Ok...this is a little bit advance in my opinion, however, I believe anyone can benefit from the following question answers. Let's say you find very interesting niches for you next online business. Now, when you look out for some domains many of them are taken... The purpose of such business niches is to get clicks within the website. Assuming "Show Me The Money" has a wordtracker KEI Analysis of 140,000, WordTracker.Com competition under 110,000 for a bunch of keywords words including the main keyword and Overture searches for the main keyword of 120,000-180,000; but the main keyword URL is already taken for .com and .net extensions... Would you buy a website URL for such example being named as: 1) www.showmethemoney.ws ; www.showmethemoney .eu ; www.showmethemoneytips.com or www.showmethemoneynow.com Remember the main profitable keyword is "ShowMeTheMoney". For search engine ranking purposes, what will you do? My curiousity: I'm just wondering how yahoo and google will look at URL extensions ending in: .ws , .cc, .eu, .us. Will it affect my rankings? So what if you found profitable domain name URL sub-niches and you want to purchase and make 10 website blogs for each one of them... Would you purchase the domain in different online companies (Read something somewhere about this, but not sure the impact and effect it my hold on yahoo/google and the ranking possibilities for se for the url) Pretty tricky questions, at least that is for me. Your thoughts and comments? -Joaquin
I think it would be more important to determine what the searchers are actually looking for when typing in the particular phrase - then you know what they want and whether or not you can deliver it. Apparently extensions don't matter. I wouldn't add on additional words personally, not if it made it look a bit long or silly. If you know what your searchers are looking for with the phrase, it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with a domain name that includes part of that phrase at least. Pete
It depends on the type of website it is for me if I would like to have the keyword in the URL. It also depends on how much competition there is for the keyword. If theres barely any competition then just name it whatever and target it. But if theres a bunch of competition and you can score the URL with the keyword then I would go for it.
