Domain ODP

Domain name same as catagory titles.

Would it help in SE ranking to have the same domain name as the directory names of ODP? I.E Shoppinggifts.com ect.

hi otnot,

i don't think that this makes a difference - checkout the varoius discussions about brand or keyword domain names here instead.

Hi Hakre:
I read all the posts and what I came away with is that everyone is split on branding vs. domain name. I tried several combinations of this on google and the sites that have a combination of ODP's indexing keywords as a domain are definately ranked much higher than not. I'm always looking for a legitimate edge to the top.
