Most domainers attempt to set some sort of keyword for their domain but is it the best keyword? What experiences have you had with keywords and what have you found has worked the best?

Hello All,
What I like to do is choose a keyword to suggest... Using Fabulous as my parking provider, I try to pick a related keyword that provides the domain name or something very strong in relationship to the domain in the top two or three related search links of the Fabulous park page...I do this because those links/terms will show up in the title of the page and the title will be the title in the Google results hopefully followed by some copy of publisher ads on my page, adding related content to the serp description. I feel a title is a very important part of getting one to click on a search engine indexed result. Is my choice of suggested keyword the best paying? I am not sure, hard to tell, but Google does offer some tools to suggest what publishers are paying for keyword terms, sure miss Overture. I have to admit I am a bit lazy to investigate each suggested keyword/phrase I pick...rather go by gut instinct and how my title will appear in the search engines.

A newbie-ish question, Goggleyed - does 'keyword' literally mean you select just one word, or could it be a two-word phrase? I've had difficulty finding (or believing that) a single word will generate relevant ads and links on my parked domains (none of which are single word generics). Found your approach insightful, though... - glenn

Hi Glenn,
I have found most of the time the type domains I register and park with Fabulous, their software does a pretty good job of "nailing" the term and supply good relevant links. Occasionally I will interject my own keyword or key phrase to obtain my desired affect. That is to have the first two or three related links (on a Fab. page) contain my domain name or something very strong in description to my domain...because...those first two or three related links will show up on the title of your browser and if your indexed, I have found many of my names indexed well at Google that title will be indexed as well. And that is a great way to optimize the domain via additional related keywords for any serps.
Like you I don't own any single word dotcom's, rather my domains are more term phrases. I do have lots of two and three word names, and fear to admit anything more than that. haha I will say I have several short story names, and this works well for those, I have seen lots of hits come from related searched terms probably more so than direct navigation.
This is within the terms of service and I would think recommended, as everyone is better served by having the best possible advertiser links fitting the domain.

No, it's not what Fabulous does. I find that what we do at ParkLogic is not limited to one parking company. This provides a much greater scope for increased earnings.
