Keyword(s) in Domain Name and Effect of Also Using "and" "of" "or" etc.

HankTheCowDog · 06-01-2011, 09:53 PM

I'm eyeballing a couple of craigslist related keywords that cannot be used in their current structure for fear of the trademark violation. If the keywords are reversed then it significantly changes the game; no trademark worries.

In order to make the domain name "flow" better (to create an easy to remember domain name), do the words "of" "and" or similar type conjunctions words have any bearing on rank?

For exampe:

KEYWORDofcraigs.com

This is not a trademark question, I will worry about those issues.

Thanks in advance

I agree with you. maybe most people also agree. I think, the keyword located in the domain name is very strong impact on the SERP position. However, back to the content provided.

From SEO prospect, there will be no issue. But think about branding, it may look like a spammy website which will create negative impact for your website.
