Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi all.

I am currently helping a company that offers training courses and was wandering if Google would recognize 'Training' as a synonym of 'Course'  as effectively they both mean the same thing but seemed to be compounded?

So instead in my keywords/title etc.having.

Business Training Course

I could get away with only

Business Training OR Business Course.

In most cases the keyword difficulty for training is a 5% harder than course but as this is for a professional company and not a standard academic I felt training seemed more appropriate.

Hi Gyi,

That is very useful and informative (wow found some answers to questions I didn't even think about).

However, it doesn't specifically pick on the point that if I move the .co.uk to .com whether there would be a direct influence on my SEO? (I don't think I will be using subdomains with a gTLD for some time).

Hi all,

The .com for my domain name has become available (I am currently a .co.uk) so I am looking to move over my website to this but first would like double check if this would have any affect on my SEO at all?

As a company we mainly target the middle east (Although based in the UK) but at the time of registering years ago the .com was not available.

Do I have a 'history' logged with the current .co.uk domain or is my website solely dominated by the content?

Also, if I do transfer what would be the easiest way of doing this just changing the DNS to a different location (will there be a duplicate content issue on both domain names?).

Thanks in advance!!
