What do you suggest me?

Yes! Rand reached out to me and informed me the Oracle package is:
-
a round trip ticket to Seattle
-
a date with one of the Seahawk Cheerleaders: http://www.seahawks.com/cheerleaders/sea-gals-roster.html
-

-
and of course the next day tickets to the game: http://www.seahawks.com/schedule/game/2011/regular10

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.

Newbie Keyword optmization question
I'm optimizing this page: http://gainesvilleholistichealthcare.com/treatment-options/acupuncture/ This is for a local, Gainesville, Fl acupuncturist. The words that show the most search volume on GKT for the city of gainesville are "acupuncture" followed by "acupuncture gainesville fl". Will optimizing for "Acupuncture in gainesville" or "Your Gainesville Florida Acupuncture solution" optimize it for both of these important terms? I guess my question really is, how specific does the match between the searcher's phrase and the KW's I use need to be.

Domain Change, Lost ranking on 1 keyword
Hey guys, Long time follower of the Q&A forum, but don't post too often. I'm having an issue I never came across. We changed a domain from mpbuilderscincy.com to mpcincinnati.com. We did the 301 redirect and all the SEO flowed through pretty well. Most pages didn't even change in file structure so we didn't need to do page redirects for the most part. Anyway, long story short, we are seeing the same rankings as we had before now (it's been about 2 months) except for 1 and only 1 keyword. It's "Home Remodeling Cincinnati". We dropped from page 2, to page 11 on Google and it won't budge. Now on Yahoo and Bing, we are right back where we were before already with that keyword. But Google just refuses to bump us back to where we were before the change. The Home Remodeling page: http://www.mpcincinnati.com/Residential-Services/Home-Remodeling.aspx has an on page grade of A for that keyword and we have it as one of our main keywords on the home page of the site (title, h1, alt tags, etc). No errors on the page. I mean it looks pretty clean for this page as far as SEO except for 1 notice that mentions the 301 canonical redirect. We uploaded the new sitemap right away. I just can't put a thumb on it and wondering if you guys had any tips. Thanks, Chris

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 🙂

Question on keyword rankings
Hi everyone Within our campaign it says that we rank number 35 for a specific keyword in Google in the Unites States but when we google the specific keyword we come up as number two on the first page. Can you help me understand what the current rank is based on as well as how it's results can be different from our Google search? Thank you.

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

Switching Domain Names
I own two domain names, smallbusinessdoer.com and smallbizdoer.com. I set up my site at smallbusinessdoer.com. Initially I wanted to keep the full "business" in the domain name as I thought it would be good for SEO. I'm now thinking it would be a lot better to have a shorter domain and I do own the smallbizdoer.com domain (which is currently forwarding to smallbusinessdoer.com). If I flip that around, forward smallbusinessdoer.com with a 301 redirect to smallbizdoer.com, what are the implications? How long will I lose link juice with the 301 redirects? Does shortening business to biz help for URL length or usability? Thanks for any input!
