Newbie SEO Question.

Will PMD ( partially match domain ) name will affect my SEO ranking?

 

[hawdaze]

Yes, it should. Positively.

it a good quistion .

if the domain is part of the title and main keyword, then your on good tracks.

no matter what you do out beating comp best way .

PMDs can be helpful, but they are unneeded since you can put the keyword into the title of each posted url. The domains can be better used by finding or creating brandable names for them, which can give you more versatility in promoting the site. Brand name urls are easier to remember (online or offline), and so can be brought up offpage as a citation or mention without a hyperlink (in those cases where a site won't permit a backlink).

 

[Sc4r3cr0w]

Yes, it should. Positively.

but some sites tell it otherwise, I'm really confused at this point.
because there is penalty for overoptimizing.

Thank you very much for the information. this helps a lot.

Google has domain ‘google’ not ‘search engine’.
Focus on the site/content, choose the name you like. Keyword in the domain name will not make a huge impact if everything else is out of place.

For Google, I doubt it makes much difference now. It may help improve your SERP CTR though, and makes it slightly easier to build kw optimised anchors. Take a look at the SERP for your target kws - do you see a lot of brands or PMDs?

yes but you can never be penalized for your domain name, unless you take an ultra spammy name.
the advantage of PMD (or say this is what some people believe as we can't be sure) is you can use your anchors more freely with less of a risk of over-optimization, as the keyword is in the domain name. In other words you can have branded anchors or URL links, which contain the keyword.

Yes, it effects but not much. Google rank depends on several factors, basic one they concentrate is content. So PMD with user engaging content takes your website to next level.

It could do you some good. But keep posting good quality content on regular basis to get the best results. All the best!

Actually PMD or EMDs all work the same as a new domain now, as the domain power has been degraded so much over the multiple updates that the search engines have gone through.
They no longer work as an 'authority' for the respective keyword when being searched on the search engine - this is especially true the last time when a .com EMD can easily be ranked with a simple blast - but it no longer has such a trait now.
But a local TLD domain that is an EMD still retains the ranking power for locally searched keywords, and that can be further used as an advantage instead.

 

[webseoadviser]

Yes, it will. From my view, you will get some advantage for ranking.
