Almost every single word been registered as a domain name already, there is actually no way to register a simple important keyword now. However, I was thinking maybe double or even triple keyword as domain name. for example, I'm planning to build up a e-store selling fashion accessories. fashionaccessory.com & fashionaccessories.com are registered by someone else already. even fashion-accessory.com too. How do think If I pick up fashionfashionaccessory.com, or maybe topfashionaccessory.com do you think it will help me to get higher rank when people type in 'fashion' or 'fashion accessory' to search?
The only real use of the domain names that you are considering to register is that the searcher may remember the name for a return visit if they havent book marked it.
There is also the remote possibilty the the searcher may type-into the search engine search bar your complete URL without spaces .. they might find you then but i doudt it.
The domain name has no influence on the search engine result at all.
Are you absolutely, positively, sure about that?
iecwillow, Welcome to WebmasterWorld! You should remove the specifics from your post.
If you went ahead with something such as this, you'd want to go for a hyphenated version of the domain name, as hyphens are generally interpreted as spaces. For example, www.bishbashbosh.com will appear as one word to a search engine, whereas www.bish-bash-bosh.com will appear as three distinct words, so makes more sense.
In terms of how user friendly such a domain would be - well - it wouldn't be really; not necessarily the kind of domain name that sticks in the mind and is easily typed in.
That said, if you're aiming to rank well in the results then people aren't necessarily going to notice the domain name - they'll simply click on the link in the search results!
My two penneth on the subject, although I certainly don't claim to be an expert on this SEO malarky!
R.
Here is an example .. search google for .. land sales .. do you see landsales.'anything' in the results? even as "land sales"? i found one land-sales-uk.
Ok like i said argueably everybody has their own opinion on this.
Actually not an opinion. It is a fact that domains play an important role in the overall relevancy factor. This is something that has been going on for years.
A quick search on this board and you'll find many topics discussing the benefits of domain names, directory names, files names, etc.
Yep. How important a role domain names play depends a lot on which search engine, and exactly what is the target search term. Anyone who has looked at this seriously has seen clear evidence where domain name was an important factor in rankings.
If I really want a keyword in my URL I can always use:
www.examplebrand.com/kw-kw2/kw3.html
...unless i am spamming 0:)
To the question of iecwillow.

Example, being the pre-emptive word .. if the domain was really the one you were seeking above then here is what you can do ..
The prime .com is owned by one of the largest domain name holders in the World, it is pointed to a PPC and all worthwhile extensions are taken, you have no chance to buy the name as it is a Type-in name and the man from Hong Kong wont even reply if you did make an offer to purchase the name.
What is available for registration fee at this time stamp is the singular name in the .net TLD, or the hyphen versions are also available in plural for .org .us .info
According to most methodoligy the TLD shouldnt matter if your purpose is only search engine key words, and forget about the type-in values.
Just my freebee for the day, good luck :)
Here's another one:
Suppose the search engines decided that hyphenated domain names deserve an automatic yellow flag, and were put under intense and rigorous algorithmic spanking?
Where would your site be?
Nightmare-scenarios-r-us. This is how I keep myself awake at night.
You enter a few words and it gives you a bunch of variations including relative terms, (ie- "store" would also get "shop", "shoppe", estore, i-store, etc..)... I've found a few good ones using it.

Suppose the search engines, in an effort to prevent manipulation, decided to limit domain name matches to one word, ignoring or penalizing the rest of the words in your domain name?
Have seen something very similar in operation recently in Google. Domain name = entire search phrase (with no hyphens) resulted in the domain name being dropped into oblivion a couple of months ago.
This was a page that had previously been #1 for the phrase for the best part of a year. All other pages in the domain continue to do well ...
