Aplogies if this has been asked before.
What influence does a URL have on the rankings. If i wanted to be ranked top for say the term 'company services' and had the domain 'www.companyservices.com' how does it increases the chances of high ranking, if i have implemented all other general principles of optimisation.
would it make a difference if the domain was 'www.company-services.com' or 'www.mycompanyservices.com' etc
how much influence do the TLDs have on the ranking, ie is 'companyservices.com' more likely to be picked then say 'companyservices.net' etc.
thank you in advance for your help
kind regards
kess
