    I'm looking to book a domain but should there be any keyword in the domain or just simply choose anyone?

    Having your best keyword(s) in your domain is a plus.

    Placing keywords in the domain name can help rank in search results but on its own it will have little if any effect unless it is backed by by relevant backlinks and content.

    hi,

    out of choice it is much better to have your keyword in your domain but, and it is a big but, unless this is backed up by other seo you may as well not have it!:eek:

    I agree with having your keyword in your domain, I will often choose a longer domain name just to have a keyword (or two) in it. Big advantage because you can get lots of link backs without it being spam, for example I have a site www.Portal4Health.com and lots of links come back as Portal 4 Health and that is nice for the term health portal.

    if you want to promote your brand or company name, you'd better use your brand or company name, if you only want let your product get good seo, use your product name.

    You'll get a small boost because the domain name is one the items in the google algorithm. But the biggest benefit I've found is that when people link to your site because they like your content they often use your domain name as the link text. That puts your keywords in their link text.
