Keywords in domain name

[Natural Elements]

I have seing more and more marketing company buying keywords domain name just because this will put the site with nothing on it beside the keyword in title and domain name on top 5.

I think we will see more and more people (for the time it is working) manipulate the search engines ranking just by buying keyword-domains-names or keyphrase-domain-names.

What do you think ?

This is something people were doing a lot a few years ago, but the domain name is only 1 small part of search engine algorithms. It helps at least somewhat to have your main phrase in your domain but when you do the keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword.com kind of thing, I think the SE's look at that as spam more than anything.

KW/s in domains has a little factor in SEO. There are time that only LINKS (no ANCHOR TEXT) can be put in a website you are linking in, In this case, although you dont have the achor tect, you stil have the KW/s in the domain itself.

If you call that the past , check the second link at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...iian+body+care

The domain was created last year but it ranks high today !

You're kidding yourself if you think keyword rich domain names aren't important. I've seen plenty of websites with no external links who rank in google for no other reason than they have a keyword rich domain. Even outranking my sites with thousands of incoming links, just because of the domain name.

Well.... let me be clear. They rank for the keywords in their domain ahead of some of my sites. Although my sites rank overall higher for many, many more keywords.

At least we are two to believe that keywords rich with no links, or no contents can outranking regular sites :-)

Natural Elements,

I agree with you, keywords included in the domain role play a very important role in search engine ranking!

I think it shouldn't play a very important role in search engines.

Like I mentioned on this post, keyword rich in domain name with no contents, no pages ranking top 5 give an door open to anything.

If I read correctly the Google guidelines at: http://www.google.com/support/webmas...=35769#quality

They are not doing what they say they will: "Make pages for users, not for search engines. Don't deceive your users"

It does not require that keywords in domain name could play best roles in coming SERP's.

I have site, cygnet-infotech.com

which is coming on 1st pos and page, from last sevaral years on many keywords,

Just i am giving you here one keyword,

.net development india

Still there is no any word used in domain name...

So don't get confused, just optimize title and meta details very well.

And add unique, fresh and quality content in your website, i garruntee you will be on the top of SERP's.

Keyword in domain name is an important factor in google algorithum but it is one the factor. Yes if you have your keyword in your domain name it will help you in your seo but if not then try to improve other important factors.

Well, I thinks theres an advantage but....but still depends on how you optimize your site.
