(ASK) How important is a domain name?

    I often find a domain that consists of random letters and does not have any meaning but highly valued. otherwise I also often find a domain which consists of a name that means, and show the niche domain but low value, then I ask, how important the name of a domain?

    1. Whether the domain name associated with SEO?
    2. Whether the domain name to determine visitors?
    3. Whether the domain name to determine the price of a blog?
    4. Whether the domain name to determine the popularity of a blog!

    That's All...!!!!

    I think if you create site for people - domain name must as short as possible and ease to remember, if you create site for search engines use domains with keywords.

    A domain name is like the cover of a book with the big title on it.

    For me.. domain name is important and it should be short, catchy and easy to remember... but the content of the site is even more important, for greater recall value.

    IMO, good domain name might as well be 8 letters or less, no number, no hyphen, and easy to remember, of course, you should also take your speciality into consideration and I think different countries' people have different tastes.

    In my opinion, keyword in domain can be a additional factor for SEO but can't lead the whole process

    For me good domain is a domain that fills in my keywords, it has a good TLD (.com, .net) and if we are talking about old domains it is good to have domains with lots of links pointing at it, high PR and it is used before with related niche as we are currently targeting.

    Your domain represents your site, so it is a critical part of it. The most important thing is that it can be remembered by a large mass of people, and that its spelling can also be remembered.

    who said that numbers arent seo friendly in the domain extension? it depends on your keyword and if you buy the domain with it but if its a long keyword like more than 3 words it would make the domain look bad and also bad for seo.

    A good keyword domain can get you higher in the rankings than the big boys that pay thousands to be there.
