Domain Names Help SEO

I read an interesting blog post today from Brent Hodgson of Market Samurai about domain names and SEO. Using Market Samurai he was able to demonstrate how valuable a good keyword rich domain name can be to a site’s search engine optimization efforts. Getting the High Ground With Domains shows how a smaller website with fewer backlinks can beat out bigger and highly financed competitors.

Brent goes on to say:

Good domain names make SEO a whole lot easier.

They leverage or magnify your SEO efforts – so that each link you build, or article you create, counts more heavily towards your rankings – so you can put in less work than your competitors and still get the same (or better) effect.

This gives you a strong advantage over your opponents.

Think about the value of getting better results, with less time and effort.

Could it mean you have more time on your hands to devote to improving your site in other ways? Could it mean you get more visitors? Could it mean more sales? Could it mean bigger profits?

These opportunities to leverage your results in SEO are rare.

Using keyword optimized domains is one of the few “jiu-jitsu” SEO techniques that still remain effective, allowing you to use the search engines’ heavy bias towards keyword optimized domains to your advantage.

If you are looking for some keyword rich domain names for new sites, sites that are young, or simply to keep your competitors from getting them, I have access to many that are currently registered and are available for resale. Domain Names For Sale By Chris works by an offer system. Just find the domain that you want and make me an offer. You might be surprised how cheap these domain names can be.

Of course, the list is changing, but as of this writing, here is a sample of the affordable premium domain names that are available:
