Rekisteröidy ilmaisen kokeiluversion meidän Market Samurai Hakusanat Tutkimus-ja SEO ohjelmisto
Laittakaa ilmainen kokeiluversio!Viime päivinä olemme saaneet yli 500 kommentteja SEO ja verkkotunnuksia - ja satoja upeita kysymyksiä muun muassa ...
- Onko sillä väliä, onko meillä. Com,. Net,. Biz,. Org, (jne) SEO varten?
- Jos tärkein avainsanasi domain on mennyt, mikä vaikutus käyttämällä yhdysmerkkejä?
- Onko joilla hakusanan laaja verkkotunnus on yhtä paljon arvoa kuin tarkan haun avainsana verkkotunnuksen?
- Mikä on paras käytäntö lisätä sanan alussa tai lopussa verkkotunnuksen / lause - mikä on parempi?
- olisiko järkevää rekisteröidä verkkotunnus kärkikolmikkoon TLD: n vain pitää kilpailijat loitolla?
Tänään aiomme vastata kaikkiin näihin kysymyksiin (ja enemmän) - ja päästä käytännön pähkinät ja-pultit siitä, miten optimoida verkkotunnuksen SEO.
Ennen kuin teemme, haluan esitellä sinulle Kenny Goodman . Tulevina päivinä, Kenny'S sitoutunut jakamaan joitakin hänen "street Älykäs" noin verkkotunnuksia ja SEO ja miten hän saa noin [avoimesti] naurettavaa tuotot toimialueet ja SEO.
Kenny Goodman, ja Getting Tulokset Domains
Kenny alunperin teki rahaa dominoi johtaa sukupolven puolella joitakin kaikkein hyper kilpailua teollisuuden ympärille - Finance, Televiestintä, yökerhot (edistää Ministry of Sound seurojen Yhdistyneessä kuningaskunnassa) ja jopa Ohita vuokraus (Dumpster Rental). Kaksi yrityksistä hän on luonut tähän mennessä on arvostettu yli 10.000.000 dollaria.
Se on kautta johtaa sukupolven, joka Kenny hioi taitojaan noin SEO, ja SEO verkkotunnuksia.
Verkkotunnukset kuin "Virtual Real Estate"
Samaan aikaan, Kenny alkoi kohdella aloilla kuten kiinteistö nähtyään hän voisi saada parempaa tuottoa hänen aloihin kuin hänen tiili-ja laasti ominaisuudet - osto-, remontointi, sekä rakentaa verkkotunnukset - sitten vuokraamalla tai myymällä niitä suuria voittoja .
- Eräässä tuoreessa kauppa Kenny osti 69 dollaria verkkotunnuksen, ja myi sen sisällä viikon 25.000 dollaria - 36132% Sijoitetun pääoman tuotto (kokeile että kiinteistö!)
- Toisessa hän osti £ 500 (Yhdistynyt kuningaskunta) domain, mutta se sijoittui ensimmäisellä sivulla Google, ja sitten myydä se £ 12000 (joka on nopea voitto yli 17.000 dollaria dollaria eli 2300% Sijoitetun pääoman tuotto.)
(Hän käyttää ainutlaatuista strategiaa hankkia verkkotunnuksissa, vuokraa sitä suuria yrityksiä kuukausimaksua vastaan ansaiten itselleen terve jatkuva kassavirta kustakin verkkotunnuksen myymisen sijasta verkkotunnuksen kertaluonteinen maksu - vaan saada tätä strategiaa, sinun täytyy ply hänelle pullo hyvää punaviiniä.)
Kenny on auttanut meitä koota useita videoita verkkotunnusten ja SEO että (toivottavasti) saat hyvän käsityksen siitä, miten Kenny valitsee, paljastaa ja tuotot verkkotunnuksia.
Tänään haluan kertoa teille kaksi ensimmäistä videota ...
Domain Name SEO 101

Keskeinen painopiste tämä video on kriittinen ero tarkka haku Ilmaushaku ja Laaja haku optimoitu verkkotunnuksia, ja miten hakukoneet antavat Tarkka haku optimoitu aloilla korkeampi rankings.
Ymmärtäminen Domain Name SEO - Vastaukset kysymyksiisi
Tässä toisessa video Kenny tullaan kysymyksiin ottaa suoraan hiljattain blogin kommentit - ja selittää monet keskeiset käsitteet on tärkeää tietää milloin olet optimoimalla verkkotunnuksia.
Tämä toinen video keskitytään kysymyksiin:
Tässä video Kenny tarjoaa omaa kokemustaan ympärille avaintekijöitä ja miten he ovat antaneet hänelle parempia tuloksia, ja antaa ohjeita kiertää jotkin enemmän kiivasta keskustelua pisteitä ympäri verkkotunnuksen optimointi.
Seuraavassa blogi, aiomme tarkastella joitakin erityisiä strategioita Kenny on käytetty löytää monia hänen tuottavimpien aloilla. Varmista, että olet tullut takaisin, että yksi.

Useimmat varmasti
Yksi asia, jota haluaisin nähdä piiriin on todellinen tärkeysjärjestykseen hankintaan kaikkein SEO optimoitu domain name.
Esimerkiksi - paras verkkotunnukset järjestyksessä:
1 - keyword.com
2 - keywordsuffix.com
3 - avainsanoilla suffix.com
4 - keyword.org
5 - avainsanoilla suffix.org
6 - prefix-keyword.com
ja jne jne.
Listat kuten nämä voi varmasti tehdä eroa kun kilpailevat verkossa tänään, koska se antaa meille tehokkaan oikotien tulokset olemme kaikki jahtaavat - kuten ohjelmisto!

Hi Derek - Suuri pisteen ja yhden olen pitänyt, mutta kun myydä verkkotunnuksen tai verkkosivuilla joku Haluan vain myyntiin.

