I want to start a website but in order to get a high SE ranking,
I am thinking to get keyword specific domain but the problem is
it's already taken....

My question is...is it possible to have the same result if you put i or e or even my in front of the domain name and receives the same result.
E.g. I want dog-food-tips.com but it's not available so
I choose idog-food-tips.com or edog-food.tips.com or
my-dog-food-tips.com
are the latters will have the same result?
IMO matching domain name to specific keyword I'll be targetting will be a huge boost and I am really thinking to get a great one.

Can people share their thoughts about this?

Personal opinion here but I'd never go for a hyphenated domain name myself. There are FAR too many crap/spam/parked domains like it.

If you see the following two domain names, which are you more likely to click on?

www.unbeatablecarinsurance.com
www.unbeatable-car-insurance.com

My own knowledge would suggest that people instinctively know that they're less likely to go off to a link farm if they go for option #1.

As for your questiuon about "i" or "e" in from of the name, if you're going for a hyphenated domain name it will affect you because the SE's will pick up on three words:-

idog
food
tips

That means you'll be low on "food" - 624,000,000 results
low on "tips" - 581,000,000 results
high on "idog" - 599,000 results (which inciidentally is a robot dog who loves music)

AND who will be searching for "idog" when they want food for their canine friend?

Hi irsankao,

There's another way to go about this.It's called domain name branding.

There are two things that one should keep in mind when thinking of a domain:

1)Easily brandable or memorable;
2)Contain the name of the business

Some online brands that use this strategy are eBay.com,Amazon.com,Google.com,Yahoo.com etc

The one thing they have in common is that they don't use any keywords be it generic or specific for their domain names.

A good advertising & promotion strategy + in demand quality services/information/products will help bring in the traffic to your website andthis will definitely give your website a boost in rankings.

Hope this helps
