Premium Domains Have an Advantage?

If you look at all the most popular websites, I do not think any of them are generic one word names. They are all business names, made up names are less common and non-generic words/phrases.

I think the generic single word domain is WAY over-rated. It is not really brandable, and thus is actually worth much less in the long run.

 

A url being used as a link with a primary keyword...the keyword that is the most important to you will definately be a advantage since the url contains the keyword and can therefor be regarded as an keyword anchor link.

This of course gives big SE advantages since this does ad a lot of weight to it.

Secondly the url is most likely for the most part being placed on pages with similar topics an interests and therefor creating more credible link reputation resulting in better serps for the keywords you want to be found.

Keyword domains - the generic kinds are in my oppinion worth the money and especially in the long run with all the link building going on with the keyword url embedded and SE's giving more and more notice to link reputation in the future.

It all depends what a company or individual can spend on a domain...the money that can be spend on such a domain can be considdered as money for advertisement that keeps effective as long as the SE considder and take link reputation more serious.

It's definately worth it in my oppinion.

 

Very well said.
