Hi,
I am targeting the keyword like this: Character Recognition

Should I instead register the domain name by the keyword name and host the page there or the current page is fine? or what if I do both and link each other? will it be beneficial?

And if you suggest domain name then should it be characterrecognition.com or character-recognition.com? the difference here is the hyphen
#domain #keyword

    Character recognition is kinda broad keyword. If you wanna have higher possibility of ranking..it would be great to integrate it to main domain name rather than sub domain name,in my opinion. For me, I listened to many SEO expert for avoiding using hyphen in domain name. If you have two websites hosted at same server....it doesn't help much if you try to link them to each other as they are sharing the same IP address........hope it helps...

    I woiuld suggest YES, do that characterrecognition.com. If your site is all about this then why not.. just expand your keyword on meta.. use google wonder wheel to find out related keywords.

      I would take either or. hyphen or no-hypen. I have a subdomain.main.com which is a EMD.

      Google reads it like this:
      http mymagical keyword org

      That's how it shows as being the anchor text in a lot of my links anyways... Google and the other search engines automatically take out the periods commas hyphens slashes whatever...

      CHEERS!

    It is really helpful in SEO to get the exact keyword match in domain name. Hyphen is the second option, when u r not able to get the exact keyword match in google.

    In my experience, the exact match domain names will rank higher much faster than without. However, you can rank any keywords no matter what your URL name is. It may just take a bit longer.

    having keywords in the URL (than not) seems to work well with my tests. Repeating the same keywords for a URL / page could hurt though.
