Whats better for SE's?

**swami** · 10-16-2003, 12:02 AM

IMO there is not much difference.There are slight advantages with either.

**lil2rich4u2** · 10-16-2003, 12:03 AM

ABChuman-readableABC.com

can do just as well if marketted right, UNLESS you are going for branding then id keep it short and sweet.

**Stud Money** · 10-16-2003, 12:04 AM

If you have a choice of buying either; humanreadabledomains.com or, human-readable-domains.com buy both of them and use them both

Make sure that you use alternate meta tags and keywords on the pages though so that both domains do not get banned from google

**Abyss_Vee** · 10-16-2003, 12:07 AM

domains that start with an A or a number at the beggining are also good

**Abyss_Vee** · 10-16-2003, 12:09 AM

you end up at the top on directories

**Theo** · 10-16-2003, 12:10 AM

it depends which SE you are targetting.

**jojojo** · 10-16-2003, 12:12 AM

makes no difference to google - domain names affecting rankings is a myth.

**Abyss_Vee** · 10-16-2003, 12:13 AM

if your domain name is exactly the keyword they are searching for,, it will make a difference

Mate you have just lost any credibility you may have had.
keywords in domain names do play a factor in google. one amongst many other factors but sometime its enough to make a difference .

Actually he is right, the navigation structure of your site pays much more of a vital role in google than keyworded domains

Thats quite obvious but to say it plays no part whatsoever is absolute bullshit.

**jojojo** · 10-16-2003, 12:45 AM

Abyss_Vee = if your domain name is exactly the keyword they are searching for,, it will make a difference

Gee you are the same person that posted this question 4 days ago and now you are a Google expert lol:

"How many times per month is it safe to submit to Google,,, and how many url's per site ??

thanx k"

Swami - you are wrong - it's a myth - it has zero impact.

The only reason people think it does is because either the owners name their site the name of the url or people use the name of the url as the anchor text.

**swami** · 10-16-2003, 12:54 AM

You guys who THINK they know fuckn everything make us blokes who do know fuckn everything

blah blah I am editting this useless post - apparently as you so articulately stated above you know EVERYTHING...

**swami** · 10-16-2003, 01:13 AM

Mate don't take it serious.Its only a bit of fun.
You obviously think it plays no part where I think it is a factor in google's algo.A small one no doubt but sometimes its enough to make a difference.
Also I will tell you where it can make a big difference and that is when other sites link to you using your domain name.Your keyword domain then becomes anchor text.
Are you familiar with anchor text?

I'm with you on that one.

But in general is googles alg**** is stupid. This spam sites on top sometimes. I started to doub on google when I saw this site with a top 10 and excat same content on like 15 pages..smart.

so what's the secret?

Umm that is what I said 6 replies ago:

"The only reason people think it does is because either the owners name their site the name of the url or people use the name of the url as the anchor text."

**swami** · 10-16-2003, 01:38 AM

What you see and what google see can be 2 different pages.Those sites that look like they are all the same pages are using cloaking.They show google a page full of keyword text but when a surfer visits they show a page either of their sponsor by redirect or a pretty page of their own.

**eatapeach** · 10-16-2003, 01:39 AM

well, there's other reasons also.

if you can get domains with keywords, do.

if you can't, make do

What I think you say here is that people only think it does.

**jojojo** · 10-16-2003, 01:50 AM

Can we split this hair one more time?

So you think that I only think that people think that?

Man I need a break from this PC

**swami** · 10-16-2003, 02:03 AM

I think that you think that i think your mistaken.yes i do think that.

HUH?!?!!
I'm afraid you just lost my confidence toots

show me a domain name like suckass.com that'll get a top 10 for big boobs as a search term and you might get some credibility back from me

oh and don't think I don't know my stuff .... you might be surprised ;)