Toivottavasti tämä auttaa

Candee vastasi:
Olen täysin samaa mieltä. Jokainen guru siellä touts miljoonat he tekevät verkossa, mutta he eivät koskaan näyttää sivustoja (tai tässä tapauksessa aloilla), jotka saivat heidät miljonäärejä. IMHO, he luultavasti kaikki saivat todella rikas myymällä info ihmisiä kuin me. Kuka tietää. Ehkä kukaan ei ollut päällä, mutta myynyt vain omiin "järjestelmän" rikastuvat internetissä. Jeremy Palmer on ainoa guru siellä, että todellakin oli joitakin sivustoja hän teki ja tekee rahaa.
Voin rehellisesti sanoa, että tiedot, jotka olen saanut yksinkertaisesti ostaa Market Samurai (joka on mahtava ohjelma) on joitakin parhaista olen koskaan ollut. Kirkas, ytimekäs, ymmärrettävä jopa newbie. Se on yksi parhaista sijoituksista mitä olen koskaan tehnyt, ja olen viettänyt tuhansia dollareita yrittää löytää salaisen tehdä rahaa verkossa. Se on ollut lähes viisi vuotta, ja olen yhä kaukana missä haluaisin olla. Toisin sanoen, en vieläkään voi lopettaa minun päivä työtä. Silti, mitä olen nähnyt tähän mennessä on nöyhtä kuin aineen olette jo huomauttaneet.

Carl vastasi:
Hyvä puhelu Candee, olen löytänyt saman liian ..
Tein katsella vids, ja kyllä ne olivat ok, mutta he eivät oikeastaan kerro paljon ... kaiken kuulin hänen sanovan jokaiselle oli "SEO yhteisö on erittäin kyseenalainen" - ei oikeastaan vakuuttava vastaus. Kenny, olisi parempi ehkä antaa joitakin tilastoja tai joitakin lukuja, miksi luulet, että on - tai mitä olet löytänyt työskennellä sinulle?
Huomaan usein, että ihmiset (etenkin IM niche) eivät selitä, miksi he tekevät asioita - vaikka ostaa heidän kursseja tai materiaaleja, he vain sanovat sinun ei tarvitse tehdä sitä tai tätä.
Kenny, olisi hyvä antaa miksi et tekisi jotain päälle jotain muuta. esim.. Haluan valita X tapa tehdä se, koska se on jatkuvasti päihitti, päihitti Y tapa tehdä asioita.
Tämä on mielestäni se siivota joitakin sekavan yksilöiden & aloittelijoille en niin usein siellä IM maassa.

Ajay sanoi:
Fantastic! Vuosien mittaan olen katsellut lukuisia keskusteluja yli kysymyksiin. Mitä aiemmin SEO postitse, uskon että on aivan totta. Rakensin sivusto, joka oli tarkka ottelu avainsanan, joka oli kilpailun monista viranomainen sivustoja, mutta ei paljon tarkka haku kilpailu.
Sitten asentanut WordPress, ja jätti sen yksin kahden viikon ajan (tekemättä mitään - en edes lisätä mitään uusia virkoja). Kun olen ollut indeksoitu, sain ensimmäisellä sivulla Google! Ei käänteisiä, ei sisältöä. Sniping avainsanat, joita etsitään ja tulevaisuudessa ja saada. Com suoralta kädeltä on hyvä tapa edetä.

Peter Rose sanoi:
Mitä jos piste com verkkotunnus koostuu 4 tai 5 sanaa ja silti ala on tarkka avainsana etsitään? Onko haittaa ottaa pitkä domain 18-25 sanoja? Olen löytänyt melko paljon avainsanoja, jos kyseinen verkkotunnus on käytettävissä kohtuullisen liikennettä ja kilpailua on vähän.

Näin minun rekisterinpitäjä (domainguru.net) on perustettu, en voinut käyttää Wordpress laittaa vähän sisältöä verkkotunnuksissa. Haluaisin pitää käyttää perus maksutta web ohjelmistojen kehittäminen. Jotenkin kun yritin tässä muutama vuosi sitten, niiden ohjelmistot ja tietokoneen taistelivat. Niiden ohjelmisto voitti ja se lukita tietokoneeseen. En ole tietokoneen taju, joten olen vain pudotti sen.
Voisin siirtyä verkkotunnuksia jossa minulla on tällä hetkellä minun toimivia web sivustoa (www.graphic-equipment.com), mutta ne vastaanottava 200 + verkkotunnuksia yhtäkkiä tuo 100 dollaria n dollareita kuukaudessa rahani panostusta.
Vain web ohjelmistojen kehittäminen että minulla ole aavistustakaan siitä, ja täytyy opetella, on FrontPage 2003.
Olen pitänyt yrittää oppia Joomla. Heillä pikkuilmoitukset ohjelma, joka olisi täydellinen käytettäväksi useita sivustoja, jotka haluan kehittää auttaa jälleenmyyjille / laitteiden omistajat markkinoida tietyn valmistajan / tuotetyypin.

Ken,
You can install Wordpress via Fantistico from most Control Panels in my experience, very easily. As stated before filling with minimal content to get the traffic for yourself rather than allowing the hosting company to profit. I certainly am not a webmaster but found Fantastico very simple to use coupled with Filezilla for FTP.

Ken,
Why don't you park them somewhere that YOU make money, like SEDO or Parked.com or some place. You are free to park your domains and make money from them.
What would make more sense, IMHO is to outsource this task and have informational blogs built on the domains and interconnect them, they are 10 years old.
Not knowing the CPC info or traffic numbers for your niche makes it hard to help, but a site with adsense stands to make you some money if it has information that people in that niche are looking for.
They will be also sell for more money with a site on them at this point in time. Again that is my opinion.

Ken Stein replied:
Rebecca:
Kiitos palautteesta. The last time I tried to point the domains to a site where I could “park and profit” the company did not even respond to my email. I tried to go through Google and they had just terminated their parking program. I am now looking at best options to pursue. Also later this weekend, I will take the time to look closely at your website.
The graphic arts/printing marketplace according to my out of date figures produced about $140 billion dollars in product each year.
There was approximately $8 billion dollars in equipment sold worldwide 3 years ago.
With the current economy, these figures are probably down by 15%.
It is a large marketplace.

