Hi Aaron, thanks for stopping in and commenting..
I use Archive.org to check the kind of content that was earlier hosted on the domain – stay away from porn and hate sites. Even a “new domain” may be registered and used few years ago.
Thanks for your tips.

Ive ranked sites highly in google with very little effort purely on the back of the keywords been in the domain name, it cant be anything else as I didnt do anything else to promote the domain – its a definitly edge.
Hi Lessa, thanks for commenting and sharing your experience π
Having the keyword in the domain name of the product or service you are trying to promote is ideal. I think it definitely has a big impact on ranking. As Larry said, be sure to take care in using a company name that is copyrighted in the domain name or you may have to deal with legal action.
Anyways thanks for the information Larry.

Nice post and a helpful video Larry π
As an SEO myself, I know that having a keyword in the domain name is a nice little boost for ranking the site. It might not be that significance, but we all need to have everything we can right out of the bat to make the best first step possible.
I always try to get my exact keyword as the domain name with the “-” or some irrelevant characters at the end like “x” or “z” if the exact domain is not available. There’s always more room to enter π
Thanks again for the post, I appreciate it!
Duy.
Thanks Duy!

Thanks for the comment ! π
Hey Larry,
I couldn’t agree more with your tips for buying domain names. It’s important for any webmaster to know that keyword rich domains are much more effective than domains without keywords. Thanks for sharing the fundamentals when it comes to domain buying.
I am relatively new in internet marketing and this post is very helpful to me. However, should your domain name be an exact match with the keyword or should it just be included in the domain? Does It make much difference?
Hi Sean, that really depends on what is actually available. If you should happen to find the exact keywords for a domain name awesome that would be good.
For example: wouldn’t it be nice to own the domain networkmarketing.com lols..
Just make sure whatever keywords you are using that there is actually traffic there.
A suitable and best keywords is very important to include in your domain name because it makes other minds that site site belongs to that work and its really easy to keep in mind if you include keywords similar to your business.
thanks for this useful information. keep up the right and great work.
Larry,
I like these tips but I think its not that risky to use a brand name in your domain with some other keywords in domain, I see most people have domains containing famous brands name in it.
Actually they try to sell their niche or service or getting affiliate from that company, and yeah I like that you highlighted that having keywords in your domain name is good, I totally agree with that.
Thanks
Roger
Hey Roger, actually there are some companies that prohibit you from using selective words.
Thank u for the video and helpful tips Larry. I usually do my domain research in MNF so I have to check for the local searches, competition etc. Its too risky to use brand name because they paid for that name and using it might cause you trouble. So its better to stay away from it.

In my opinion a domain should be short and brandable. To many people make the mistake of getting some keyword rich domains. I think people dont like this kind of domainnames to klick on as they used to be. Better short and brandable π
Jasmin
Hi jasmine, you have point. I would like to point out though you can always use anchor text. Also if you are getting search engine traffic you wont have to worry about that. Ultimately it really depends on how you going to use the domain. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Domain names based on keywords is always a good investment. I used to bank on deleted domain names with pagerank. The page ranks go away after a while.
Hi Cheolsu, thanks for stopping by and commenting.
π Off-late, I have found a efficient way of selecting domains based on keywords. I search for my keywords in Google Adwords Keyword tool. I copy all the 100 keywords that appear and use some text tool to remove space between words. I then copy this onto Godaddy’s bulk domain tool. That provides the list of available domains. I think the limit is 500 lines.
Interesting post I was reading last week about matching keyword domain names. I hadn’t considered looking at the age of the domains though. Do you mean domains that people are selling? Would this not be more expensive?
