Keyword and domain selection question

by Rick Diculous
6 replies
I want to start a new blog and shoot for a keyword that gets 27k searches a month and has very low competition acording to Google Keyword Tool.

I have two potential domains that are available and was wondering wich format would be better

choice #1: keywordkeywordextrakeyword.com
choice #2: keyword-keyword.com

If I choose the one with the extra keyword, does it matter if the extra keyword is at the begining or at the end?

    Try to stay away from hyphens when possible, so go with option #1. I've heard you should use suffixes more than prefixes, so I believe having the extra word that the end would be better. Some say that it doesn't matter where your exact keyword is, however, as long it is in there. Just make sure your domain is somewhat short and easy to remember.

    The first one sounds better for me.

    It doesn't matter whether it is in front or end, it should be included in the domain name.

    I'm not sure about the front or the end either, I know a lot of people say it's better to put it at the end but I don't know what testing they have done to find this. I really don't know but to be safe I would probably put the extra keyword at the end.

    The extra keyword is definitely better than using a hyphen

    Go for the keyword plus one letter. 'e' is a popular choice. you get more ranking power.
