Hi warrior,

I did found one niche but domain name( niche ) is taken.

Is it good idea to add review behind domain name ?
What other idea can use in domain name ?

I see some use THE before. Have you try it ?

    You can use "the" at the begining and Google will ignore that word from an SEO point of view. You can also just add related words on the end to make it unique, such as "online" or "today" or "now" etc.

    If you are going for a specific keyword like plasma tv review then of course it makes sense to add that word on the end. With that said, bear in mind that you are slightly restricting what you can talk about on that site. Nowadays, Google seems to prefer you make your site more general and fleshed out with lots of information.

    WIth THAT said, if you don't care what Google thinks and are planning to get your traffic elsewhere, like youtube, facebook, twitter,press releases, solo ads and so on, then you don't have to worry what Google thinks.

    Hope that helps???

      yes, I agree.... take a look here..

      theperfumeshop.com - ranked 1st
      thefragranceshop.co.uk - ranked 6th

      And the keyword "perfume shop" has over 100,000 exact searches.
      I was doing some keyword research this morning about perfume niche and I discovered these ranked sites...

    probably a stupid question - but if there is only 5-10 places on the 1st page of Google, and 1,000 people wanting to review plasma TVs, each registering www.plasmaTVxxxx.com....

    Whats the drill here? am I missing something?

    is it the xxxx in the domain that will determine what searches will be found on the Google 1st page?

    so for plasmatvreview.com: The Leading Plasma TV's Site on the Net it'll be people searching on Plasma TV Review

    and for www.BigPlasma TV.com....yes, people searching for Big Plasma TVs

    etc

    is that what we are all hoping for ?

      Website is more likely to rank on Google if the search string is in domain name.
      But that alone is not enought. There is many other factor also

    These are few tips to maximize the chances of getting that domain name with the help of suffix and prefix:

    As long as you have got your main keyword in it then you should be fine as that is certainly better then nothing.

    Review would work if you site is a review of course, but smaller words such as 'the' might be better as it dilutes your main targeted keyword less.

    However, since the penguin update, correct me if i'm wrong but i think Google is paying less attention to the keywords in the domian, at least not as much as they used to. This means that the domian isn't vital to your ranking as much so no need to stress too much about it.

    Just try adding words like "the", "buy", "online", etc... as long as you have the keyword in it, it shouldn't cause you any problems.

    How about have one domain for few small niche and add subdomain with the niche name ?

    Sample: niche.mydomainname dot com

    Does that make any sense ?
