This will dilute the search slightly as it is not an "exact match domain" persay. The rule I go by is that if the .com is not available, I go for the .net, this is usually alot better than adding "site" to the end. If you haven't done anything on it yet and the .net is available I would recommend buying that. |

No. Doing a simple Google search proves this. When I type "cowboy boots" into Google (without the quotes), how many results to I see with an exact-match domain name? Produce top quality, "authority"-like content, throw your on-page SEO skills at it, and move on to creating natural backlinks. You'll be fine. EDIT: With that being said, EMD's still contribute heavily to rankings. But if you can't have it, that just means you need to work a little harder. |

lol.. Are you in the dating niche? Are you in the financial niche? Are you in the weight loss niche? Do you have 50 million competitors? If not, don't worry about your SEO being "destroyed"... I have several keyword-domains and they rank first page top 3 with literally a handul of links, against a couple million competitors. Unless you're in the most competitive niches ever, and not targeting a sub-niche, isn't talking about SEO being destroyed a little hyperbolic? |

Not if you can get enough back links to your site. See how many back links the other sites have on the first page of Google and the quality of the back links for your keyword and get more back links of the same quality than they have and you will be fine. Clint |

Exact match makes SEO easier (though in recent times people have started believing that it is not so any more). But that does not mean you can not do without exact match name. I mean, there can be only a few (say, k) exact match domain names, and when do you see them occupy all of the top-k ranks? So, with good SEO, everything is fine.

1. Invest $1. Cut you backlinking by 50%+. Click here. Seduce Google. 2. Find tons of high-commission easy in less than a minute here. 3. War Room release on off-page SEO: Gege Robohop -"Incredible", say Warriors 4. Mindset matters. Look at my last year - nothing to do with IM. | |

Yeah, look, although having "site" at the end isn't as good as having an EMD, this doesn't mean you won't be able to rank number one. Your domain name is better than not having any of your keywords in it. - Even then, it is still possible to rank number one. Just takes a little more ofpage SEO work. As mentioned, depending on the competiveness you may not even notice a difference. |

Good luck with it Kea55 - I personally don't think it matters, you still have your main keyword phrase in the domain and that is the main thing - go for it!

Ask yourself if how big is your market! And other related question to this... And one thing, I refer .net if .com is not available instead of adding suffixes but remember it wont affect you keyword... And Kea, don't worry on the suffix, the main thing their is you have your main keyword... |

Don't be scared to go with .info or .org if you can get an exact match. I have easily ranked .info domains high in google. But if you have to add words there are some that google doesn't read or don't count. these are words like: my, the, a, etc. The list is actually quite extensive if you google it you will find the list somewhere. . . Hope this helps |
