Do you know which domain would rank higher?

13 years ago

skateboards1.com I guess, haha. Acutally, I don't think the location of the "1" is such an important factor to affect the ranking. You have your keyword in the domain, and you did a good job. The next step should be focus on the on-page seo and building high quality backlinks.

Thanks

  Immaterial. Go for whichever you want. Ultimately I hardly think among these two there will be any difference in either SEO or sales of any of the two.
  
  If you really want one out of the two, go for skateboards1.com simply for "mental peace" if that gives you any !!
  
  Thanks

In terms of the url, I don't think it would make a difference. It's good to have your keywords in the domain, but I think things like the on and off-page SEO are weighed far greater by the search engines.

If you are marketing to young teenage boys I would build a site with the domain skateboards5318008.com. This way you get their two biggest obsessions in one domain.

(5318008 upside down in a calculator spells boobies.)

Your both domains looks fine. Now, ranking depends on for which URL you do better on page and off page work to get more quality back links.

I can hardly believe the misinformation in this thread.

People are just "guessing".

It's actually important, if adding letters/numbers/a word to the keyword, to put that after the keyword in the domain-name, not before.

If you're trying to rank for "skateboards", then for SEO purposes "skateboardsxyz" is better than "xyzskateboard".

There's so much misinformation about these subjects here: people just repeat what others have told them in other forum threads without ever checking with any authoritative source at all.

Any standard textbook of SEO, Google's blog, Matt Cutts' blog, forum posts from resident experts like Gene Pimentel (what he doesn't know about domain-names isn't worth knowing) and so on are all freely available ... but no: people prefer to repeat misinformation and give misguided advice instead. [/rant]

Yes, this is correct. I'm not sure why people would choose to give an uneducated guess as advice.

Seriously thank you for your reply, you answered my question exactly how it was asked and gave me search criteria to investigate (Matt Cutts Blog, Gene Pimentel) so I can further confirm the information. I know what I need to do now.

Thanks
