The "x" at the end of your domain name maybe cutting your rankings
- SEO |
Fellow warriors,
I guess we are very farmiliar with domain names like improductlaunchreviewx.com especially in IM clickbank product launches where all exact match domain names of the product may already be taken, people now tend to optin for the "x" option.
Well, it's good but I've come to discover that at most times, those of my sites with the "x" option are not really powerful like my other sites with normal domains. I never really paid attention till when a guy with "-" in his domain name outranked me during a recent product launch and I was really pissed and after endless analysis to figure out why the guy outranked, I couldn't come up with any answers until one day it just struck me as I saw another site with "-" in the domain name doing really well in Google more than the guys with "x" and it all made sense.
That was in May, then all through June and July, I stopped using "x" in my domain and replaced it with "-" and I noticed that my sites with it are way stronger in Google when compared to those with "x" but they is more to it than just adding a hypen.
The secret is that you have to add only one hypen for it to be that powerful, something like im-productlaunchreview.com.
This is a properly tested information, if you have any doubts then I recommend you do your case study.
Pick out the next product launch and buy 2 domains like next-productlaunch.com and nextproductlaunchx.com, set them up equally and see the one that will rank better, I did this test twice myself.
