    How do you think it's better to register a domain name ? Make it one brandable or a domain with keywords ?

    If the site has useful and valuable content, I would go for the brandable domain. Ultimately search engines will rank you highly anyway if your content is useful enough.

    But if you are making a -half content ads- seo blog about green tea, you obviously have to think about keyword domain as well.

    Search engines don't put too much emphasis on the URL keywords these days.

    Use whatever will appeal to your visitors.

    brandable names take time to make a mark on the net...but once made they are a hit....on the other had keywords play a safer game....u can get decent traffic from search engines

    A keyword in domain may give you some SEO advantage especially in Bing.
