn't hurt. I really like the idea posted by another member saying that you could build sites and use them for backlinks.
That's a really good idea. As long as it's a worthwhile EMD, of course, I wouldn't go buying up a bunch of domains just because they are unique. Uniqueness plus quality plus quantity equals a good investment.
 
Yes everyone. Keep thinking that EMD's are dead by all means, Just means more sites for me. ;)
 
well everything can change in an instant, maybe it will be undead or have similar quality as it did
 
It's good to do for locking out new competitors from easily competing with you.
