Will This Matter?

Hello , I'm creating a website for the Gaming Niche ; but the game Name is trademarked by Microsoft-Not going to risk That! Anyway I've decided on a different domain it has 1 of the keywords in it. It's like Cheat-Assault , when my niche is Game(Not revealing the Niche; in case someone steals it.) then cheat.

Will this effect SEO only have one of the Keyword in the domain? Will I have to work harder?

    This is at least the 3rd thread you have created for pretty much the same question. Perhaps you should find your original thread and add to it, instead.

      How is it? The other ones are about hosting? Not the same type of Question.

    Ahhh... I see. Yes, different topic. My apologies. It's just that I've seen this 'game' you're talking about in a number of your threads now.

    Domain name is just one small factor in SEO. Is it helpful? Sure it is. But even more important is the keywords being used in your content, the keyword density, titles, alt tags, backlinks, etc.

    Technically, I could have a site about 'asteroids', name it 'buzzcount dot com', and still rank if I have all my other ducks in a row.

    Hope this helps.

        You shouldn't be afraid to fail. That's actually how you learn the most.

        OK! Stop right there. Seriously. STOP!

        Everyone "hates" to fail. Failing isn't fun. If it was fun everyone would want to do it. However, if you ever want to achieve success you will need to LEARN to fail. Your going to make mistakes.

        For example when I first started I picked a moderately competitive keyword instead of something "easy." And it sucked. I wanted to give up every damn day because nothing I did would move my site up in the rankings.

        If it wasn't for that one "mistake" I would have never learned how to properly build an SEO campaign for my sites. Today I am truly fearless when it comes to niches (well most niches lol).

        Don't over think, just do. Just freaking do it. Yet another example. I have a Flippa listing ending in about two hours and I am honestly surprised by my results. This time last week I was thinking "this wasn't going to work" and that I was wasting my $19 on a listing.

        However, logic prevailed and I listed the site--now five days later I'm about to make a nice profit.

        So just stop thinking about it. Just hop into the pool with both feet first and learn as you go. It forces you to sink or swim. If you don't know how you learn pretty damn quick!

        If you give it 100% what do you got to lose? $10 on a domain name and $6 a month on hosting?

        You're going to fail. If you're afraid of failure then you do not belong in the Internet Marketing Business. Period.

          Exactly what I was saying. We've all been there. Instead of wasting all this time on your domain name, just get something set up. If nothing else, you can always change the domain name later if you think of something better.

    The first thing i did online i failed and it taught me the most. Can you go with gamenamereview.com or onlinegamename.com , i have done this with ceratain trademarked names and not had a problem.

    Risk vs reward or you can go with the domain your thinking of and you onsite & offsite seo, which should be done anyway

    If I might suggest something: It sounds like your over-thinking this, which is a very common mistake that can actually paralyze your plans completely.

    I think you are correct in re-thinking your use of the trademarked name in your domain, but now I would commit and move forward with your plans. Obviously, you have been thinking this through for a while now. Trust in your research and the knowledge you have acquired, believe in yourself, and take that step out.

    If it doesn't work out like you hope, so what? I've had lots of sites that failed at first, too, as have most of us here. But you would still have learned much, and you're next project will come together even quicker, and you will have an even more solid foundation to build upon.

    And as I said earlier, your domain name is not the be all, end all of SEO.

    Best of luck.

    A domain with one keyword will not do as well as the domain with both keywords in the name. But if you improve all the other on page and off page SEO factors, then you can definitely outrank your competitor websites.

      That is not necessarily true.

      That is true. And once again, thank you, O0o0O, for paraphrasing what you have just read in the post above yours in yet another thread in a feeble attempt to inflate your post count.
