has anyone else noticed lately that many exact match domains appear to be much higher in the Google SERP results? In a few keywords I'm targeting, where I have been ranking quite well, I've noticed that the exact match domains have now started to appear in the top 5, even though those sites have almost no backlinks at all (compared to mine which have thousands). I've noticed it in a couple of different markets/keywords, wondering if anyone else has noticed it? Cheers Graeme
Hi, I have had one of my exact domain site shoot to page one of Google, it does work, but only if its a .com, .net or .org extention I experimented with a low competition .info site, and it didnt rank at all, it just dissapeared in the internet ether! Coolmoss!
I have heard different opinions on the .info domains. Some people say it doesn't make any difference. Other people swear it makes a big difference. I think if your keyword is not very targeted, you can get a site with .info ranked high. If the niche is very competitive, then stick with .com .net and .org. I haven't noticed any change in exact match domains.
The domain is considered to be the most important factor when Google ranks sites. So if you use keywords in your domain name, then more likely your site will feature among the top sites when that particular keyword is searched.
I dont totaly agree with your. any site not got a high ranking because its exact match with one high ranking site. Every site need quality work to get a high ranking.