Dave K said:
I was wondering what your thoughts are about domain names that are comprised of 2 words and that the last letter of the first word is the same as the first letter of the second word. If the pure domain name is not available, what about dropping the one letter in the middle of the domain name.
WeldingGas.com is a good example. That domain redirects you to WeldingMart.com, and that domain doesn't even show up on the 1st SERP. Would a domain name like WeldinGas.com do well?
On March 27th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Kenny Goodman replied:
If your target key phrase is “welding gas” then I would go for WeldingGas.com or other extensions if they are available. NOT WeldinGas.com this is optimised for the keyphras “weldin gas” which I'm sure no-one searches on

Bob Stephenson replied:
I have considered the same tactic on other niches/keywords, but decided against, as the keyword being typed in by a searcher is going to include both 'g' and not just the one. You may get some of the traffic from those that only put in 1 'g', but then google is now offering a 'did you mean' option for those that typed a querie incorrectly…needs to be the exact keyword.
Jay said:
Keyword density consideration in domain name gave me an idea. By the look of it, one who is in Washers industry should prefer domain name of topwashers.com to bestwashers.com.
Thanks for the tips on search engine optimization. Sometimes I wonder how search engines will respond to my web contents. I think you answered my question by pointing to the fact that whatever is natural and pleasing to human being is also good to the eyes of search engines.

On March 27th, 2010 at 6:43 am
Kenny Goodman replied:
You should also consider the actual word and how it looks to the human eye. If you are looking to create a brand then you don't want an awkward word that doesn't roll off the tongue well. You also need to consider whether the second word makes up a searchable key phrase. I'm sure more people search for “best washers” over “top washers”
James said:
Thank you for the video about Domain names and SEO. I wrote a tool to help people generate hundreds of names quickly.
The idea is to build a list, then paste the keyword only version into a keyword checker like the google keyword tool. You can quickly see what's available (using the godaddy bulk register link I provide to test hundreds of domains at once), and then cross check it against what has the best traffic value according to Google.
Thank you again for your great video about domain name research. It's well done.

So, if I was in the custom embroidery business, and CustomEmbroidery*com was not available, would I be better off with CustomEmbroidery*net or going after something like CustomizedEmbroidery*com even though “Customized Embroidery” might get only 10% the number of searches as “Custom Embroidery”?

Let me take an educated stab at this. There are many factors involved in this.
If it's a non competitive niche, maybe like a local one, keywords can dominate immediately and I mean as soon as the site is indexed.
If it's a very competitive niche than domain age will probably win out initially but then as time passes having keywords, especially exact match keywords, in the domain will win out.
Since you can't change how long your competitors have had their domains you may as well get an exact match .com, .net or .org as that is eventually likely to pay off.
May be worth buying one that is aged for quicker profits and then have another site on a domain with exact match keywords that will pay off a bit later.
Tietenkin linkit ovat hyvin tärkeitä, mutta ne ovat yhtä, pitkäaikaista, tarkka haku avainsanoja ylätason verkkotunnukset (. Com,. Org. Ja.

Hyvä artikkeli! Mielenkiintoista kuulla, että tulokset heijastavat radalla olen ollut 2 vuotta. Kuitenkin, mitä se kannattaa ... Itse olen sitä mieltä, että hakukoneen, kuten Google on lopullinen päämäärä miellyttää niiden asiakkaiden eli etsin. Siksi minusta tämä voi osoittautua lyhytikäisen tilaisuuteen tykkää Google varmasti saalis mahdollisten "domain väärinkäytösten estämiseksi".
Esim. jos sivusto nimeltä "marketsamurai.com" on paljon parempi SEO sisältö ja yhteys selkänsä kuin sanoa "seotipsandtricks.com", niin varmasti Googlen Lopullisena tavoitteena on laittaa paremmin sivusto (marketsamurai) edessä etsimen.
Jos Google pitää se etsijä onnellinen, niin Google tekee enemmän rahaa.

help with 2 ?s. Per Kenny's video, is it okay to have a dash in the domain. ie. http://www.hire-car.com instead of http://www.hirecar.com .
Also, if I found a 10 year old domain, that had basically no links and had been asleep, then blogged on it for 6 months, would it be a lot better than if I used a newly registered domain?
Any help with these 2 ?s would be great, or sites to go to.

Thank you guys for this training – it certainly answered some of my questions.
Can't wait to hear what Kenny has to say about aged domains – I've been reading up on this topic for a while now – especially buying aged domains with high PR. The only problem is that the service that helps you to find these high PR aged domains is rather expensive to use. I hope he will come up with a better idea or source to use for this.
Can't wait!
Oh, I would also like to hear your opinion on the question asked by BeddingBedspreads ie In your experience is the keyword in the domain name, more or less important as the domain age?

I had the idea of combining two or more niche keyword phrases in one domain name to save the effort promoting and traffic increase.
For example, if one niche keyword phrase is “juicy oranges” and another “fresh oranges”, i thought to combine them in domain “freshjuicyoranges.com” to get the traffic for both phrases.
From the last video I understood that its not as brilliant idea as I initially thought, though this very case wasn't really discussed.
Would you guys give your opinion about the viability of such trick please?

Kiitos tästä. Hearing it from kenny adds extra weight to the impact. From my observation google just ignores the hypens so any number is ok but BUT try telling an audience that your url is something-something-something-something.com; it doesent work they cant remember it. But if that is a direct match for a keyword phrase that you want seo traffic for and you don't care about BRANDING then a direct match hypenated will out weigh anything with a prefix or suffix. (all else bing considered).
By the way The videos are Most Excellent. Straight to the point not a wasted word and at 10min for the longest nice and short and viewable. Try watching a howie schwartz video some time wafflw waffle info waffle waffle info 30 minutes later the audience have left the room.

