This is a http://focussearch.com.au product Exact Match Domains-The Pros and The Cons In our previous episode, we discussed the different types of Exact Match Domains and how they can assist your website. While currently opinions are divided as to how helpful EMDs can be for your website, it's important to know both the positives, and the negatives, associated with them, and whether they are the best option for you and your business. The Positives: • If chosen correctly, an Exact Match Domain can be a great way to kick-start your website and start getting some relevant traffic. It's far too easy for your website to get lost on the Internet, so a good EMD can help stop this from occurring • With EMDs your website has the ability to dominate a single niche, particularly if its in an industry that has very limited usual keywords • They can also be very effective in local searches; EMDs can help you benefit from online users that are looking for something specific in their area However, it's also important to note the disadvantages that are associated with choosing a specific Exact Match Domain, and whether these cons will have a long-term negative impact on your business. The Negatives: • Your brand can come off as generic and it can be more difficult to associate mentions with your brand. Furthermore, over time this can cause brand confusion • As perfect as your match may be at the time, EMDs have the ability to limit brand expansion in the future, and you're also less likely to get 'credit' for brand mentions • However, the number one negative of Exact Match Domains is one that gets worse by the day; there are only a limited number of them. Over time, not only have they gotten more expensive (if you want a quality one of course), but the effectiveness of them are slowly wearing off as other forms of SEO join the mix As with all other SEO techniques, Google's algorithms give you the opportunity to increase your rankings and boost your traffic, if you use them in a fair and helpful manner. Since the release of the Penguin and Panda updates, relevancy in Exact Match Domains has continually been on the rise, encouraging websites to prove their quality specific metrics. Overall, EMDs have an ability to make a massive positive difference to your website, but it's important to understand how to use them. When they were first released, many businesses realised the advantages they could have within their niche market, but as a result used and abused them, giving them a somewhat unnecessary bad reputation.
