Q. registering different extensions of existing sites

is it ok if i register names of existing sites with different extensions? for example: the domain name: Aapya.com is taken but Aapya.net Aapya.co Aapya.org are not

is it ok if i register them, put them up for sale, show advertisements on them?

    Absolutely! Many people do that (especially to prevent others from doing it), but there are some caveats:

    1. If the word(s) in the domain are trademarked, you still have to worry about violating that trademark. Like any domain registration.

    2. Google and most search engines seem to prefer the .COM. So it is harder to rank in google for other TLDs.
