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?

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

For the biggest search engines it doesnt really matter.


www.buy-books-now.com

is just as good as

www.z6g4f.com/buy/books/now/buy-books-now.html

BUT , that being said, with domains so cheap , if you nail a good spot, it sure helps the surfer decide if the domain clearly matches the words.. ( common sense never hurts )

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

What he said, this is my opinion as well. Better to have the keywords in the domain, but if not possible, without them will do, if you optimize for all the other elements.

I agree with SmokeyTheBear - I think if the keywords are in the domain the surfer is more likely to click on your site than a link that has no keywords in the domain.

the domain isn't as important as it used to be, but some posts in this thread make some valid claims

The domain isn't important, but some times
it's can help you to get more traffic.
