When something says that a keyword is included in the title, do they mean the exact keyword, or part of it?

    Here is an example: I have the phrase taco shells. But tacoshells.com is already registered. But if I did organictacoshells.com, would it still have weight for taco shells, or would all bets be off?

      Well taco shells would be better in theory, but you still have with the modifier.
      However it is my opinion after the latest update from G, (3 sites near EMD sites blitzed) that you would be better off to steer clear of exact match domains, and go with something generic like.. in this case MexicanNosh.com. you can still get your keyword in the url by putting it in the page slug mexicannosh.com/taco-shells/

        I have a client ranking for 13 diff keywords all page 1 using different (keyword pages) for each keyword in the url structure like listed above.

        Works amazingly well if you do naked links.

          Forget about the domain. You are talking about urls anyway,
          which is not technically a domain.

          urls are a different story. Url structure is useful for each page,
          depending on topic. Main domain gets a title that is
          more general to the niche.

          A tad mixed up between titles, keywords, domains, and urls.

          The title and url structure are very important. The domain
          is not. Don't overdo the title or url. You don't need the
          entire phrase in either one, especially if it is quite long.

          The warrior forum gets ranked for a whole host of SEO
          related terms and phrases, even though the domain is
          warriorforum.com. If people did likewise, as I always
          suggested, many would not be tied up at the moment.

          If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    Ok. So while in theory anyways tacoshells.com would be good, but the google updates would have some effect on how optimized it would be. Further more, would would be safer to have it as PART of, and not the main title of the url. Am I correct in stating that?

    I agree. one effort in the seo world won't make it. You got to focus on all the main core seo tactics to build a site that ranks. It can be helpful though i believe it's lost a lot of luster in the recent updates.

    I agree too with Paul. you shouldn't focus on what to name your url, focus on your SEO campaign.
