As we have been traversing through the realms of SEO, we have encountered some interesting aspects about domain names. For the purposes of SEO it is important to try to ensure your main keywords are contained in it. For example, a customer has recently bought lichfieldhomesandgardens.co.uk. This is a good domain for SEO as it contains their main search terms.

In fact as you surf the web you may notice this increasingly. This is against what was happening a few years back which was a trend towards ever shorter domain names. For example a client WDP were unable to obtain the dot com and instead opted for wdp.tv. When it became apparent that this was not much good for SEO they rebranded as Angel Paintball Sports, buying the dot com of the same name.

My point is that the two ways of thinking are now starting to come together since long domains are a drag to keep typing, so people are using the long name for their main name and submitting this to google and then a shorter name, often an acronym for email.
