Given everything else is equal -- content, on-page SEO, backlinks, off-page SEO, and promotion -- which one is better if I'm trying to rank for the keyword 'free stuff'?

1. 123freestuff.com
2. freestuff.somedomain.com
3. somedomain.com/freestuff

Thanks for any insight!

    From what I know about SEO, they would all be about equal considering they have the exact same phrase in each of them.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong here...

    123freestuff.com ...I remember Armand Morin saying the least amount of characters around your key phrase the better.

    The problem is, with so many things in Google algo, you can't say "everything is equal".

    To make it painless for you my friend is choose the domain that people can easily remember.

    Domains are not for search engines, it's for human.

    Just search on google and you can find domains ranking higher WITHOUT keywords or phrases in them.

    I agree with JJOrana, as the algo for the search engines are extremely complicated, especially Google.

    Having said that, i still think the first one - 123freestuff.com will do better.