Rob said:
Thanks for the valuable info.
Robert said:
Great videos. Thanks for that. I know he mentioned using dashes and using prefixes and suffixes, but which one do is better?
If .com, .org, and .net are taken for exact match what is the next best?
Is it better to go for:
1) .info/.biz,.us etc
2) Use a domain name with dashes with a .com, org, .net
3) Use a prefix/Suffix with a .com, .org, .net
Which of those three are better?
Also he mentioned keyword density. With his explanation it's the percentage of the match, so wouldn't it be best to only us one letter or number to add to the keyword? Such as adding/subtracting the 's' or adding a number?
Thanks, I appreciate and enjoyed the videos!
Maggie said:
does the order of the key word matter eg, I am selling track shoes and I want the domain runfast.com which is not available but fastrun.com is available. They obviously MEAN different things, but how would google look at that ?
On March 28th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Jason Muir replied:
Hi Maggie,
Have you considered another Domain name?…
Broad match search for 'Run Fast' = 165,000 searches/month.
I think this is why you want the term 'Run Fast'….
Remember, Kenny mentioned Broad match as 'Keyword' + 'a different word' + 'Keyword'.com (or .org, .etc..)
When you do an exact match on 'Run Fast', it is searched only 2400 times per month. However, 'How to Run Fast' is searched nearly twice this amount-4400 times per month.
So I think 'How To Run Fast' may be worth considering? That domain name actually indicates that you have the answers for their slow running problem as well!
howtorunfast.com is taken, but howtorunfast.org & .net are still available.
Hope this helps Maggie…Jason.

This information was timely believe it or not. Very good video's…right to the point. As Kenny pointed out, some of it is debatable.
Here is what I'd like to know. When you are doing CPA offers, you most times have to use a trademark name, in your main domain name. I'm not sure whether it is legal to use it by just adding a – hyphen or prefix, or suffix. But when you add say a suffix for instance on the end, shouldn't you be concerned about how much traffic that modified keyword is generating? Some that I have seen, and tried to use, did not have much. Isn't your main domain keyword supposed to drive traffic when you type it into Google?

Bob Stephenson said:
Great videos and information. One thing not mentioned is that Google does not recognize the hyphen in an URL, but will treat it as a space, which is good for the keyword, but not for searches remembering the exact spelling of a site name…most searchers will not remember to type in the hyphen when searching, but will just type in the words without the hyphen and therefore many times be sent to one of your competitors who has a URL without the hyphen.
If off-page SEO is done enough and correctly, then your page with a hyphenated URL will get some visitors because they are clicking on the link(with the hyphen), and not having to remember to type it in with a hyphen.
We all want the one word .com's, but using a 2 word keyword URL is not all that bad either. Onnea
Phil Rigby said:
Kenny is spot on re incorporating your keywords into the domain name(s) of your site(s).
The two domain names I use to promote my mother's book are at no. 1, and no. 5, on Google, as of now.

Thanks, and in particular the use of prefix vs suffix. It would seem to me that the suffix better if it fits, allowing the keyword to appear first, and not a long suffix either, as the keyword density appears to be important. That's the first I had heard of or considered such. Very good. Thanks again. I appreciate the inside, technical info, rather than just fluff.

Great .info kenny & brent, i always appreciated hearing from experienced people. I never thought much about keyword density in the domain name percentage wise. Also i remember reading somewhere a discussion about using an underscore vs a hyphen what would be the difference in that case?
On March 28th, 2010 at 12:10 am
Brent Hodgson replied:
Sadly, it's not possible to buy a domain name that contains an underscore.
A to Z. 0 to 9 and hyphen (-) character are the only characters allowed in domain names.
When it comes to URLs as opposed to domain names (eg example.com/your_webpage where you CAN use underscores) in general, it's historically been best to use hyphens over underscores though because it's helped some of the not-quite-as-smart-as-Google search engines distinguish between words better.
Toivottavasti tämä auttaa.

…and no doubt some similar keywords in the market that you can target too – where you might be able to get a better quality domain for a similar (potentially not quite as high-traffic) keyword…
dog obedience training, puppy training courses, etc
Toivottavasti tämä auttaa.
On March 28th, 2010 at 2:32 am
Lane replied:
A lot does depend on your keyword and traffic research.
If I found “dog training guide” had lots of searches and low competition than I wouldn't hesitate to go for dogtrainingguide.net or any of the hyphenated domains you suggest above.
For me I prefer http://www.dog-training-guide .(com, net or org) to the other hyphenated domains as it looks better to people and is a bit easier to remember. As I mentioned I haven't had a problem with hyphenated domains (even with more than one hyphen) ranking at all.
I guess I could be wrong here and maybe it's better to go with one hyphen but nothing has convinced me that's true yet.
Even in Kenny's video he doesn't offer any proof and only says it's what he's heard. (I'm not challenging or putting Kenny down in any way by that comment. I appreciate the information and the work you done in making the videos for us.)
I've also HEARD this from many other very reputable people too but they've always presented it as what they've heard or a hunch or maybe even just a recommendation to be on the safe side. No one has offered any proof of this. (I know many times with SEO what is said has a basis based on experience even though it was never really tested to get the proof.)
I wonder if we are all worried, or maybe even getting superstitious, about Google (and the others) not liking hyphens when they really may just totally ignore them. I mean they ignore punctuation when displaying search results. (This deserves to be tested.)
OK, I'm wrong, but only by a hair. I just did a search on 'dog training guide' and 'dog-training-guide'. All the top 10 listings are the same.
The only difference is that 8th & 9th listings on the results page were switched.
Also with 'dog-training-guide' Google added an 11th listing that was video results at the bottom of the page.
Also the number of results went from 17,900,000 to 17,000,000 when I added the hyphens.
The results were pretty much the same as to the top 10 results when I did the same two searches in quotes.
I tried this with a few other search terms. It seems to hold true with the few I did except when Google perceives I want to buy something and then they throw in a shopping results in the 3rd or 4th spot, above the fold. That is a lesson with it's own repercussions on it's own.
Now as Brent says, if I found that “dog training tips”, “best dog training”, “advanced dog training”, “natural dog training” had as good or close to the traffic to competition ratio (high search volume – low competition) as “dog training guide” and the http://www.exactkeyword.com of one of those was available I'd certainly go with that too. And as he says I think you are quite likely to find another one that is as good or even better when you take into consideration his suggestion about finding similar keywords in the market maybe like puppy training.
All that having been said if I thought the volume to competition ratio was best on “dog training guide” I still wouldn't hesitate to go with that and use even a number of hyphens.
The more I think about this though this conversation from one angle is a bit idiotic because the real power of this whole technique is to and build them out and not worry about it.
You'll without doubt make 5 times as much money with 5 domains as you will with one, of course that will be relative to the traffic volume to competition ratio of each domain. Obviously you must choose wisely.

