Nothing is a silver bullet. However, if you are trying to displace websites that all sport domains with the keyword in question in them, it's one area where you're behind. However, it's absolutely untrue that that is a dealbreaker. We outrank sites that have much more optimized domains simply because there are so many other factors involved generating traction.Dave McAnallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614038579264586658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801791854570793542.post-54578305815203316932008-06-28T10:10:00.000-05:002008-06-28T10:10:00.000-05:00Dave,Very interesting post, indeed I ran through y...Dave,<BR/><BR/>Very interesting post, indeed I ran through you previous post on Web Analytics for SEO. Thanks for sharing your insight.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to know if "Are there keywords in the domain?" is mandatory if you want to rank well in search engines? <BR/><BR/>I do understand about the other factors but sometimes you just don't get the domain name (with keywords) you want and you end up going with one that un-fortunately doesn't have the keyword.<BR/><BR/>But again, if the other factors are optimized properly don't you think the keyword in domain factor can be ignored or do search engines still prefer domains with keyword in them to rank higher?<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>VinayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
