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.

Point an expired domain name to web page on website.
I've found an expired domain name with the words Electrical Inspection. its a .co.uk domain. Apparently this key word has a search query of over 1000 per 12 month. I was thinking of purchasing it and having it redirect to one of my pages which is for electrical installation condition reports which is basically an electrical inspection. Is it worth purchasing and pointing to the page on my website (redirect) and how can I go about making it known to google? submit to webmaster tools and create a blog to do with EICR's? thanks for any help and advice Kev ps I found it on https://www.expireddomains.net

For example, in the copy of my site, we reference 'buy local' instead of buy local. I am trying to optimize for buy local and I am wondering if the apostrophes are getting in the way? Thank you so much! -Sam0 -

To Meta Keyword or Not To Meta Keyword, That Is The Question
I can't seem to get a reliable answer on this one. It seems to be split down the middle as far as who agrees and who doesn't, of course some of that content is outdated. So, for today, should I be using the meta keywords tag or not? Thanks, Steven

Over 20 Categories, No Keyword Strategy, Can someone help?
Hello Friends, I have recently built a big site with nearly 300 pages (to begin with) and there are around 20 categories on the website. I want to get 3-4 keywords ranked for each category but I don't know how and where to begin. My site revolves around wedding industry but does not have a "Main Keyword" - not yet at least. A couple of "Main Keywords" (these keywords actually describe my website) that I thought of have ZERO traffic but I have few good keywords for each category. Can someone please suggest how do I begin with? Regards, Naimath