Some of this was great.
In reality, there is lots of guess work.. and lots of
opinions and unknowns. When the discussed move beyond .com and
.de, most of the other (except for obvious things like
multiple hypens) are gray areas and NO one knows.
Only the SERPS (especially the big G) determine.
OK said:
Thank you for sharing, guys.
Yes, those rules are highly utilized by top performing affiliates of our network.
What I would be interested to hear your take on is words versus numeric symbols in the domain name (if the added word doesn't create optimized phrase but makes the domain too long).
For example:
let's say GetLaid.com is taken
so, instead of registering GetLaidAnyTime.com (long) it can be getlaid101.com or GetLaid1st.com LOL
How do search engine evaluate it?

Some tell us to have the main keyword phrase as the domain name, with no spaces, while others argue that if it is done with no spaces Google views it as one word and does not consider the phrase as part of the domain. Which one is true? Kiitos.

Google (specifically) has become very good at detecting English words in URLs. Other search engines, and other languages, I'm not so sure about – but certainly Google is very clever when it comes to knowing what words you have in your domain.
Having said that – sometimes there's a very good branding reason for hyphenating your domain name…
One famous example is “expertsexchange.com”

This is the first time that you have produced content that is terrible !
His country specific domain advise was ” they can be quite good ”
Wow how amazingly insightful.
There are so many elements to this single thread about country specific domains that you just whitewashed over including the fact that owning a country specific domain will lock you into a country registry, you don't want a .com.au if you have aspirations of growing outside your box.
You will struggle to rank a .co.nz domain in Australia or a .co.uk in the USA but you will get a huge leg up in that country !
This is a domaineer doing nothing more than promoting .coms – I love .coms they are by far away the best domain extension for dozens of reasons but the idea of most people buying a 100% keyword match to a good volume keyword/s is LONG gone, hence the interest in so what do next ?
I would rather a 100% keyword matched alternative than a 4 broad match .com every day of the week.
Terrible post gentlemen, I hope you go back to your regular standards and loose this so called expert ….

I wanted add something to my comment, I realized if I am going to slam this content I need to finish my remarks and provide value myself.
If you are looking to create a business in only one country and NEVER NEVER plan to expand that business outside of the one country you should always choose a country specific domain.
With all else being equal a .com.au will outrank a .com because of the bias that Google gives country specific domains. Just make sure you understand that you are painting a box that you can never breakout of the bias runs the other way if your talking about getting a country specfic domain to show up in another country.
Both solutions have merit it is up to you to choose the right scenario for you.
That said, this post all started with Market Samurai talking about the bias of exact match domains which I completely agree with the thread has transformed in phrase match domain names and even broad match these are not the same and dont have the bias first commented on by Market Samurai.

It might be worth considering that there is only so much scope of what to cover in a few short videos. As far as I can tell, no one is claiming that these videos are covering every angle, but rather beginning to reveal some of the opportunities (for those who weren't previously aware they existed) and considerations you might want to take into account when choosing domain names.
Kenny makes the point that if your niche is country specific ccTLDs are a great option – there are considerations with SEO, brand-ability, trademarks etc.
The whole 'domain issue' is a potential can of worms, because there are so many considerations. For Kenny (or Brent) to bust that open with out consideration for the beginner (many users of market Samurai would be considered beginners) would be foolish and would only generate overwhelm and confusion, not to mention more unhelpful comments like your original one.
Clearly there is a bigger picture here and pieces of the puzzle are being revealed in bite sizes to make them digestible. You might not have learned anything (yet) but that doesn't make this “terrible” content – just read the vast majority of the comments.
You clearly have some knowledge/experience in this area, but there's a lot of people that don't and maybe, just maybe they are the target audience here… just saying.

Brent Hodgson replied:
Victor – you are SO SO SO right with what you say about Country Specific domain names.
If someone is looking to target a specific country, it will give them a ranking boost… But it will limit their ability to rank in other countries.
(If people are reading these comments, and want some more advanced content, have a look at what Victor says about ccTLDs)
Sadly, Donal's also got a point – Country-Specific SEO and Domain Names could be a whole second series of blog posts and videos by itself.
Even though Kenny touched on it briefly by saying that he would only consider ccTLDs if someone's business is only limited to a single country, I don't think any 10-minute video is really going to do that topic justice. And before we can get to those sort of advanced topics, we need to cover the basics to make sure everyone's up to speed on the fundamentals of domain name SEO.
Criticism taken on board though – and maybe we can get Kenny to agree to cover this topic for us in another set of videos.
Anyway – again – if people are reading through the comments, make sure you take a look at what Victor says about .com.au's (etc).
Victor – in the mean-time, (until we have some more advanced content on country-specific domain optimization,) do you want to help bring people up to speed, and help answer any questions people have around this here?

Victor replied:
Sure thank you for the opportunity to add something to the conversation.
I am happy to write a more detailed post on the subject if you like but in the short term this is a slightly expanded view on Country Specific Domains and SEO biasing.
1, Google maintains a lot of different data centers around the world ( best estimation is more than 50 ) as such the SERP results are different in every country and often they are even different from different locations in the same country ( particularly the US where they have at least 20 separate data centers.
So SERP results are different from Australia to the USA and from the UK to NZ – this is not only true for google.com.au but also if you are using google.com and are located in Australia.
2, As Google's objective is to provide the best most relevant search results to its users it places significant bias weighting on a local domain in a local data centre after all if I am in Australia there is a good probability I want to see results biased to that country.
You can also increase local bias by having a local address of registration on your domain, ie if you own a .com but your registered address is Australia you get pushed in the Australian data centre. This might not seem like a big deal but if you live in Thailand like I do and make my living in the US data centres it matters a lot, I don't care about local data centre and don't want to be biased there so I need to correct that bias in other ways.
A third bias is felt by including a local address in contact details in the content of your website however the greatest bias is to have a local country extension.
A great working example of this is the original thread that starting this conversation, try searching for “credit cards” at google.com.au and you will see all the heavy weight com's are gone and they are replaced by predominately .co.au's that have no where near the SEO Authority but they are biased to appear in the SERP's anyway.
BTW the advanced search functionality button on the right hand side of the google.com search box allows you to explore how the SERP's change from one country data center to another.
So the basic rule is if you only ever intend to operate in your local market buy the local extension they will beat a global generic domain hands down but be warned getting a local extension to play in an alternative data centre is a loosing battle so choose wisely with an eye on the future.
PS as an aside a lot is made of duplicate content, duplicate content is “per data center” so you can have basically totally duplicate content on several sites in several data centres getting the local bias in each and not be penalized.
A good example of this are Bruce Clay Sites ( no I am not connected in anyway its just an observation ) they have identical content on dozens of country specific domains designed to leverage exactly this phenomenon ie get a leg up the local SERP's
Since we are talking about US and Australia check out http://www.bruceclay.com/ and http://www.bruceclay.com.au/ they are identical but separate sites, they have the same for at least 6 countries and they are not duplicate content.
Its a lot of work and definitely not for beginners but its an interesting observation of the country specific bias being used in the real world.

