Domain Names Throw Around Their Weight

Written by Jason Barrett.  Posted under Domaining

I keep getting more reinforcement on Google adjusting for keywords in a domain name.  Take a look at a Google search for “handyman” and see what you find.  Try another one for “plumbing“.  It is the same thing.  If you want to SEO your website, you should start with a good keyword-rich domain name.

The sites that don’t have the keyword in the domain still get by with a keyword in the page name.  Regardless, it is a good time to have a generic domain name.  Not only do they get type-in traffic, but now they are getting a little more love from the engines.
