finally, a personal guarantee my favorite television show, House, will return to it's former glory of the first few seasons
Ok, I have no idea about the reward. Perhaps now is a good time to mention I never received my t-shirt for 1k points? Here's hoping "something special" is not a stuffed Roger bot

I was thinking the same actualy, did you get the "something really special" promised?
-
Thanks Alan. Guru sounds better if you ask me, but I'll graciously accept any title the mozzers wish to share

Congrats on becoming a Oracle

I rule I go by, if the budget is small, then keyword domain name is a great advantage. but with a large budget the advantage of keyword domain diminishes against domain authority, link count and the like.

I am a big fan of building a strong brand. An if you want to capitalise on a keyword loaded domain then make sure it's an exact match or as close as you can get to it for a search terms that you know carries relevant search volume. Set it up as a fish-net site which (again in your brand) captures that slice of the traffic and focus on the big picture with your main domain.
-
I have no suggestions other then the best practices which apply to most websites. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Yes, i figured it out, but at the moment i dont have peoples here for Human Resources, but i will take with a time.
The brandname is without hyphens, and only with 6characters.
is memorable, how you read and write some characters, can't make any misspelling etc..!
I think is danger to take a job domain and to optimize the on-page with job keyword, backlinks with jobs, maybe is danger for a new site, for that reason, i think to increase the link metrics authority of DA and PA, with a brand-unique name, naturaly way and all links moderated, and after 2-3 months or 4, to start with link building with exactly anchor text, i hope i can avoid the spammy better than any jobs domain.
if you have any idea, for a startup, it would be nice to hear it from you Ryan.
-
It sounds like you have it all figured out then.
-
You decided you wish to acquire the ccTLD for your country
-
You decided you want to establish a unique brand name
With those decisions in place there is not too much left. As I suggested earlier, avoid hyphens in your domain name. Ideally your domain name will be as short and memorable as possible.
Good luck.

Hi Ryan.
My idea is, idont like to include the word " job " or " jobs " on domain. Because i am making a unique strategy for marketing, and idifferent unique tactics on marketing to hire visitors and company's too.
I like to start the website on my ccTLD, and the unique name i choosed, is unique internationaly unique not only on my country.
I am doing seo for a long time, and on my country are maybe 4 strong competitors for jobs, and thise websites are not so so strong on ranking, i can take the best places with a time, because i have a strong relationships with universities here and newspapers.
My goal is, to make a well-strong website for jobs, oriented for peoples and search engine, the development its finish now, site is 30% easier then competitors to use.
Price maybe the same, or 20% less then competitors, but at the begining i will do for 3 months for each company one submission for free.
We have some nice unique selling points through social media websites, we dont know if we will be successive, but we will try.
I am experiences on ranking, i have down for big real estates here, etc.. i hope with the jobs to do the same, but the jobs site is my website and not for a client.
Thanks

There are many articles on choosing a domain name. Some suggestions:
-
try to obtain a .com URL. If the one you want is not available, then consider the ccTLD for your country or a .net domain.
-
avoid hyphens in the domain name. If you do use a hyphen, don't use more then one.
-
Branding is an excellent means of distinguishing your site. If you can successfully establish a brand, you will earn branded searches and have opportunities to perform well in ranking.
-
you may want to consider building a brand and mixing your site focus. For example "SEOmoz" is a brand, but it also includes the site's focus, SEO, in the name.
The actual name should come from your ideas. What is your inspiration for creating this site? Is this one of 20 sites you run? Or is this a longtime focus. Do you have a physical location where you have offered job services for years? Or is this an idea you whipped up to earn a bit of side money? The answers to this questions along with your niche will help to create a name for your site.

Keyword Ranking Research Question
Hi Mozzers,This is probably a nooby question, but I was wondering how you guys end up deciding if a Keyword is too hard to rank for? Also vice versa, when do you decide that a keyword is too low volume to rank for so you try to rank for a harder keyword? Eg.

Creating a Domain Specific Keyword Difficulty Score
Moz's Keyword Difficulty tool is great. Minus one thing... it does't take the domain itself into it's equation. Of course it doesn't take a lot of other things into consideration too like relevancy of domain but lets at least start with adding domain authority to the equation. I've come up with simple math that allows you to take the domain authority of the target URL into consideration. The Equation KD = Moz Keyword Difficulty
Keyword Research | | eyeflow
DA = Domain Authority
DS = Domain Specific Keyword Difficulty (KD/DA)*KD = DS Equation Applied URL: atari.com
Keyword: classic video games
KD: 69
DA: 77
DS: 62 (69/77)*69=62 You will end up with numbers larger than 100, but it makes sense. If your domain authority is 10 and you're trying to compete with a difficulty of 90 then you should be scared to compete for that term and the number should reflect that. Thoughts? Other ideas?2 -

Thoughts on exact match domains to keywords? If your domain isn't an exact match, do you recommend buying another domain and getting a 301 redirect?

Is the order placement of a city name in title tag very important?
Is "Austin Plumbers" much different than "Plumbers Austin" in the eyes of the search engine and best practices? I would think that Plumbers Austin would have more search volume. But Austin Plumbers is easier to work in to sentences in the body. Does Google sees them as the same? Is it ok to use Plumbers Austin in the title tag and use Austin Plumbers in the body or should I choose one target phrase and stick with just that? If so should the city name come first or last?

Domain Name - Which is better?
I had a friend of mine ask me this question and I didn't really know how to go about answering. He wants to know if, for example, www.cardealer.net is better than www.car-dealer.com or vice-versa? Both seem to be interchangeable to me. I hate websites with dashes in them but obviously it is necessary in some cases... ".net" is not my favorite either. What would you recommend?

Do building sites on expired domains help?
Many times I have wondered whether building sites on expired domains, which are sold at popular domain auction websites like TDNAM(Godaddy),SEDO etc. Is it of any worth ? Buying domains with existing parameters such as PR,Alexa ranks etc. and already indexed pages where these expired sites rank on keywords which one is looking forth and then building sites on these domains to promote your other sites. How successful would this trick be?
