Questions regarding keywords in domain
I'll use an examples to make it easier for me to explain and for you to understand.
My keyword= ways to make money online
waystomakemoneyonline.com, .net, .org and other extensions already taken.
I really really want to have my keywords in the domain.
So, I add a word or number to the whole thing, so I can get an available domain. Like 10WaysToMakeMoneyOnline.comor MyWasyToMakeMoneyOnline.com. Does this have the same effects as having the exact keywords in domain? Say someone has searched for ways to make money online. If you had the exact keyword in domain, you would be shown on the first page #2. Now, lest say everything is the same, the only difference is that you have an extra word or number or what have you in your domain. Would the searched see your site in the same position or not?
Another thing that is confusing me, although its almost the same question as the first one is:
I have heard over and over that although keywords in domain might not have direct effect on SEO, indirectly it can help. When people are linking to your site, since your domain is your keyword, you get the benefit of anchor text link, which helps your rank better for that keyword. When linking to a website (using the website name) most people use the complete address like yourdomain.com. So, if that .com is there, than your not really getting an anchor text link with your keywords, or ar you...? Which brings me to another question:
You have a link pointing to your site with your keywords (example) ways to make money online, does that backlink somehow counts for make money online or ways to make money as well? I dont know if my question makes sense or not, I hope it does. If not, Ill try to explain more clearly.
I am sorry for all the questions. I am just really trying to understand it all. Thank you all in advance. Please feel free to add or explain other things that might be important, but I didn't ask(since I dont know much about it)LoL! Thank you.
