Quick newbie question regarding keyword in domain name

by Matt Ward

I'm looking for some opinions on a specific issue I'm facing right now... What would be a better approach for this type of scenario?

Say your keyword is "lcd tv reviews" - what would be a better choice in domain names out of these:

"lcdtvreview .com" (missing trailing "s")
"lcdtvreviews101 .com" (has the full keyword but with junk at the end)

Advice is appreciated.

    It depends on how good the keyword lcd tv review is. lcd tv reviews and lcd tv review are two different keywords. I would check that out and if it as good or better than definitely go with that one.

    If the keyword is not EXACT in the URL the 'exact keyword match' benefit will not apply. That means even if the whole keyword is in the URL with a bit added on the end.

    In my experience both of those domains will do just as each other. They have a bit of keyword richness, go with the most brandable for you... or toss a coin.

    While we are at it, does google look the same on different keywords, but reverse order? Such as

    domainname (dot com)
    namedomain (dot com)

      For the exact keyword phrase, reversing the keywords in the domain name will have a big impact.

    Thanks for the info.

    I'm wondering, though... if you're trying to rank for keyword "lcd tv reviews" is "lcdtvreview .com" (without s) any different from "lcdtv123456 .com" in terms of helping SEO? Or would it be better to have the full key word and junk at the end?
