Hi, i have managed to put one of the keywords i am looking to optimise into my domain name http://www.restaurantsstokeontrent.co.uk , we have had some joy in terms of being ranked quickly but is any of this due to our keyword being in our domain name?? If so for future projects would this be something i should be looking to implement in the future ! Cheers Sam
No keywords in the domain name don't help you getting in search engines. However, if people like your website and want to link it, they will tend to put the domain name in the link - and that helps to get well ranked. (sorry for my bad english, hope you understood)
