Hey Everyone,

Would love to get your thoughts on the best domain given the examples listed below...for SEO purposes. Appreciate your comments!

(These are only examples; I do not own or intend to buy these domains)

Domain 1 - 25,000 exact matches "cost of insurance"
Domain 2 - 5000 exact matches "cost insurance"

Which would you prefer to own? I keep leaning towards the short version "cost insurance", but for SEO purposes, would the EXACT (and longer) domain be more valuable in your opinion?

Thanks Much!

Blue

    I would definately use costinsurance.tld over costofinsurance.tld.

    The "of" word is known as a stop word in Google search, which basically means it can be left out and return almost the same results.

    You may also be able to rank for costforinsurance, costagainstinsurance, costatinsurance etc.

    And one final thing, the first is 2 letters shorter than the second, not much to write home about, but it is an SEO factor, in your favor.

    IMO using first keyword is better than the second one if you are sure about the result of your researches. The first keyword has about 5 times more traffic than second one and optimizing both of them are almost the same.
