Question regarding this, say I was to sell cheese, if I then bought the domain, www.tangocheese.com, would it rank well because it contains the word 'cheese', or would that be balanced to normal again by the fact it has tango at the start?

Hope that makes sense,
Ben

5) get some backlinks to it
6) rank for that site

Repeat 2-6, ad infinitum. All it takes is a day or 2 of effort.

It works, but it's kinda going after a quick buck. Not sure if it'll always work in the future, and you do have to be savvy. Hence the main domain fallback.

So you are saying forget about dragonfly-sameday-courier etc?

You mean something like www.courier-register.co.uk

IMHO Google are making a rod for their own backs with this. Small sites are springing up targeting keywords and adding to the rubbish that makes up a huge percentage of the webosphere. But hey, if you can't beat them

Great news for us, as we've got hundreds of domains like this

[dragonfly]

Thinking about this further would it be possible to tell google not to index the page depending on the domainusing meta tags? That way you would only let it have one valid domain as far as google is concerned. But the original brand would still exit. when people find it by other means. And any old links left lying around won't damage your ranking.

Be careful.

There is evidence that .info domains are treated as less worth than .com or .co.uk, and that is the word from test results on some paid forums I belong to.

Also.... I noticed today, on one of my targets that keywords in a subdomain are being given even more priority than keywords in the domain....surprising, but in one example I have seen, it is hard to find any other explanation.

Sure, google is giving FAR too much weight to keyword domains, but for every example of a cruddy result involving keyword domains their are zillions of solid results to the contrary.
Sure, I'd like to have something like "printing .co .uk" - but good holistic all round ethical SEO will win EVERY time in the long run

Does anyone know the answer to my question?
