| What should i name my forum for seo reasons
I know this sounds funny. I don't know what to name my own site, but from a search engine stand point. I know page title is one of the most important if not the most along with H1 tag. Just not sure. My company name is Devilsown Injection. I sell Alcohol Injection kits for cars. "car parts" A lot of people refere to it as Water injection or as Methanol Injection. So i put up the title as alcohol injection - water injection- methanol injection. But its kinda makes my links long etc. I just switched the domain over from devilsownonline .com to alcohol-injection .com to help seo. Just worryed about spaming things too. My site does decent for the term alcohol injection but would like the other words like water injection to be brought up by the forum. www.alcohol-injection.com/forum So anyone with any seo experance I would apreciate it. |

Well, if you were choosing based on one of your 3 target keywords, I would find out which of them generates the most searches and decide that way. However, you might not really need to overthink it. I think you would be safe to keep your old URL (devilsownonline.com). Or you could co-brand it with your biz name and keyword component: Code: devilsown-injection.com Code: devilsownonline.com/alcohol-injection/ devilsownonline.com/water-injection/ devilsownonline.com/methanol-injection/

Thanks you very much. I had thought about the devilsown-injection I just saw alcohol-injection and grabed it. The problem with alcohol-injection, is i have many pages that have alcohol in the title. so i was worried about spaming alcohol Just like with my title as it is now I have injection 3 times. I was thinking alcohol - water - methanol injection by Devilsown you think this might be betere seo wise. I will also do the subform idea for my other 2 key words. |

I think you will be ok. Did you lookup the frequency of searches for each of the terms?

I like using my Google AdWords account to get estimates on daily traffic per keyword phrase & to get suggestions on related phrases.

keyword-domains are so 1999.... branding is in. Give it a shot. Save the keyword urls for the subfolders and pages.

K, well i went on a head and bought devilsowninjection for 10 years while i was at it too. Now I am not even sure which domain to use? I just switched from the devilsownonline to alchohol-injection alittle over a week ago. I never like devilsownonline but my partner bought it before i ever came along. Online in a domain name makes me cring. But I do have over 50k links pointed to that site acording to silktide I believe i have 10k now to my alcohol-injection.com Search popularity is Water Injection - Alcohol Injection, Then Methanol Injection. They are all terms for what i am trying to sell. I have only had vbuliten for alittle over a week I have read many how to on this site. Hopeing for the new template to come out soon But as it is now not sure which domain to use and not sure of the title for my page. I grealy apreciate eveyones help. |

For branding and for SEO, devilsowninjection.com is the best of the domains, all things being equal. But they're not all equal. You just brought up another piece of the puzzle in your post. Exactly where did you get 50k links to devilsownonline.com and 10k for alcohol-injection.com in just a week? Are they all (or 99%) paid links or link vault or some other link coop deal? That sounds like a big red flag since you've said you're not really that experienced in seo. Tell us a little more and the brain trust here can give you some suggestions. Ross |

I noticed my links going thur the roof once i started advertising on places like. www.ls1gto.com SRTforums.com etc. I have no link exchange, link vaults etc. I would pay to advertise on these sites even if i didn't get my link on all the pages. |
