do vowel-less domains count to google? - GoFuckYourself.com

d-null · 08-06-2007, 11:55 PM

It is said that having a keyword in your domain gives extra consideration by google in ranking that domain.

I'm wondering if the same consideration is somehow given to vowel-less representations of long keywords, especially for short domains that often are very relevant?

just for example, say the keyword is PORN, would PRN.com get keyword consideration points for "porn" by google?

how about if the keyword is CHIPOTLE, would CHPTL.com get extra consideration for that keyword?

I highly doubt anyone/anything is going to interpret prn as porn (especially since it has so many other meanings) and thinking chptl is going to be short for chipotle is really a stretch.

True, especially for low and medium competitive terms.

It may rank a little better for "prn" searches, it may get some typeins from people forgetting the "o", but that's it. It has an advantage over TEF.com for example: People looking for "porn" may click on a link from PRN.com more often when they see it than on TEF.com, since it's more related to their search term. That's where the rumor comes from. It won't rank better, but people may still click more often.

Same as above.

What about if you own pic.com and somebody searches for "picture"?

Pornwolf · 08-07-2007, 04:56 AM

C'mon dude. I know you understand what a "KEYWORD" is.

It's not called Key-abbreviation or Key-acronym... it's KEY-WORD. Ya gotta have the full, correctly spelled word or nothing.

Pic will get searches for pic. Picture will get searches for picture.

But surely because "pic" is a string of the first three characters of the word "picture", "picture.com" would turn up in the search results for "pic"?

Ok, I see you are playing stupid to whore your sig. You know what we are saying.

I respect the game but I'm not commenting after this. Good plan.

In honesty I wasn't - I was just holding out hope for a future project that will involve a domain without any vowels.

Confirms my theory then, here's one of the search results for the term "pic":
