If the desired domain name is taken, it is often suggested to add a filler word at the end like 'bluewidgetreview.com' or 'bluewidgetinfo.com'.(for seo purposes)...would a filler word at the beginning be just as effective? (bestbluewidget.com) or is it recommended that the filler be placed at the end?
Thanks

    I think there will be effect too. It's important to have keywords in domain.

      Do you think the effect it would have on the domain to have the filler at the beginning be a good one or a bad one (for SEO purposes) I do plan on keeping all the keywords in the domain name, just was curious if it is unwise to put the 'filler' word (the extra word you stick usually at the end if just the keyword domain is already taken) at the beginning.
      Thanks!

    I think you can do that, you will get a long tail keyword domain nothing else. Google will love that for sure.
    Also for better SEO it's really important how you will manage your WP settings, if you will use WP anyway.
    Maybe it's better to spin your words and make filler to be at the end.

    Just find another long-tail that still contains the root keyword if you are that concerned about getting an exact match. As soons as you add a word it is no longer an exact match anyway...

      Sometimes part of the key phrase is a brand name / proprietary name, so you can't use it in the domain name or you will violate your affiliate terms of service, so in that case I just go for something that has all the other words at the front of the url first, and just add on something like "reviews", "pros", "360", etc.... whatever makes sense for the context of the specific site. Just use your best judgement...

      If it is a niche keyword having all the terms in the domain name probably isn't that important anyway, more important is having the domain sound like a relevant and authoritative source for an article titled with the keyword you are looking for, if that makes sense...

    Once you find out an EMD isn't necessary for SEO, it gets easier to pick domain names.

      You can make it either way.. Its good if you have keyword in the domain name But its not the only tactic to rank it well.
