This is an article to show you the fastest way to get top 10 in the search engines for your own website. This method always work, especially for keywords with low competition. But there are some factors you need to consider before using it.
Ok, here is the method in summary:
Simply use the keywords that you want to rank for as the domain name of your website.
For example, if you want to get top 10 rank for “migraine headache relief”, you can name your website as one of the followings:
migraineheadacherelief (.com, .net or .org)
migraine-headache-relief (.com, .net or .org)
If those domain names are not available, you can add a prefix or suffix such as my, site, guide etc. For example,
mymigraineheadacherelief.com
migraineheadachereliefsite.com
migraineheadachereliefguide.com
The idea is to include the keywords in your domain name.
Before using this strategy, there are some issues you should consider:
1) It’s not a loophole
This method works for competitive keywords. If you don’t believe, search for ‘acne’ and see which website ranks top.
But this method is NOT a loophole.
You still need to build links into your homepage.
The only difference is you need lesser links compared to websites without the keywords in the domain names.
This brings us to the next important point – keyword research.
2) Keyword research
The more competitive the keywords, the more links you need and the longer time it takes for you to get top rank for that keywords.
As a start, it would be a better idea to aim for less competitive keywords.
How do you know if a keyword phrase is competitive?
Simple. Below are my personal checklist:
i) Google search result for that keyword phrase should have less than 500,000 results.
ii) Some of the webpages in the top 10 results should have a PR less than 3.
iii) Some of the webpages in the top 10 results are internal pages of Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com, Blogger.com, Ezinearticles.com and/or Buzzle.com.
If I found a keyword phrase that satisfies all the 3 criteria, plus the keyword phrase has a good demand, I know that I’ve found another gold.
3) Branding
If you think domain name such as migraineheadacherelief.com looks ugly, you are absolutely right!
But if I am creating an affiliate site or Adsense site, I don’t really care whether my domain name looks professional.
If I’m creating a website that requires some form of branding, I may have to give this trick a pass. Alternatively, I will try to include as many keywords as possible while making sure that the domain name looks professional.
hi kenneth, with that little competition, you can rank pretty fast in google, and in fact one of my site 7dollars.com rank top 10 in google with little work at all!
Proson
These are very good tips.
Another trick is to check out the competition from shorter keywords to longer tail keywords.
If you checked out shorter tail keywords like “migraine” is way too competitive, then move on to “migraine headache”. And if it’s still way too competitive, then move on to “migraine headache relief”.
Typically, longer tail keywords are easier to win than shorter ones. If you have many long tail keywords that you win, you will eventually also win for the shorter tail keywords.

Thanks for sharing :-)
Excellent tip. I totally agree that making sure your domain has the keywords you’re targeting works fantastic. I find my domains always rank number one on MSN and Yahoo, but Google it takes a little time for it to even get placement in the top 10.

Hi Kenneth,
Thanks for the excellent and informative article. I never knew what a “competitive” keyword actually meant so thanks for that great tip. It will help a lot down the road as I continue to do research for my next site.
I like the analysis of how to find less competitive key words. I’ve never seen it spelled out so simply. Thanks!
Hi.
I have heard to brand your own name first even when there are no keywords in it and putting the keywords in the meta-tags. That way you can market anything you like with it.
thanks.
Thanks Kenneth, I liked the keyword advice something I sometimes forget about
Rich
Thanks Kenneth,
Until now I did not have a total grasp of the keyword connection to the domain name. Thanks for this excellent blog post. I do have a couple of domain names, but they don’t relate well to the web page. Have a couple of changes to make.
Joe
I’m working on that now.
Hi
That’s a good little tip to use. Aside from it benefiting you in the SERPs, it also helps people identify immediately what your site is about.
Hey Kenneth,
Just a suggestion… shouldn’t you include having keywords in the title and also meta-tags?
Of course. Those are the fundamentals. :)
hey the above methods are astounding! Thx
Hi Ken,
Thanks for the advice. I’ve seen it work before too.

