Will this domain name provide results?

Yep you sure can. (Won't be a HUGE issue if you link the two together since there are only two sites) That's actually what the search engines frown upon. Depending on your main focus (Which one you want to rank higher) you can use canonical tags.
You can use the canonical tag to point the lesser important one to the more important page. This will let the search engines know that the content has a parent site.

Can I really get dinged for duplicate content on two completely separate domains? I will do my best to create distinction.
-
Be careful with duplicated content since you are going to have two sites targeting the same product/service.
Try to be as unique as possible on each site.

Thanks Aaron & Lewis!
This site will be a standalone site that will offer this one product. We have also structured our core company site just as you both mentioned. Because this is such a huge product I thought it would be good to have a separate site for it. I'll be pushing it from two sites. It sounds like i'm headed in the right direction. Thanks again!

Hi Alexander
As mentioned by Aaron if the existing company domain already has authority or a string link profile then
www.company.com/contractor-license-bond may be the best approach. The new pages benefit from the strenghth of the domain and the URL has the 2 exact key phrases in it that you mentioned.
You can ensure the new page or section of the site is optimised from an on page perspective and then work on relevant link building to the www.company.com/contractor-license-bond page.

Obviously you won't receive the exact match benefits that contractorlicensebond.com would, BUT you will still get Contract out of Contractor and the LicenseBond part will help as well.
As long as you match your title and appropriate on-page aspects with that keyword you should be fine. Will take some time if its going to be a national target keyword (unless the competition is few and far between)
I would suggest ContractLicenseBond.com. Will this be a site entirely dedicated to a single product or will this be your company's main site?
If you already have a nice trusted highly ranked main website I would suggest purchasing that domain (Just to make sure you get it) and then see if you can create a page off of your main site for this particular product and see if you can get ranked for that keyword simply using your main website.
Page URL could be maincompanyurl.com/contractorlicensebond and then build out this page and start driving proper links to this page.
I could talk about this subject all day but if you need more details I will be glad to help.

Question about brand name in title
I know this has been covered a million times but I cannot find one related to mine as far as brand goes. We have a 3 word company name (brand) and all three words are excellent keywords. We rank decent in google and other search engines, but I did not know if I should put our brand all together, or keep them spaced since I am using the keywords in the title in other places. Our company name is ex. A B C Title page is as follows and I am showing where our company name appears in the title for our pages. I am just not wanting to stuff the keywords in the title, although it is hard not to with our brand. I do not want to give out our company name. Below I am showing where part of our name appears in the title of pages. The (C) in the first part of the title is singular. Our name and brand for C is plural. I hope you understand. After 10 years in business we are redoing some things to make it even better. Moz Pro has been wonderful tool for us, the last 40 days. Main Keyword B C | Secondary Keyword | A B C Should it be Main Keyword B C | Secondary Keyword | ABC Thank you all!

Very different SERP Results
Hi there, I am having some big issues when it comes to getting accurate SERP results for a client http://www.airandice.com.au/ The keyword in question is "air conditioning installation" Moz is giving me a result of 47 Incognito chrome is giving me anywhere between 8-12. Same when I changed it to Australia search as well. Firefox is giving me 8. Incognito is >100 Now my workmate who is next to me, same network and setup and he is seeing Incognito Chrome - 54 Firefox Incognito - 8 And a third computer in the office on a different network is throwing out different results again. This is real confusing as I can't get a clear idea of where this keyword is situated. Results are varying from 8 - >100 Has anyone else seen or had this problem? It is a 1st for me. I know that keywords fluctuate each time they are searched but this is a huge fluctuation.

G's Keyword Planner - 800 kw limit on search volume results?
I'm trying to use Google's Keyword Planner to pull the search volume for a large list of keywords (2000+). While you're able to upload a CSV of up to 3000 keywords, the search volume search only returns a maximum of 800 keywords per query, which is an issue as I have no idea which keywords it's cutting out. Is there any way around this? I have looked around online, but haven't been able to find a solid solution. Thanks in advance!

Should we change our site domain name to include our keyword?
Our niche has one keyword phrase that is much, much more active than any other comparable phrase. Let's call that phrase "math problems". Within this phrase, the "math" is absolutely the most important keyword, as it is also used in every spin-off search phrase, like "math answers", "math practice", etc. We've had our domain since 1996, and is currently the company name - "Rocketproblems.com". Over the last year (2010-2011) our SERPs have steadily dropped to the point where we're not getting a sustainable level of business from organic search, whereas in 2009 we were doing fantastic. However, we've also had "Rocketmathproblems.com" since about 2000, just gathering dust. What I've noticed from the top search results is that nearly every domain has either "math" or "math problems" in its URL. Do you think it's worth it to switch to the keyword-rich URL? It is a bit more verbose, and the "Rocketmathproblems.com" v.s. "Rocketproblems.com" example perfectly captures the different feeling. My inclination is that SEO is only becoming more competitive, and if we aren't getting worthwhile business from organic search at the moment then we should bite the bullet and make the switch for the future, along with ramping up our content generation. However, I also noticed that in late 2009 a previous webmaster switched to "Rogermath.com" but switched back within a month when our SERP for the key phrase was a page lower - I gleaned this from a Moz Juicy Keywords Report :). Thoughts?
