Long Domain Names Make Room for Keywords
pick this up somewhere:
According to search engine experts cited in a report by ADNet International , the new 63-character domain name limit makes the biggest news in the Web traffic department. Under the new limit, strategic keyword phrases that were previously too long can now be registered as domain names.
The experts that say you can get very high rankings in search engines by selecting a domain name loaded with keywords and dashes, because search engines especially look for domains with keywords in them. (The dashes help make the keywords stand out.) For example, virtualhosting-webhost-web-host-hosting-service.com could be near the top of the results in a search for "Web host." Think about names like computersoftware-computer-software-program-shop-buy.com, or travel-agent-flight-air-ticket-airline-plane-trip-reservation.com for your business. (Before you build your site, though, you'd better check with your Web hosting company to make sure it can support the new long names โ some can't.)
Keep in mind, though, if you do decide to register a long domain name, while domain names with keywords and dashes are great for search engines, domain names without dashes are easier for people to remember and spell correctly. No one hears the dashes when you tell them your Web address. So you might want to consider buying both versions-virtualhosting-webhost-web-host-hosting-service.com and virtualhostingwebhostwebhosthostingservice.com, for example.
