Domains containing exact keywords
It has been argued over and over again by many SEO experts and enthusiast whether keywords within the domain name matters. Well, I’m a firm believer and so I have collected domains heavily on that belief. As well, many people have valued the domains with keywords as well, as those are the ones most commonlyregistered, sold and resold.
In the Domain Roundtable 2008, Google’s Matt Cutt’s mentioned that keywords within a domain are given a certain amount of weight, even though they are not necessary to achieve a top ranking.
So what does this mean for the legal community. Nothing new, but if you have a domain name like NewYorkLawyer.com versus FirstnameLastname.com, or Bubbalaw.com, you now know that not only will the generic domain name appeal more to the online searcher, but that it may give you more weight in the search rankings as well.
Something to consider as you start to brand your law firm or law practice online. If you are looking for a generic domain name, check our portfolio and or email us as we have a rather large list.
