Asking for SEO Insight on domain choice for niche market? state you're opinion and address on the domain relevancy as proposed to godaddy.com .... I have a niche brand market in wellness - im looking to combine the state and the keyword in the domain name..... using WellnessUtah.com for example --- wellness get about 150,000 searches per day and utah gets about 55,000 searches per day ----- my question is ---- will combination keyword domains be unique to target wellness in utah and will is rank high for the main word WELLNESS - thats my issue ---- whats youre take???
yes, you can combine keywords in the domain which is a very common practice. sometimes people combine keywords to make the URL seo friendly but end up making the domain so long that its not brandable any longer. it works for some as they target search engine traffic only. but if you want a domain that is easy to remember or want people to type in the domain to visit your site, then make sure its short and sweet.
From my experience, there are two additional factors you want to consider: 1. Google drastically devalues keywords after a certain point. If you are just using a few (2-4) keywords, this won't be a big problem, but anything beyond that in your domain name will be devalued. This (along with sultanofseo's good point about branding) is why you don't see 10-word long domains. 2. Although this is a debated issue, many believe that the percentage of your domain that is your keyword will influence how it ranks. From personal experience, I agree with these people. For example, I have had more success ranking for keyword1 if I use something like "keyword1g.com" than "keyword1keyword2.com". Just something to consider.
Hi Mate You Can see more benefit by combining keywords in URL I have seen Some good result with these Thanks
URL is the main factor Google looks. If your URL itself contains keywords in it Google gives priority to your URLs than competitors , But it does not means that only setting good keyword rich URLs will let you come to the top of Google SERP results. Google gives priority to back links, anchor texts in back links, domain trust, age, types of web sites linking to you, web site content, web site structure, your web site hosted IP, your top level domains(TLD) every thing will be monitored before calculating PR in Google.
You will still be able to rank for the term "wellness" regardless of it being in the domain name or not. It will help if it is in the domain name though. Having "Utah" in the domain name is fine, and if there are people searching for "wellness utah" your site will be able to rank more easily for that term. I'd include the keyword "Utah" on the your webpages as well so google will recognise that your page is targeted to people in that area. The most important thing to make your site rank highly for either "wellness" or "wellness utah" will be the quality of backlinks your point to your domain and the anchor text you use. If you use "wellness utah" and "wellness" as anchor text, then you are telling google that's what this page about and it will rank your page highly for those terms.
