FROM THE FORUMS 16 GPWAtimes.org #5 PaulEchere 9 August 2023, 6:27 a.m. Private Member Just one thing to add about EMDs (in addition to the things already mentioned): It’s important to keep in mind that you can really have just one key word in your main domain name. While ranking well for one KW may be beneficial, you definitely aren’t creating your website for the sake of one KW (unless you are, that might also be an appropriate approach depending on your goals). Betting everything on being successful with an EMD’s main KW might not be worth it, unless it comes at a low cost. “ Reply With Quote #6 dannyx 10 August 2023, 10:55 a.m. Public Member EMD does not exclude the branded side. EMD is also a brand. Nothing prevents you from running branding, such as space theme or hundreds of others, or your own unique branded UX. Any domain will be for nothing if the site is weak. If the site is unique and great, it will do well in many different EMD or branded domains. Although to me this distinction is strange. Look at smaller businesses. You go for a walk and see an ice cream stand, often the signboard is simply ice cream and not Tropical Delights, at least you immediately know what is there. With a website even more so, because you can only see the address. Nowadays, there are so many super domain extensions that you can choose a super domain other than .com, .net and many other already obsolete extensions. “ Reply With Quote #4 robyroy 9 August 2023, 3:49 a.m. Private Member It is kind of risky to have an EMD if you have no strong experience in SEO, because it is really easy to over optimize your main keyword. In my experience, it’s more likely to succeed with a strong optimized landing page than an EMD. So, forget EMDs. Find a brandable name and go for it! “ Reply With Quote #7 wonderpunter 12 August 2023, 2:59 a.m. Public Member It doesn’t really matter, it used to, but not anymore. You can be called outlook India and eat every affiliate site for breakfast even if your content is AI subpar. “ Reply With Quote It is kind of risky to have an EMD if you have no strong experience in SEO ...
