A question for some SEO guru's... I have a site with a domain that contains two stop words (word's generally ignored by the SE's). Is it possible to rank for these words or will they just be ignored by the search engines? An example would be includeget(DOT)com. Is it possible to rank for the phrase include get?
Obviously. Even with quotes (""). Domain names are not so important in SEO, they are titles of sites and keywords using anywhere else on the site, which are important. In SERPs you compete with a site, not wit a domain. Well, not even with a site, but with the page to be exact.
Google will allow you to rank for anything if you can do it. Look at "click here" that got Adobe Acrobat as #1 but does it do them any good?
Interesting... I never had difficulty quickly ranking a site for its own domain name. It does not even show up in the top 500. The site has backlinks, etc. An unrelated site was crawled a week ago, has about 50+ backlinks (not too many to start with) and has yet to have any pages appear in the index. Both are newer sites, and this makes me question the sandbox theory. If nothing else, the number of backlinks needed to get indexed may have recently increased. Yahoo has picked them both up, but they are not ranking well for any of their primary keywords. Thanks for your help.
I've said...they are not so important...regarding stop words. Someone can do some research and prove otherwise. There are some viewpoints from which domain can be important in SEO (I've discussed about this earlier here )
