Exact match .biz vs exact match + .com

From the details I gave I think you could have known it is for a website where the traffic comes from search engines.
I'm looking for exact match domain because it helps when ranking for some keyword so your advice is relevant for this thread.

As I said, .com, .net and .org are already taken, I have sent an email to ask about the .net one as it is for sale. Anyway, none of them are used for a website so they won't be my competition(At least not yet).

In the first page there are 2 youtube videos, amazon, bestbuy and other pages from some website. There are only two top domain results, #1(with only around 250 backlinks) and #7 (totally irrelevant for this niche).

So you are saying that .biz is still good? I mean better keyword.biz than (prefix)keyword.com or keyword(suffix).com ?

It is a niche website, not an authority one. I looked at the com net and org but all of them are just parked, not in use.(two for sale, sent an email asking the price)

As someone suggested, I think keyword.co.uk is still better than bestkeyword.com. The keyword is already 18 characters long.
But will wait for more advices. Thank you.

Well since Exact match domains have such an impact on rankings I'd actually go for the exact match .biz

People may not agree with me but I previously registered a .biz exact match domain and I'm doing very well with it.

but then again, what do I know? It's just from experience.

You're right, at least if I try something I'll know for sure if it works or not.
I will get the .biz domain (the keyword is somehow a small business) and see how it will rank. All the other websites from the first page are .com so it will be an interesting test. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Before I comment on exact match domains...

Domain Extension for TLD - In all my experience and for all my clients, Google is color-blind for search engine rankings when is comes to domain extensions. A lot of experts agree. Google don't weight the algorithm scoring for a .com domain any higher than a .biz There are 100's of other factors in play for rankings.

People typing a URL versus People clicking a clickable URL

In our experience, visitors find the site by clicking on a clickable link... about 98%. Few people are typing URLs. Which means People have to go out of their way to notice the Extension anyway.

Many of them do however, so... IMO...

.COM is worth more to your site if the searcher/buyer/consumer should recognize your website as a business. But it means nothing to Google's ranking algorithms.

.ORG - I'd say 50% of the population still considers a dot org to be a non-profit organization. So, keep that in mind if you are asking them to spend money or send them to Amazon. And if your ORG site gets a manual review from Google by getting to the tippy top of a money keyword ranking, I wouldn't be blatant about the miracle cure you are selling. Acne.org - Acne treatment and community pulls it off, because the sales component is not in your face, and 99% of the is high quality original content much of it user-generated

see the .com domain for acne below

.NET .BIZ, .INFO - Frankly its impossible to say definitively, but I've had clients go with a brandable domain name not available in .COM and succeed with no problems whatsoever using the same name with .BIZ Both SEO and consumer awareness seemed unaffected .INFO has 4 letters which some searchers might think odd. and yet INFO means INFO to most of us. BTW, 1000's of those MFA sites were succeeding with info domains in the past. Not any of them are working now, as far as I can tell this is a dead strategy.

.EDU - While we're at it... ignore all the advice that Google loves EDU domains and a backlink from EDU is worth more. Never seen this empircaly proven. EDU in the US and Europe are generally handed out to secondary level... universities.

But that includes a lot of small community colleges that wind up with totally spammed out pages that are un-moderated. Does Google overlook loads of negative factors and all the low quality content? Why would they score higher backlinks solely the EDU extension and ignore other factors?

Your Own EDU website

Did you know you can buy your own EDU domain down in Peru. For real, it is SA after all. Do you really think Google will give extra brownie points for your peruvian edu websites? Matt Cutts speaks out on EDU. This video is a few years back but I had it in my files. Lightning Round!

* Exact match domain vs Brandable Domain Name.

In all my experience, if you are building a commercial business online, you should consider a brandable domain name first. Get .com certainly.

* Brandable Domain Names - LandsEnd.com is memorable, easy to spell and type, sounds cool and was already recognizable from catalog sales... that's a brandable domain, as is FaceBook and MySpace. I've made almost as much buying brandable domains early in the game, to sell years later... as from all other online activities in 14 years.

Brand is very important for long-term success. Recognizable brands work... FaceBook was a perfect choice for a new concept because the 2 words implied the purpose of the concept/website within the domain. Pepsi became recognizable by constant repitition.

IMO, long term business building is the only reason to be online anyway, or to worry about search engines. If you create a website about a popular subject You love and know a hell of a lot about... you will get a large share of the traffic over time naturally if you can write. If it also happens to a monetizable topic, you can make a lot of bank too.

* Exact Match Domain Names. Go ahead in the right circumstances. What is your strategy? Are you doing a simple MFA site with 5 to 10 pages? Are you thinking long term or short term?

* Exact Match Product Names. You get cumulative Scoring Weight with that exact keyword phrase contained "InUrl" anyway as compared to the domain name which is basically the same thing... its InURL. There is no google operator for InDomain. Tip that they are not scoring domains alone

Acne Again

The dynamic lady is killing it in the acne market. She only started about 19 months ago with a brand new blog. Acne — High on health
Not an exact match domain. But there is loads of original content she changes daily. A loyal following provides tons of user-generated comments. She's morphed that blog out into a complete skin care store. She has a new video every 48 hours and engages her visitors. That's way more cause and effect for success and high rankings than an exact match domain name.

Yeah... I'm a fast typist, plus I was in a Sunday funk... so it got me out of my mood.