Thanks for the tips on keyword domains Kenneth. It’s my understanding that google also favors the .org domain extensions too. If you have any info on that it would be appreciated.
The other thing that you might take note of is that once you find a lower competetive keyword phrase you should also make sure that it is actually being searched.
You can do that by entering it into google keywords tool to check on the number of actual searches it gets every month.
Just because you find a great long tail keyword phrase doesn’t mean that people are actually typing that into the search engine to get results.
Thanks again for the informative post, I’m sure it helps all of us that struggle with getting the top 10 spots in our niches.
Tom
Yes, niche keywords in domain name does boost search engine rankings!
Hey Kenneth,
This method works most of the time when there’s not much competitor for that particular keyword.
I’m looking forward to your next posting and I hope you will talk about how to really dominate the first page of the search engines for a particular keyword no matter how many your competitors are.

I been experimenting with my name and the results are going no bad! for example if you type Alfonso Ruiz Blog you will find me on the first page of about 198,000 pages on google. Or if You type just Alfonso Ruiz my blog will be on the 6th page of about 500.000. But i believe that this is just the beginning.
Thanks Kenneth,
Very interesting post,we like talking about keywords and how to get top10 on Google.Of course i am hoping to see my blog there,only it is not so easy.
But,what i wanted to say now is how i feel angry to see some links open as i look for a topic iam interested in,just to know they are not satisfied -don’t deserve to be in first 10
How they get there?
Then, i must go further to find what i was looking for.
Thanks
This is a great source for a total newbie who is struggling to figure out the whole internet concept. You make it seem simple and I am trying to get it all put together..Thanks, Tom

Just to answer one of the posts here.Alfonso Ruiz says:if you click on his name he is the first on the list.Very nice,you can do the same with my name:Slavica Todorovic -i am 1st as well.But, problem is: i need to know who you are!
I heard for best known marketers,but i don’t know you.Unless you are Brad Pitt.
I see a difficulty for me in my niche:How to stay young,i can’t reach the first pages on Google-there are many sites.The same thing is by using term :Searching for Secret Grail.
I need to figure out a way to get my blog ranking much better.
Thank you

Hi Kenneth!
This strategy you`re showing us is working well, I just got one niche site on the first page of google.
Thanks for your advice.
Yes your right putting your main keywords in the name of your domain really does work also .info works great too and godaddy has them for 99 cents.

Nice tips for selection of website url. I am agree with you totally. Thanks for sharing this informative post.
little competition in keywords also mean less traffic, at least for a short term period
Thanks for your good tips about The Fastest ways to get Top 10 of Search Engine. I always use these tips in my SEO process too.
HI,
Thanks for sharing. I just started a new blog for my company. http://www.careeratsingapore.blogspot.com
Wonder how often do i have to post and update so that i can appear in top 10? Maybe it is impossible?
Thanks.

Very amazing, I spent 1 hours to read all your great posting. Very worthed and amazing share. Something weird is why I can’t stop myself to stop reading your posting, always line per line, sentences by sentences and just always want to read it more.
pretty word, and good point. thanks
Yes that was a great info. I think I’m gonna apply it to my blog. Thanks for sharing this great tips.
Another trick that I learned -via Alvin Phang,is to use the title of a popular subject.In his case,he used ‘Singapore Car Show” or something like that in his title and his seo ranking skyrocketed.
In my case,I used “Chilean Miners” as part of a subject title and I’m sure whether it was because of that and/or addimng the ‘All Seo plugin”,or ‘wwhatever’ to my blog,but when I went to add my blog to google,I decided to do a search for ‘consistent marketing’ first,only to find it on page 1!
No idea how it happened(it’s slipped since then),but I’ll take it,just the same!
Another trick is buying and using an expired domain,or in my case,using a domain I had used 1 year agao,that was available.
Afterall,I’d done a lot of promotion work,so I thought I’d take advantage of the fact that the domain was listed – out there in many places -somewhere!
Thanks for the tip. This process really works.
Getting related backlinks to your site is also very important.
Hi Kenneth.
thanks for sharing this great tips
Nice post Kenneth. Exact match domains are a good way to get
quick SEO love.. but Google has been cracking down on these EMDs..
You’d still need to create quality content on your site and
get quality backlinks for high 1st page rankings.
But there is still nothing wrong with EMDs in my opinion.
