does the exact match domain have a better chance to be in the first page on google?

i just wonder if the exact match domain that has alot of search average has a better chance to get the website in the first page on google .. what do you think?..thanks

 

not at all, quality of content and relevancy plays major role to my mind.

 

Everyone has different opinions about it. But yes, exact match domains has benefit to rank well on Google. Many event bloggers and tour operators often registers exact match domains to generate traffic & leads for the business.

 

yes. it does. Only true for exact match domain. False for partially match domain.

 

In my opinion exact match domain still get higher rank on SERP. But obviously you have maintain the quality of content. And need to create links on a regular base.

 

Exact match domains (keyworded domains) are in the dark ages, as all they do is confirm possibly what a website does/is about.

Google etc stopped any benefit to the ranking of exact match domain names years ago - now its preferable to have brand name domains eg: Hilton.... Once search engines index your site,
they will automatically allocate you to a category, eg: Hilton for Hotels, but its your exact match keyword which will determine how you are searched for, but where your site ranks is another kettle of
fish entirely. Ranking for keywords is difficult, as the competition is massive eg: 50k of Plumbers all wanting to rank for the same keyword, its impossible to all sit at No 3 on page one, as theres too many sites
and only one position 3 spot etc.

Now, you can attempt to force your way by spending £20'000 a month/week on Seo, this may work, but it may not be a permanent solution - again your competition may stop you and win your slot by outspending you. The Seo boost in rankings will be temporary, as other will find ways to outbid you and outrank you, but Seo is hit and miss with so-called 'consultants' wanting fees of £7000 for 3 months work, which you won't know where you are placed until you personally check this yourself - so this is based on 100% trust, where you have little control, you think you have control, but you won't as too many Seos don't keep their clients fully informed, and this is the start of their nightmare - contractually..

Your other option is to buy webspace (links) to drive the traffic - less expensive and DIY, but has the benefit of the much higher quality control of links... but with obvious greater effort involved.

 

After the Google EMD update (in 2012 I beleve?) not so much anymore. But they're still good to have.

 

From the old days exact match domains really affects rankings but now from these past few years Google is already aware on this and making the results page appropriate as well as most related to the users query instead of exact match domains.

 

I have 2 partial match domain names and seen no difference in 11 years - and that's why I said the above for good reason. Besides, everyone has a bit of text description on their homepage
or other page anyway, so keyworded domains aren't necessary anymore.

 

I have no idea what you're talking about. The discussion is about Exact Match Domains (EMDs).

 

I wrote it in plain English to make it easy.... but I guess you expect me to bow down to your 19k post count?

 

No, but I expect you know to about the topic being discussed if you're going to try and add to the discussion. You seem clueless as to what EMDs are. Hint: They are not partial match domains LOL.

 

Laugh all you like - the fact I own 2 websites that I drove 1 million visitors to each, means nobody ever needs to bother with silly keyworded domains - as
there's far more effective ways to get the job done. That's traffic you or they will never see in 50 years mate... Now that's my online-prowess, I also ran 2 off-line businesses with some success, so we can talk about that too and my expertise in those areas.

Frankly, if people want to orgasm over some outdated ranking method, then go for it, it wont make any difference to their bottom line. Now that is funny, why? funny as I love watching forum kids and novices waste hoards of their time arguing over stupid methods that either only get them minimal results, or none at all, then watching them fight over it in many threads for years, even decades, which proves their desperate mentality, and you just joined that club.

 

Someone needs to get off their high horse. If you can't can't stick to the topic being discussed, it's probably best not hitting the post reply button. It's pointless using partial match domains as an example to prove a point about EMDs. If you can't understand your logic is flawed then I can't help you.

 

If you engaged your brain, then you'd see that if a partial match domain fails, then so must an exact match domain.

If exact match domains are so hot, then why does every decent company use branded domains - yeah, you know it. heres some examples:

Match.com - this doesn't use any keyworded domains, it has no 'dating' or 'love' keywords in it.

Pleantyoffish - again, same as the above

Sunshine.co.uk - no holiday or travel keywords in the branded name.


Such sites are mega successful because of their service and content appeal. They serve niche markets, and are the top sites in their field.

There's tons more examples, and all it takes is a quick search and you would have seen this, instead of arguing. Guys like you are wasting your
time discussing this crap, or more to the point thinking that a ton of helpful forum posts will increase your turnover, you know it doesn't...

 

Gosh, this guy. Here we ago again... talking about stuff you have no clue about. I'm out of this discussion, you clearly don't get it.

 

Search "the kitchen furniture". EMD and PMD certainly have some advantage.
