As a directory owner do you accept url's with 4 words, 3 dashes in between?

    Hey, if the domain name has 5 dashes it does not matter to me. What matters is the content on the url. Is the site made simply to generate click revenue? Are there page errors, or language support prompts from IE? Is the site complete, and will it offer value to my visitors?

    I'm tired of the MFA stuff. I keep getting these submissions: squirrel hunting . info, elk hunting .info, varmint hunting .info. These MFA sites need to stick to blogs where there is no real review of their link.

    The domain name is part of the overall impression made by a website, and there are certain things that are warning signs. A domain with a lot of hyphens and keywords in it is one of these signs. On its own it doesn't mean spam, but in combination with poor design, a carelessly worded description, typos, and so on, it all builds up to form a picture. So if you're at the point of choosing a domain, try to go for something memorable rather than one that's stuffed with keywords and obviously bought to make the most of a very particular SERP.
