Hello all,

What is the best approch for a website address in order to achieve a
high search engine result.

For example, is www.newcastleonline.com better than www.newcastle-online.com
if the keyword in google for example was 'newcastle hotels'?

Thank you,

Jon

Please don't spam this NG with your thinly veiled cries for and advice!

Just kidding - but I wouldn't be surprised if *someone* here doesn't
post that!


Regarding the domain. It's great if you can get a domain name that is
descriptive of what content is on the site, but not imperative. Having
keyword-keyword or keywordkeyword is good when trying to get backlinks.
It gives you a chance of always getting your keywords in the link if
only the link is posted with no anchor text.

With regards to which is better kw-kw or kwkw I would say that kwkw is
the more memorable for type in traffic. With regards to which the search
engines prefer I don't think that there is a noticeable difference.

Hope this s.

Jez.

www.newcastle-hotels.co.uk would be better than either.

Thank you for the reply mate. It was an honest question

I've been doing some reading and followed a number of SEO tips, but
before I register the required address (the above was just an example)
I wanted to make sure I get the right one. What do you mean by
"backlinks" and "It gives you a chance of always getting your keywords
in the link if
only the link is posted with no anchor text". How can a link not have
anchor text?

Thanks,

Jon

Thanks Phil, but hotels could be anything and therefore why I'm using
the 'online' bit.

I have however used friendly urls so hotels is a folder in the
address.

I'd get both and have kwkw forward to kw-kw.

The link might be formatted as
<a href="http://www.yada.com">yadas available here</a>
where 'yadas available here' would be spoken of as the anchor text
or as
<a href="http://www.yada.com">http://www.yada.com</a>

the latter being spoken of as having no anchor text or having the url
itself as the anchor text.

I recommend the one without the hyphen because it is more than likely
going to come up better when searching without the hyphen and the
hyphen could confuse others causing you to lose traffic.
