"The" in domain name

Hi,

What do you think about "the" stopword in domain name? Is it good for SEO?

 

Not unless "the" is part of the keyword phrase you are targeting.

 

I think it would be useless to include 'the' as it would just make the name longer without any real benefit!
People generally take help of such word... only when their desired single word or keywords is not available and they combine 'the' with it to pass through!

I have a great keyword, but domain with keyword isn't available. Available is only domain with "the" stopword!

 

Maybe to try with some other addition to the name like "24" or "365"?

 

.in domain is available for very cheap rate ... just check in google search..

 

There is no harm in going ahead and registering it. 'The' is lot better than any other crap word which at times one has to combine... to just get the desired keyword!

That could be good idea. However that can make domain name long.

 

i think a domain is not useing for seo,you use the domian is for the people to find you,so i think tou can get a comfortable domian to buillding a site~just that~~you get a domain is first for people~~!

 

From an SEO stand point it isn't too bad.

If there is an option to register "whatever.net" vs "thewhatever.com", I'd probably opt for "whatever.net".