I wish there had been more info, but still great to have. Increasingly the dot-com names are gone, and even some of the dot net and dot org. If you have a site for a long time, make sure it stays paid up. It can end up taken by another person, if you don't.
My own guess is that domain squatters will gradually go away. By now most of the “names” have been taken. Besides which if trademarked, names go to the trademark holder. Moral, if in doubt, trademark your name.

Great video and very concise, also good to hear Keenys view on .com.net.org. I have always been taught that this was the hierarchal order for purchasing domains. I also liked the fact that if we are selling into a local market to have the .au, .uk appended to the domain. I have noticed that there are a number of domains now having the suffix .tv attached to the domain keyword. Where does this rank in order of preference?
Thanks again for the videos, I believe buying MS was one of my best purchases online. Jatkakaa hyvää työtä.

A nice little tip: if you have a number of keywords within your niche that meet the criteria of what your searching for
- Kopioi ne tekstiin doc ja poista välilyönnit

- Kopioi kaikki avainsanat ja liitä irtotavarana verkkotunnuksen hakutoiminto (esimerkiksi http://godaddy.com/domains/searchbulk.aspx), napsauta asianmukaista laajennuksia.
- Sitten kun ne, jotka ovat käytettävissä palata sitten takaisin markkinoille samurai ja nähdä, mikä näistä on kannattavin avainsanan verkkotunnuksen.

Olen pahoillani siitä niin paljon sanottavaa tätä säiettä, mutta se on todella tärkeä aihe, ja niin väärin, että tämä on loistava tilaisuus selvittää monia harhaluuloja asiasta.
Google on ohjelma, joka esityslista on tarjota käyttäjilleen parhaan hakuun mahdollisen kokemuksen.
Siksi se on missä se on tänään, jokainen keho tietää että ne ei keksinyt haku he vain tehneet sen toimimaan paremmin. Muistan, kun he käynnistivät syystä he kiinni mieli osuus johtuu käärme on ne esittänyt jossa paljon uskottavampi kuin yksikään kilpailija kerrallaan.
Se oli heidän "pätevyys prosessi", jotka tekivät käärme uskottavalla ja yli viimeiset 10 vuotta hän on työskennellyt jatkuvasti parantamaan tätä prosessia pyritään parantamaan standardin jokaisen käärme niihin liittyy.
Jokainen tekijä, joka menee tähän "peruspätevyysmenettelyyn" on skaalautuva miljoonien ja miljoonien sivustojen.
Jokainen tekijä, joka menee tähän "peruspätevyysmenettelyyn" johdetaan matemaattisesti, joka on ainoa keino se voi skaalata niin se tekee.
Jokainen tekijä, että tiedämme olla tosiasioihin seo on voitava selittää selkeästi ja loogisesti -
esim.
At kaikkein yksinkertainen taso määrää ja laatua käänteisiä sivuston on vaikuttaa sen valvonnassa tutkinnon prosessissa.
tai verkkotunnus, on ollut säännöllistä kehitystä ajan useita vuosia annetaan bias päälle uusi tuoreeltaan lyöty sivusto.
or a country specific domain is given bias over a domain from another country in a local datacentre.
or a 100% exact match between the users search and a domain URL is a good logical indicator of the “intent” of a domains content
All of these factors make perfect logical and mathematical sense.
However the idea that a .com or a .net or a .org is given preference just “because its a .com” holds no logic or basis in programming and there are no qualification factors that Google would possibly value that you “earn” by owing one of these domains over another.
I accept that some people have seen better or worse results between the various global TLD's but the reason is not in the TLD itself it is less obvious logic.
You guys are programmers like me, I know you understand all the biases mentioned above and why they exist as qualifiers, there are so many factors that could serve as potential qualifiers that have more logic than this argument, heck how long the domain was registered for has more merit in this discussion than if it was a .net or .org.
Register for 1 year and you look like your a fly by night “red flag possible spammer” but 5 years is a commitment – forget that – that is not my point just that thinking that you get advantage between three possible extensions at the point of registration is wishful thinking.
By all means buy a .com because it will increase in value quicker than any other extension or there is a larger resale market or for the type in traffic just don't buy it because other TLD's are penalised or rewarded by Google somehow just because they are not .com's or .net's or .org's
When it comes to global generic domains it is what comes before the dot that biases SEO and for very logical practial reasons, when the domain name matches the users search string perfectly Googles logic says maybe that domain needs to go into the short list for further qualification and consideration.
Carl said:
Kenny, your feedback would be great on the following -
What would be your order of preference on:
1) Keywords in domain (which is a given)
2) Domain age (if your purchasing a domain from someone)
3) Prefixes & Suffixes
4) TLD .org/.net.info/.mobi/.me etc
5) Purchasing an expired/existing domain over a new one
and any other items that are appropriate.
Kiitos

Agree 100%
Can I suggest that if you are going to explore this subject that you consider a visual matrix that shows the many possible combination of factors and how they relate to each other and trade off against each other in the experts opinion over selecting a domain for the primary purpose of SEO advantage.
There are so many factors that relate to biases on a domain they all need to be considered.and weighed and they influence each other.
Factors in the visual matrix might include
Keyword exact match, phrase match and broad match, age, all the various Global TLD's, Country LD's, the cost of buying a established .com – how much content and backlink building could you outsource for steps of $500, $1000, $5000 etc etc how does this weigh against a good generic .com – which would you rather own ? A 100% keyword matched .com or a .org with $5000 of backlinks built out ?
These are the question we are looking for anyone that is a Market samurai customer has probably been doing this for at least a little while and is past “a .com is best” “then a .net” “or maybe .org” – great advise 10 years ago, can we have some real world advise for real world sites.
This is a topic that is not discussed much past “buy a .com with keywords in the domain name” so some real meat would be great for readers.

