Does Keyword order matter in domain?

It doesn't have to be too hard. Just make sure that the word makes sense. The main thing is that your KW phrase is intact. Also, you may want to check out Google Stopwords which are words that Google doesn't count to put it simply. This is good because you can add these to your domain, but Google will filter them out automatically which leaves them just your targeted KW phrase.

Here's a huge list of the most common ones:

Check your PM! I wanted to ask you something...
 
Ever since the May Day update I have found that keyword domains carry much less weight. I actually have 2 sites in the same niche and my non-keyword domain outranks my keyword domain for the same keywords. Both sites have really strong SEO.

The keyword domain used to rank above and now the non-keyword domain beat it out for top spot. And I'm talking a very competitive niche. 100M+ results.
 
Old thread but meh..
Better than starting a new one.
I have only one question:
what sucks worst in terms of SEO:

how-totrainyourdog.net
or
trainyourdoghowto.net

thanks for advice
 
Very good question. Followed for a good answer :D
 
I dont think you should take any of the letter out of your domain if your trying to be ranked for those particular keywords. It wouldn't matter if you reversed your domain, It wouldnt hurt you.
 
There were 2 querstion asked on here that never got answered. I hate when people abandon threads.. fuckers!
 
I can only answer on a local level, when I buy taxattorneysandiego it does better that sandiegotaxattorney, I have done this over a thousand times, don't know why, just saying most of the time (not always) it does better. that's with no seo, just the name the proper title and keywords on the sites.

I would agree with this. Whenever I have done KW research it always seems it is a natural human behaviour to search for [what i want] [placename] and not the other way around.

I chucked up a couple of sites a year or so ago and apart from a bit of page SEO have left them alone. One is [placename service] the other is [service placename].
The service placename site is page two for the KW phrase at 14 or 15 the other is no where to be seen.

Bing and Yahoo are listing service placename at positions 1 and 2.
 
Dont know if this helps and it was touched on by someone in thread earlier.
I used G KW tool for one of my niches.
If i research "PAT testing" + town OR "portable appliance testing" + town......

I always get same results!

Another instance, I search my KW's

One of my domains has the KW "installation"
If i search "installers" or "installer" then google picks this up and highlights the SERPS extract KW "installation" although i did not search that nor is it an exact match.

Hope this helps someone.

Kind regards
