Domain name length

pjlyons1uk · 10-05-2009, 01:42 PM

Fellow warriors,

Is there a 'rule of thumb' for a maximum length to be considered for a domain name?

The reason I ask is that the long tail keyword I want to use is available but is 27 character long.

Would that be a problem or am I worried for nothing ?

Best wishes

Pete

If you don't expect your visitors to return, just go with it. It will help you with your rankings on G. But if you expect them to come back again, I would go with a shorter domain.

For best keyword "juice", title should be short, but up to 40 characters is fine. If possible the first word or words should be most important but 3 to 5 words total is good. Just be sure to use different page titles for each page of site (even if just variations of main keywords).

You have a choice:

Do you want a brandable domain name or not?
Brandable = Shorter, cooler domain name
Non brandable = anything goes

Regards,
Reinhardt