I have a few dozen domains doing this right now, and most of them are now ranking on the front page of Google for their keywords – without actually doing anything to them for 6, 12, 18 months.

George said:
Maybe a good subject to intensify in a further post would the part with the international domain names. I find it important that a German version of a website should have an international domain name like at, de, or ch for that matter. It is far more effective to recreate the whole website on a different server with an appropriate country relevant domain name, than to have a multi-lingual website. The whole internet marketing gets easier because you can link each article to each other using text links. This will primarily cost a bit more because you make and pay for two sites instead of one but it will ultimately pay off over time.

Harry Thomson said:
Thanks Kenny. All Great advice.
I have two questions that I would appreciate you giving an opinion on:-
1. If a really good keyword “.com” name is found and it is thought prudent to buy the same “.org” and “.net” names to protect it should these last two be “parked” or “forwarded” to the website built using the “.com” name.
The reason I ask is that if the last two are “forwarded”, would Google view this as duplicate content and penalise the “.com” site?
2. All things being equal, and for SEO purposes, is it better to build a site using WordPress or a straightforward HTML site using say Dreamweaver or XSite Pro. I'm not thinking of a blog as such – just a single page salesletter type site which I believe can also be achieved using WordPress.
On March 28th, 2010 at 1:03 am
Brent Hodgson replied:
Hey Harry – I hope you don't mind me jumping in here.
Re: #1 – Absolutely!
If you're sitting on a great keyword dot com, grab the .org and .net too. (I think Kenny touched on this briefly at the end of one of the videos. I think I also recommended it at the bottom of one of the last blog posts as one of 4 action items.)
Once I have them, I forward them to my main .com.
I don't get much SEO benefit, and there's no risks of duplicate content because people are still landing on the .com (you're not duplicating the site on the .org and .net)
Re: #2 – I like Wordpress because it's quick and easy, but if any platform gets the fundamentals of SEO right (title tags, meta tags, search engine visible links, page slugs, etc) then it shouldn't really matter what platform you use.
Wordpress has a couple of side-benefits for SEO – but these mainly relate to blogging rather than sales pages.
Just one quick note – if you're putting up a one page website, check out Google's webmaster guidelines. They generally frown on very thin sites.

Hi Brent,
Thank you very much for your prompt and full response to the questions I asked.
Your advice is much appreciated and as a result I am now going to take action as per your advice.
The point about the “thin” site approach is particularly welcome and as a result of what you say I am going to build a WordPress blog around the great keyword I found using Market Samurai.
Boy, am I glad I found Market Samurai. It's by far the best online purchase I have ever made out of what probably amounts to a few thousand Pounds now over the past few years. I live in Scotland UK and something else I would like to say is that it's very refreshing to find a product that does what it says on the tin rather than the Yankee Doodle Dandy grossly over-hyped stuff from across the Atlantic.
PS
The video tutorials included within the product from Anthony and yourself are very enlightening and highly educational. By viewing them all (some two or three times) I feel I have expanded my knowledge of keywords greatly. AND I've discovered some of the other great tools like the website moneytisation module that I didn't even expect to get with a keyword tool.

Hei,
Brent, I have a question about your replies (in Comments #101 and #96). Can't I put up a 1 page site (using my own WP or HTML, SEOing the meta tags, etc.,) including a few sentences of relevant, unique content on the page, and put Adsense ads on it to generate $?
What I am describing here is “parking” my domain myself, instead of parking it at a parking company or with Google Adsense for Domains. Then I would get a higher % of the income.
Why would Google frown at that?
Kiitos
On March 28th, 2010 at 5:35 am
Brent Hodgson replied:
Good question, Fran.
There are two issues here..
The first is the minimum requirements of the content on your site that you need to meet before Google Adsense will allow you to display ads.
The second is ranking well, and getting traffic to your site.
In Google Adsense's guidelines, there's a requirement that you … “Create a useful, information-rich site and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.” So a single page Parking site is unlikely to meet these guidelines.
The second issue – getting rankings – that's a similar issue. In the same way that Google will reject sites from Adsense that do not provide a lot of value to the end user (ie lots of rich content), they will do whatever they can to avoid ranking sites that do not have lots of rich content.
So despite having a great domain name, you still need the fundamentals of SEO (links, content, etc) to get rankings. All a good domain name does is “magnify” your results.

Flo said:
What is the concensus on registering multiple domains for one website and parking them? Does the main domain name that the hosting was set up under gain the most value? And how much value do the other parked domain names really add to a website? Surely Google would figure out that somebody's collecing domains and therefore doesn't value them as much?

It would be interesting to see some controlled tests measuring what extension is better for SEO. In the end it doesn't matter what the SEO community thinks will rank well, only what actually ranks well.

What about the length of time you register your domains for? Does that play a role as well? I have *heard* that registering your domains for a minimum of 2 years tells Google that you are in it to stay and is not a spam site, and a 1 year renewal penalizes you.
Either way I have no idea whether its fact or fiction so what is your opinion and experience with this?

Peter said:
Nice easy to understand videos Kenny. Kiitos.
I think the statistics are harder.
In non competitive niches, the low hanging fruit goes to keyword rich domain names. I've seen all sorts of phrase match with modifiers for affiliate offers, rank well and constantly in the top 10.
I also see many niches where CONTENT ranks above a keyword rich domain which does not have content.
I also personally think that BRAND and easy memorable domains are more important to “people” who are the ones who “spend”, not Google.
So I think your money page is sensible and your keyword traffic sniffers could be as keyword rich as you can get, without looking spammy.
But it certainly seems that the early bird gets the worm.
The EXACT match domain owner with great content, should win the prime position. Assuming of course backlinks and so on…
I'm curious, has anyone seen a BAD SPELLING doman with LONG TERM ranking?
Nice one colonel sanders

Agreed that it's important to make sure you have the fundamentals (good content, links, etc). As I mentioned in a comment above, a good domain name will magnify these things – but it doesn't replace the need for content and links.
“I'm curious, has anyone seen a BAD SPELLING doman with LONG TERM ranking?”
No.
I used to have a domain that targeted a misspelling [bussiness instead of business] – but Google has closed most of those loopholes a long time ago – and I would have been better off focussing on a long term strategy for delivering value rather than trying to exploit an arbitrage opportunity.

