Make it easy to spell and to remember.

[hostmaster]

If your business already has a real world presence, you should normally continue using the same name. Keyword domains are out - branding and name recognition are in

[HostEase]

Domain is important to a company,domain should be related to your business and should be remembered easily.

Choosing a proper domain name containing your major keyword or business name is very helpful for SEO purposes.

But this is not all conclusive, if you can't find the domain name you need, you can still use other domain name but you must exert extra effort to brand your business with your domain name. Branding takes time but it really does help in recognizing your business like ebay and amazon.

A domain name could be: short (bo.mu, do.fo) or unique brand name (google, yahoo) or keyword domain + exotic extension ( eg. hosting.cc, super.tv, online.tc, play.gs )

Your domain should always be connected to what you intend to say in your content. In fact, your visitors should get an idea of what they are going to see by your domain name.

hi,
its a typical question when we look at branding a website, normally for Search engine purpose website name plays a vital role, but this all is done to gain a good position for a website(organic search result).When you concentrate on branding a webiste, domain name might not be a issue(think about ebay and amazom).But here it takes some extra efforts and continuous process to brand your website and as well as rank in SERP.Branding a website has huge impact on the conversion percentage of the visitor when compared to normal visitor visiting your site through organic results.

I want to say that you should give preference to the words for domain name which is relevant to your services, select words which are easily remember and visible in search results after searching them.

Completely true… finding a decent domain name is todays marketplace can be extremely frustrating, but as said, don’t spend forever worrying about your domain name. Pick one and focus your time and efforts on the product/services/content on offer.

I don’t think search engines see domains like this keyword-keyword-keyword.com to be untrustworthy, but a longer domain name definitely dilutes the weight given to it by the search engines. Thats why webdesign.com would be worth more than top-quality-webdesign.com under the search term web design.

Keyword in domain name is good to perform very well in search engine. But, If we will concern with branding so, short & quick action domain name can help us. I want to give one best example with my current industry.

I am working on eCommerce website. [Spider Office Chairs] My domain name is performing very well with Office Chairs keyword due to construct with that keyword. But, BizChair is my competitor & performing 100% far better than me & gathering too much direct traffic with help of easy domain name.

if you want to have website for a short term, then its better to have on keyword based, or else for a longterm and want to create brand name in web world.., so better go something different by which people can remeber and easy to type

Choosing the right domain name is very important especially for bloggers, internet marketers and online companies. That is the power of choosing the right domain name and one that you should not take for granted especially if you are just starting out in building your own website or blog and if you are in the process of finding and buying your domain name.

Naming your website same as your keyword is beneficial especially when posting to directory links that only allows the exact name of the site as title; it wouldn't look spammy. But just like what TS mentioned, along with a kw optimized domain name, work must be continued through SEO and SMM for popularity and branding.
