Hey

I'm wondering about using keywords in domain name. I've learned that it's a good idea to include keywords in the domain name. So I did some research and did find a keyphrase which is being searched for 1500000 times each month. Now I searched for the domain having both keywords (crazy and stuff)So when I check if crazystuff.com is available I see it's already taken. All domains I came come up with (domains which include 2 keywords) are taken
:(

So I thought what if I change domain to somecrazystuff.com, is it bad to put "some" on the front? will it hurt the use of keywords in domainname?

PS: somecrazystuff.com is just an exmaple in this context

Why not crazy-stuff.com? You can always get the wording you want with a hypen.
 
Better than somecrazystuff.com should be crazystuffsomething.com or crazy-stuff.com
The best of all: Use a subdomain, so you have crazystuff.domain.com and is as good as crazystuff.com and also cheaper.
 
What I want is to use the domain name to help site on ranking, so that's way I try to include 2 keywords into the domain....

What If I uses a keyphrase which is relevent to my niche, but it's monthly search volume is very low (1900) compared to the one above. Should I then choose to use this keyphrase as domain... or should I go for somecrazystuff.com.. which approach is best for ranking?

please, somecrazystuff.com is just an example

Is there another keyword in your niche that you can use to combine the two for a domain? If "get crazy" is another keyword then you could combine them to make "getcrazystuff.com".

I've used that approach in my last two domains and they are ranked fairly well for both keywords. My main keyword that I was targeting was like your example with a word on the front of it. I just chose to use a word that also happened to be another keyword.
 
yes it helps wiothout a doubt. I mean who would have web site called "besttv.com" but it's about rabbits? So the SE's know right away it's relevant.
 
Sure its better to have keywords in your domain name, I would go with something like funnycrazystuff as funny is a keyword that is likely to add to your traffic more than "some"
and its all available except .com
 
In my experience, having a keyword in the domain name only helps in non competitive searches. for example, even if you have the domain carinsurance.com - it won't get any results in serp's based on the domain alone.
But in niche searches you can get first sport with the domain name only, no inbound links or anything else (and i have few real examples too...)
 
Revelant backlinks with proper anchor text is most important if you want to rank your site. Domain keyword just make it easier and faster.
 
The best of all: Use a subdomain, so you have crazystuff.domain.com and is as good as crazystuff.com and also cheaper.

Sub-domains just don't work for me and I've tried lots of times with zero success. Anyone else achieved anything with a SD?
 
Find a pr3 or above domain in an auction like godaddy and once you have the domain you can change the content without it affecting PR then create a page on your new site so newdomain.com/keyword. Then create keyword rich content. Then create as many backlinks with your keyword in ancor text leading to newdomain.com/keyword and presto

It seems a nice ideas to me. What exactly you do on newdomain.com? Do you put any related article and point the link juice for newdomain.com/keyword?
 
I'm big on hypenated, keyword-loaded-domains. The search engines are getting smarter about extracting words rather intelligently but I've had great success with hyphens for absolute keyword clarity. Some SEO's diss 'em, but I'm-Laughing-All-The-Way-To-The-Bank.
 
I'm not big on hyphenated. I've had better luck with somecrazystuff instead of crazy-stuff. Perhaps its down to some of the techniques that are being used behind the scenes as to why people have such different views.

Why not try both, spin the content slightly so it's unique, promote both similarly and then share your results with us?
 
Which one is better in terms of SEO , crazy-stuff.com or stuffcrazy.com ?