Hi, I have a website with a 3 word keyword that I'm targeting. I wasn't able to get .com, .org or .net. so I added the google stop word 'the' as a prefix. How much do you think that that will affect me? In Market Samurai it is huge difference when analyzing them but in the real world will it really make a difference as I will still have an 83% keyword rich domain name.Does google even consider the 'stop word' because if not than I will have a 100% keyword rich domain.

Web Search Engine Optimization said:
Thank you guys for this video.
It explains very well the process for choosing an appropiate domain name for SEO.
I have just recommended the video on my site on web search engine optimization
George said:
These videos are great and extremely informative. I've been developing WP sites after taking the Google sniper course. All of the sites are exact match domains. I've made a practice out of scooping up the .org & .net if both are available and also the singular and plural variations if they are as well. Of course, this is worth doing if the search volume/competition factors are in line.
Given the stiff competition for exact match domains, I've been on a buying spree after having done the necessary niche homework. I've purchased over 140 domains and feel good that I have now a base of virtual assets in niches that are worthy of development. So, I now switched gears into site development mode. I have about 8 niches that I've developed a site for out of the 140.
Herein lies my problem. I understand the strategy of eventually developing all of the domain variations for a niche, but can't afford to do that right now. I've only been developing one of the sites even though I might have secured 1-4 domains for a given niche. It's a long term goal to develop them all. However, I'm not looking forward to the re-registration annual bill for these 140+ domains.
I'd like to understand how I can get these undeveloped domains to at least pay for their own renewal fees in the interum. I've heard that parking them at Sedo, etc doesn't even generate enough adsense money to pay for themselves. Does it cost money to park a site at one of these services?
Advice Appreciated

Hi my question is about the keywords included in the domains.
For example buysomething.com, net,org etc are tooken, how would be best for the search engines: somethingbuy.com or something-buy.com

JAMIE WORKMAN said:
Thank you- the videos are better than any of the books i have read on the subject!
Question: In terms of traffic when considering domain names should you be looking at the number of exact matches not phrase or broad of the keyword when doing your research? I get confused on permutations for example if cheapboats.com is not available would boatscheap.com be a good domain?
Appreciate your thoughts
Clive at BlogBriefing.com said:
Not wanting necessarily to rain on everyone's parade but there is something else to consider here ( and yes,I'm playing Devil's Advocate!)
How about the day comes when Google decides that Key Phrases in content and Meta Titles are more important than KWP Search terms in the Domain Name ( which we are all, for the most part, focusing on here).
ie Google decides that 'buybluewidgetsonline.com' should not necessarily get 'bonus' points for having the search term in the domain url?
Google, after all, continually state that they want to present their searchers with the most relevant content right? Just because a KWP is in the domain name doesn't necessarily mean the content is relevant to the search.
Let's face it every IM person is trying to find Keyword rich domain names!
Think of all those Squidoo lenses and Wordpress.com sites etc. etc all fighting to get the KWP in the domain name to promote that latest IM offering. How hard ( or easy) would it be for Google to simply take that out of their ranking equation?
See what I'm saying here?
We've all got a bit complacent on this particular SEO factor I think and our SEO bubbles could be burst at any time if that's all we focus on.
Hmmm… How many of us would get seriously 'F%@^£d' should that ever happen ( and don't tell it me it might not!)

It would be foolish to only look at the domain name when optimizing.

On the topic of using hyphens, I have two sites that were launched about a month apart from each other (different micro niches but same niche). The one domain that has 2 hyphens in the name got a PR 3 within 2 months whereas the domain with 1 hyphen still does not have a PR. I know that's not the only factor but it appears using more than 1 hyphen didn't hurt me.

Hei kaverit,
With regard to suffixes to the exact domain name, what effect would a number at the end have to it's ranking/indexing chances in that niche?
Would love to know.
Keep up the good work

I've done a few searches: race cars, horse racing, and more. The domain name seems to beat out the big names almost always. (race cars beats Nascar).

Hei kaverit,
Wow, great videos and I think I have learned almost as much from the follow up comments as the videos. Please keep it coming!
First a heads up for Victor, who said(March 27th at 6:23pm)
“These are the question we are looking for anyone that is a Market samurai customer has probably been doing this for at least a little while and is past “a .com is best” “then a .net” “or maybe .org” – great advise 10 years ago, can we have some real world advise for real world sites.”
I guess 2 years is “a little while”, at least I think so. The problem is that there are a lot of people and sites that are not clear, or just plain wrong in the advice they give. After having spent good money on bad advice, ( I own 2 totally useless domains and 2 marginal at best domains) the 10 year old advice you refer to, will keep me from repeating the same mistakes in a new way. Thank You Market Samurai!!!
Now my questions. My domain name only has a 44% keyword density, would adding a “/keyword” after the “.com” help my SEO efforts? Should leave off the part of the keyword that comes before the “.com” or not?
I have recently purchased Market Samurai, and truly wish I had found it sooner!

Great question from Anthony just before mine. I want to ask it in a slightly different way.
In Market Samurai, my competitor sites get a tick in the box for the keyword being in the URL just as mine does for having in the domain. Is there value in having the keyword in the url but not the domain and should we be attempting to ensure this is the case all the time?

I am looking at some domains for SEO purpose NOT branding. The .com,.org,.net are gone. In some I could get keywordphrase.biz or keywordphrase.info. Would these be a better option than say keyword-phrase.com or keywordphrasesuffix.com ?

Hei
I'm intrigued with the idea of keyword density in domain names, as well as the belief that the SEs read from left to right.
SO, if I want a domain name about “bicycle parts”, and I can't get bicycleparts.com, how smart an idea is it to get bicyclepartss.com? It has very high KWD and the required keyphrase is at the start of the domain name.
