    SEO Optimisation and Domains

    how important is the domain in optimizing for search engines nowadays?

    does it help to have the keywords in the domain. for instance, if you want the keywords CAR and BOOK, how useful is it to have CAR-BOOK.COM? can you have just as good results with X-Y-Z.COM?

      you need a domain to get in the search engines so i would say it was very important
      the hun gets revenue from pre-paid gallery placements on the top 15 spaces and banners.
      the rest of thegalleries are free placements.

          It can help, but you'll still have to optimize everything else.

                                  I think the engines just ignore the hyphens, so without the hyphens is probably better just to save a little typing and easier to remember...

                                      All the search engins are different so I would suggest that you find the search engine that you want to target and search for the tips on that particular one. Just my

                                                          Yeah, i highly doubt it makes a difference, but SEO is not my specialization, so you can get better opinions from others.
