A Good Domain Name

JoeBlack · 2006-09-02, 04:08 PM

I was doing a little catch up reading of the GG&J email newsletters and I came across one that talks about how choosing a domain with the keyword in it instead of a domain that would be good for marketing reasons such as a domain thats easy to remember can increase your rankings in the search engine.

The full newsletter can be found here towards the bottom.

I myself have found that using keywords in domain names does help in some search engines but it has not led me to believe that it isnt possible to get there without them by viewing search engine results. I find that there is more of a mix with domains with keywords and those without.

What I would like to know is if anyone has tested this theory out and found it to be true.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=porn 2 keyword domains
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=free+porn 1 keyword domain
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=porn+stars 3 keyword domains

out of the top 10 search results.

I may be wrong but one of my possible theories as far as adult domains goes is that it might help not to have the keyword in the domain name. That way google can not just classify you as an adult link site without reviewing your content with greater detail. This is just a theory that I will be testing in the next few months.

Any input on the subject would be helpful.
