Question about domains and search engine rankings
I am building a website for a realtor. It seems that if the domain contains the search words (e.g "homes" and "Denver" and "realtor" to denverrealtor.com or denverhomes.com) it would rank higher in search engines than those with those words only as metatags.
Is this true? What is the best way to get high on the list?
metatags are important. Use all affiliated tags possible, homes for sale, homes, denver, real estate, realtor…you get my drift. Secondly….search engines browse your content looking for the same text that is in your meta tags. Make good use of your text. The more you use your tags in your text, the better the engines like it
3rd. Let the search engines know you are out there, submit your site to as many as you can.
4th Links, Get as many reputable sites to link to you as possible, Link to reputable sites yourself. I cannot stress how important it is that sites you let link to you and that you link to be REPUTABLE.
5th. Keep your content fresh. Update your site weekly
6th. Networking, good old fashioned networking among your peers is still as important as it ever was.
7th. Emails, email your peers and let them know your site is there, traffic plays a role in SEO
good luck,

Yes, actually the words in your domain do have some effect on your search engine rankings. Google and the other popular search engines consider hundreds of different factors when ranking your site and the keywords in your domain is one of them. Granted the domain won’t instantly make you rank for a keyword, it will have some slight effect. But the problem is that you can only really put one or two keywords in your domain, and you are probably going to want to target a few dozen quality keywords if you want to get decent traffic. I would suggest using keyword rich text and a lengthy link building campaign. The best way to improve your sites ranking is to have as many quality links pointing to your site as you can. Ask friends or people you know for links and even try emailing other sites for link exchanges.
