    Both. Depending on how memorable the business name is. Push the keyword name to it. If it's hard to remember do the opposite and push the traffic to the keyword domain.

    By the way, in long term prospect, I'd prefer the name of the business. For quick access to a niche, better would be keywords but will be some problem in future.

    The best choice is the business name. The business name should in itself have the keyword, if suitable and possible. This will help when it comes to SEO.

    Both, you will need multiple domain names in order to succeed.
    There are a ton of reasons why you should use different domain names at different times of your business phase.

    Right now the trend is "Brandables" but I honestly still prefer a great keyword specific dot com domain name.

    Or save up your money and buy just one authoritative domain name.

    Another option is to buy a specific domain name that you are going to use for PPC purposes only. Your business name may not do exactly what you would like it to do in relation to click to sales conversions... however, if you use one domain that does better at converting sales and redirect it to your actual domain name you may see some success.

    One example I can provide is where a company did not have a website, but they had a facebook page and a great domain name. So they did a 302 redirect to the facebook sales page and used the actual domain name for PPC campaigns.

    This way it did not look weird at first, when viewed in the search engines, then once the visitor gets to the business page... they do not really care how they got there or even understand that the page was redirected for the most part.

    I think registering a domain name on your business name is better than choosing domain name based on SEO
    as business name is the identity of your business

    the the top brand business like samsung, apple and sony etc

    Samsung and Sony are brandable terms, they are not real words. So you are contradicting yourself

    According to Samsung's founder, the meaning of the Korean hanja word Samsung (三星) is "tri-star" or "three stars"

    exactly, thus making it a brandable term, meaning.... "tri-star" or "three stars"

    you can make a brandable term what ever exact keyword match you would like it to be in YOUR MIND... but at the end of the day, the exact match is the exact match and the brandable term is not.

    google prefers brand names over anything else...

    lets say you sell jewelry...

    do use:

    Red Jewelry in your domain or

    Galaxy Jewelry LLC

    Even though google would prefer the brand name, I am not sure if google would purposely
    hold back exact match domains or not, over all, it may not be whats in your domain as
    much as your ability to get the domain/site off the ground. You can call it a brand name
    or anything you like, until the site becomes popular, its just another unknown name....

    I notice too, that brand name has the higher rank than domain name with keywords.

    This is not true...

    It boils down to the vertical and whether there is any competition for the keyword that is being targeted... if an individual is targeting a NON EXISTENT "brandable" keyword which is not a real word or term, OF COURSE they can rank easier than if they are targeting the keyword "Auto Insurance" without having an authoritative website and domain name.

    I prefer a branding name easy for people to remmeber to write on google search . For example if a person find a good article on your site and when it wants to search your site and you have a long domain like buinesstipsinlineadvertisisng well be sure he most likely not find it again

    because you probably do not know how to get an authoritative domain name ranked for its keywords.

    The domain name you provided is just a bad domain name. Nobody wants a bad domain name in general

    Domain name actually dose not play that much on SEO,
    actually the sitemap and page title dose.
    so, better concentrate on company/business name.

    I think that depends on your strategy. If you focus strongly in brand, then the brand name domain is more valuable. But if you want to drive traffic and get leads first to your business, then choose keyword domain, it will help you earn money at the beginning time.
