    Hi guys,

    just a quick one from me here, i currently run a website that promotes online gaming in the uk and europe such as casino games, poker, slots etc

    i was just wondering if registering a domain related to the keyword i'm trying to target will help me bring in more traffic?

    the keyword i'm targeting is 'uk online casino' and i have paid to have some seo work done and advertising etc, the domain is currently http://www.onlinegaming4u.co.uk/ but not receiving that much traffic. if i was to register another domain along the lines of http://www.ukonline-casinos.eu/ would this help bring in more traffic when listed with search engines

    thanks in advance for any advice / comments

    Alan

    In order to get traffic to the new site you would have to build, add content, promote, and link-build just as much as you do with your original domain. The decision is whether to split your effort between 2 similar domains or just focus on building one. Just registering a new domain and pointing it at the old one will not generate more traffic.

    You could try buying a few old domains long the same lines, ones that have some link history - but it won't really bring in any sort of valued traffic - better off spending your cash on advertising
