Hi guys, I am in the process of starting up a new business. Whilst picking the right domain I am adding two highly searched words but cannot get these on their own due to the popularity of the industry. I was thinking of adding a third word on the end or beginning but was wondering if this would affect the integrity of the url Examples: www.(word1)(word2)today.com www.new(word1)(word2).com I hope this makes sense and I look forward to your responses. Kind regards, Chris
You must use "today" or "new" in domain name? I wanna to say i think you should keep your domain name short.
It would be 3 words in total and if I want to use the main 2 key words then I must add an additional one unfortunately. I still do not believe this to be too long as one of the main words is only 3 letters. Thank you for your response though.
It is not going to make that big of a difference either way. The SEO weight of a domain name is minor relative to content, links and on-page SEO; look around the top sites in any industry and tell me what you see -- keyword domains, or quality sites? Here's a list of what I call "derivative" domain combinations, using common search modifiers -- obviously [kw] is the keyword you are targeting. I've made successful sites on domains across the board on this list, and all of them add what inexperienced or "by the book" domainers and SEOs would say is too much length to them. Frank (obviously, not all keywords work for all domains ... out of the list I'll usually find 5-10 good-sounding potentials and register 1 or 2 of them) 1-800-[kw].com adjustable[kw].com advanced[kw].com [kw]aid.com american[kw].com american[kw]expo.com american[kw]show.com anonymous[kw].com [kw]answer.com [kw]art.com [kw]auctions.com autumn[kw].com bargain[kw].com [kw]bargains.com basic[kw].com beginniner[kw].com beginners[kw].com beginning[kw].com best[kw].com beyond[kw].com [kw]bid.com bigger[kw].com [kw]blog.com [kw]blogger.com [kw]blogging.com [kw]blueprint.com [kw]blueprints.com [kw]book.com [kw]books.com british[kw].com [kw]buddy.com build[kw].com buy[kw].com [kw]cabin.com [kw]cast.com [kw]catalog.com celebrity[kw].com [kw]center.com [kw]central.com cheap[kw].com [kw]cheap.com [kw]city.com classic[kw].com clean[kw].com [kw]clean.com [kw]closeout.com closeout[kw].com [kw]closeouts.com [kw]comfort.com [kw]comparison.com [kw]comparisons.com control[kw].com [kw]control.com correct[kw].com craft[kw].com [kw]crafts.com create[kw].com [kw]creations.com cure[kw].com [kw]cure.com [kw]cures.com [kw]dating.com [kw]deal.com [kw]deals.com deluxe[kw].com [kw]direct.com direct[kw].com [kw]directions.com discount[kw].com [kw]discounts.com [kw]diy.com diy[kw].com [kw]doctor.com [kw]doctors.com doityourself[kw].com [kw]download.com [kw]dvd.com [kw]dvds.com e[kw].com easy[kw].com ebook[kw].com effortless[kw].com eliminate[kw].com [kw]expo.com extreme[kw].com fall[kw].com [kw]faq.com fast[kw].com find[kw].com [kw]finder.com first[kw].com fix[kw].com [kw]fix.com [kw]forbeginners.com [kw]forsale.com [kw]forum.com free[kw].com free[kw]online.com fun[kw].com [kw]fyi.com [kw]games.com gay[kw].com get[kw].com getridof[kw].com [kw]gifts.com [kw]girl.com [kw]girls.com global[kw].com great[kw].com [kw]guarantee.com guaranteed[kw].com [kw]guide.com [kw]help.com [kw]helper.com [kw]history.com historyof[kw].com home[kw].com hot[kw].com howto[kw].com howtomake[kw].com [kw]info.com [kw]information.com instant[kw].com [kw]instructions.com [kw]insurance.com international[kw].com internet[kw].com [kw]investment.com ilove[kw].com [kw]investing.com [kw]jobs.com kids[kw].com kill[kw].com [kw]key.com [kw]law.com [kw]lawyer.com less[kw].com [kw]less.com [kw]list.com [kw]loan.com [kw]loans.com local[kw].com lookfor[kw].com [kw]love.com make[kw].com makemoneyin[kw].com makemoneywith[kw].com [kw]market.com [kw]marketer.com [kw]marketing.com more[kw].com [kw]movie.com [kw]movies.com [kw]music.com mystery[kw].com [kw]mystery.com natural[kw].com new[kw].com old[kw].com [kw]online.com online[kw].com [kw]opolis.com order[kw].com [kw]page.com [kw]pages.com [kw]pain.com [kw]patch.com [kw]patrol.com personal[kw].com [kw]pictures.com [kw]plan.com plan[kw].com planet[kw].com [kw]planet.com [kw]pod.com [kw]porn.com [kw]porno.com [kw]posters.com prevent[kw].com [kw]prevention.com [kw]prices.com [kw]problem.com [kw]protector.com purchase[kw].com quick[kw].com [kw]quick.com [kw]quickly.com quickly[kw].com quicker[kw].com [kw]quicker.com [kw]quotes.com [kw]ratings.com rebuild[kw].com [kw]recipe.com recoveringfrom[kw].com [kw]recovery.com [kw]relief.com [kw]remove.com [kw]repair.com [kw]remedy.com [kw]report.com [kw]revealed.com revealed[kw].com richer[kw].com [kw]sales.com secret[kw].com [kw]secrets.com sell[kw].com setup[kw].com [kw]setup.com [kw]sex.com sexier[kw].com sexy[kw].com [kw]sexy.com [kw]shop.com shopfor[kw].com [kw]shopping.com [kw]show.com smaller[kw].com smart[kw].com [kw]software.com [kw]solution.com solve[kw].com [kw]sources.com [kw]spider.com [kw]spot.com spring[kw].com [kw]store.com [kw]stores.com [kw]symptoms.com summer[kw].com the[kw]site.com [kw]tech.com [kw]tip.com [kw]tips.com top[kw].com [kw]town.com [kw]training.com [kw]travel.com undisclosed[kw].com [kw]underground.com underground[kw].com unknown[kw].com unpublished[kw].com unrevealed[kw].com [kw]video.com video[kw].com [kw]videos.com [kw]ville.com [kw]web.com web[kw].com wholesale[kw].com [kw]wholesale.com winter[kw].com wireless[kw].com [kw]withoutlawyers.com xxx[kw].com [kw]xxx.com [kw]for[x].com [y]for[kw].com
Another thing you can do is to used "stop words" in the domain. These are words like: the, a, in, at, etc and they are generally ignored by google.
Thanks for that reply, i'll go ahead and buy the domain that I have been looking at. I really appreciate your time.
3 words in your domain name is generally not a good idea. It looks too spammy (or maybe it's just me?) Can't you think of anything more brandable? Can't you buy a shorter keywordkeyword.net . org or something domain?
I know AdSense ads are sensitive to the domain name, at least, initially. I put ads on my www.FastJobHunt.com and the ads instantly started showing job related ads.
