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.

Help with understanding how to target keywords not in content ?
I have a customer suggesting the use of keywords related to his competitors but not in the content of his site or how he promotes his brand. The page content is product specific and I use keyword matches for page and site strength. 1.) Does it hurt or help to load up the keywords with misc. keywords (example- the site is for a premium product use the terms "cheap", "affordable") 2.) Any suggestion for almost blank/generic landing pages ? 3.) Any benefit or penalty for using fewer keywords on multiple pages ? (example - target 6-8 words on 30 pages) I need a few discussion points for my next meeting and to clarify my position.

Is 15 keywords enough to properly optimize content for an entire domain?
I have recently moved in charge of a 95 page web portal that has around 8 categories of content. The SEO agency I am touch with has sent me a proposal that says they will do on-page optimization for this domain for 15 keywords. Should that be enough? What should be my expected outcome? My promise to the client is that core pages from his website will show up early on the SERPs. If they can do this, I am fine with it. Do you think I am getting the right deal? Should I be asking for more?

Help with creating SEO video for my industry
Hi There, I'm currently producing some SEO videos for a friend of mine who has a video website for the driving instructor industry and I'm going to make some videos for him on basic SEO (overview of Google, finding keywords, content, google places, meta titles / descriptions, urls with domain name in etc, link building, etc etc).99.9% of people in this industry dont know much about website and SEO etc, so dont have tools such as SEOMOZ, wordtracker etc. Therefore I cant use these tools to get people finding the best keyword which are not too competitive for them. Does anyone know if there is a keyword difficulty tool equivilent out there to SEOMOZ which is free, as im having trouble finding one (Google keyword tool doesnt do this). (I will be mentioning doing the 30 day trial etc, but some people will not like giving their credit card details and then cancelling). Thanks a lot. Antony

Will words added to the end of my title make the page in question less relevant in Google's eyes?
Hey guys, I've always wondered about this. Say I'm targeting the keyword "how to sell your house" but I find it a bit bland or generic and my client actually offers a service more in line with "how to sell your house quickly" - say that's their USP for example. I still want to rank for the broader version however, because far fewer people are searching for the "quickly" version - and it stands to reason that if searchers can solve the same problem quickly, they'll want that version of the solution anyway. So will adding the word "quickly" to the end of the keyword I'm targeting (and using that in my Title, H1, URL, description tags etc) make Google see my client's page/site as less relevant to a broader search term like the more generic "how to sell your house", that I'm trying to rank for? Thanks 🙂

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?
