    Hi everyone,

    Just wondering how important a domain name is, with regards to SEO.

    Will it affect how easily it is to search for your website?

    I did a lot of searches before I came accross

    www.advertisementgallery.com

    Do you think this is a suitable domain for my website? Check it out and let me know.

    I could have settled for a shorter name but I wanted the domain to reflect what I was doing.

    Thoughts?

    Do you have check the keyword for the domain tha how does people search for the niche.

    The .com is the best for SEO follow by .net and .org

    I think your domain just nice but a little bit too long.

    Having the keyword din your domain name will help you immensely in SEO.. but dont expect to hit page rank 1 with just the domain name. Build Back links to your site and advertise it places.

    Your domain is too long and its not branded.
    Its difficult to remember.
    You need to have short and branded domain name to make your visitor to easy remember your domain.

    How do you suggest i get a short domain name? All the 3 words or less domain names have been taken. Well the .coms anways and it seems like what most ppl have said .net and .org don't work as well.
