Keyword In domain

If I had the keyword dog collars and wanted a domain would you say you would rank higher if your domain was just the keyword dogcollars.com or would it matter if it was cheapdogcollars.com ?????

if the domain name will reflect the main keyword phrase for your website then you'll have better chances of ranking better. The domain name is very important. I just happen to wrote an article on how to chose your domain name a few days ago.

Putting in the domain name keyword will not improve your SEO. Yo'd better work on the content and offsite SEO to improve yyour rankings

The keyword in the domain will help as it tells the SE what your site is about, as long as the rest of your content reflects the same thing. As to using dogcollars.com vs. cheapdogcollars.com, if you can get the first one it is better but only because then you can talk about every dog collar known to man within the pages. If you get cheapdogcollars.com, then that is what your visitors will expect so it's rather self-limiting for you.

The key word in a name of the domain means, that even if someone writes your domain, in this phrase there is a necessary key word.

Do some searches for your keywords on Google. I think you will see that keywords in the domain name are not very important.

A more general domain term may allow you to target different products and services ... some you might not have thought of yet.

Try to pick a domain name that is easy to understand over the telephone and easy to remember ... like welcometoorlando.net.

It can only help you by having the keyword in the domain name. It can be helpful but is not necessary.

For example , lets say you have 2 domains , one is notyourkeyword.com the other is dogcollars.com you are trying to target dog collars.

If someone links to you with just the http link of your domain then it will help give you some points for that keyword.

Hope this makes sense.

My site has very little content and the links don't work, but the domain name ranks high due to the domain name. http://www.HummerHxConcept.com

I feel it's a combination of the domain name & content.

Hello everyone. This is my first post. Wanted to greet everyone.

On keywords in domain name. I agree that it is powerful but not completely necessary. However, it is an extra edge over the competition. As too how much? That is hard to quantify.

I generally like to go for that if possible and target markets accordingly.

I am new to this so, what do I know? I am very exited though, as this forum seem chalked with good info.

See ya,
WST AGOG

Having the same keyword as your domain is always advantageous. For two equally optimized sites the search engines rank the site better which has the same keyword as its domain. So, For "Dog Collars" dogcollars.com ranks better than cheapdogcollars.com

When buying domains I normally try to have a keyword. With some sites such as certain brandables it really does not matter.

A good brandable can be better than a Keyword domain in some situations.
