Question about Keywords in Domains

6 replies
Say (hypothetically) that the keywords I'm targeting are "make money online."

Does makealotofmoneyonline*com hold the same keyword value as makemoneyonline*com?

Or, in other words, if you split the keywords within the domain name, does that weaken its keyword power?

Thanks!

    Both keywords are different.

    makemoneyonlne.com
    makealotofmoneyonline.com

    If you want you can try : make-money-online.com, make-lot-of-money-online.com are possibly close because of breaking up of keywords in both and some words are similar.

    Yes if you want to use certain keywords they need to be grouped together

    makemoneyonline or like radhika said make-money-online. Otherwise you are trying for make alot of money online as your keywords...and that might not bring you enough traffic.

    Forget about keyword on your domain IF:

    It will be more difficult for people to remember.
    It's prone to misspellings.
    It doesn't make sense.
    It looks spammy site sitting in a spammy domain.

    In terms of SEO, keyword in domain have very little to no value at all.

    Think about top websites like amazon, youtube, etc. These domains is not related at all in their target market or keywords.

    Thanks everyone! One more question: How does a .net extension figure into SEO? I see this endlessly debated on here and it seems everyone's got an opinion.

    In SEO? No difference. The issue is, more people automatically associate ".com" extension for each domain.
