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.

Title Tags for Medical Names
Hi Everyone! I just transitioned into SEO in the medical spectrum and have never come across such long names. In terms of recommendations for character counts in title tags, what would be the recommendation? Write until it gets truncated (which is current state)? Use the abbreviation? Try to ensure the "plain language" words appear towards the front? Any viewpoints would be appreciated!

Having trouble choosing a domain for my new project
Hello, I'm starting an informational website. The topics that will be covered will be conspiracy theory orgone spiritual awakening kundalini Ancient Knowledge. and related topics The problem is that a lot of people coming in on conspiracy theory topics might not like a domain like trulyawake.com, yet that's what I lean to. I want it to be clever. Eventually there will be products and ads. Looking for a way to tie everything together. Thank you.

Why do my keyword ranking differ from the results on Google ?
I've been working on a specific campaign for a couple of days, and been noticing that my keyword ranking is much different on my campaign than in reality. I tried my keyword on Google (with the same settings I have on my campaign) and my keyword ranks at #5 instead of not in 50, as indicated on my campaign. Can someone give me a hint on this issue ? Thank you !

Is GKP giving accurate Broad vs. Exact results?
I'm using the Google Keyword Planner, trying to get an idea of search volume, and I'm finding that if I check "Ad Keywords As > Broad Match", I get EXACTLY the same numbers as I do if I select "Ad Keywords As > Exact Match". I even exported the spreadsheets, and put them side by side, and the only difference between them is that one has "Keyword Type > Exact" all the way down the column, while the other has "Keyword Type > Broad". How can those numbers be the same?! Anyone else seeing this, or am I doing something incorrectly?! Thanks for your input!!

How do you compare results using different tools?
We are looking at SEO as ways of promoting our online flip page travel magazine but its really difficult to distinguish the good from the bad and the downright ugly in terms of agencies to use. For example we are proposing to use an SEO agency who have come up with a long list of interesting keywords. The problem is that the degree of competitiveness which is listed alongside each keyword varies dramatically from the results I achieved by keying in the same keywords into the moz keyword tool. The agency says their results are achieved by using Google tools. Any advice on what to do would be really welcome. The website is www.eurotravelmag.com and the flip page magazine can be reached here: www.eurotravelmag.com/current Thanks David

Why will my site not rank for this keyword?
My site http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/ performs quite well for most of my keywords and gets ok traffic. But for "electric radiators" it just isn't ranking? I was thinking about redoing the landing page for it? Can anyone offer some insight as to what else I could do? Here is the current electric radiators page http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/electric-radiators-2/ Thanks, Laura
