Domains/Filenames

Posted on November 2, 2006 - Filed Under Search Engine Optimisation

Google will search your domain name and filenames for keywords. It is therefore important to strike a balance between a domain that allows people to find your business and one that make Google happy - and filenames that are easy to maintain, human readable, but also help your ranking.

The V7 Network ran a search engine optimisation competition using the totally made up keywords:

v7ndotcom elursrebmem

If you search for that phrase in Google you should be able to see what sites with the keywords in the domain name rank very well and sites with the keywords in their folder/file names slightly less well, but still occupy the top spots.
