Domain keyword question - PLEASE HELP

younga2 · Apr 28, 2011

As we all know, having your main keyword in your domain name is a must for seo. But would it matter if part of the keyword was part of the page url

e.g:

If I wanted to target the keyword phrase: buy cheap toys

I would go with buycheaptoys.c0m

But how about if I wanted to use that site for the keyword: buy cheap computer ?

If I bought the domain buycheap.c0m, and setup my pages as:

buycheap.c0m/computer and buycheap.c0m/toys

Would it carry the same weight?

1) Main keyword in a domain is NOT a must in SEO.
2) Buycheap.c0m/toys does not carry as much weight as buycheaptoys.c0m but if you want to target both keywords it is the way to go IMHO.
3) Good luck

Insert this code to theme function (function.php)

PHP:

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
       global $post;
    return '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more...</a>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

I second these statements. They are all true.

having keywords in the domain helps, but to be honest you can rank any site for a keyword that has nothing to do with the domain if you build enough of the right links with anchor txt. So build the site and build links and traffic will come, dont get hung up on this stuff just keep building and testing stuff out, you will only ever find out what works for other people by asking questions, test and you will find out what works for you!
