Are Best + Keyword domain names still valuable?
 

I have a "best + premium keyword" domain name that I'm developing. It's in a niche that is exploding in popularity.

My question is do such names still have SEO value, or does Google (especially) and the others give "Best" domain names a spam penalization right off the bat?

I'm thinking of spending a lot of time and money (purchasing back links) on it, but wondering if I would be better off doing it for another domain name.

It is already getting a little search traffic, including Google, just from linking to it from a handful of my other sites.

When I type in "best porn sites" to Google, I see that toppornsites.com is number 1, and bestpornsites.co.uk is also on the front page, so it can be done. But I assume those sites have spent a fortune acquiring hundreds of good backlinks.

.AI is a good extension to look into

In summary, your "best + premium keyword" domain won't automatically give you a ranking advantage or a penalty. Its success will depend on the overall quality of your website and your comprehensive SEO strategy.

EMDs are no longer a magic bullet
Content and user experience are key
Not necessarily a penalty, but not a direct ranking factor
Potential benefits (indirect)
Increased clicks
User understanding
Focus on a holistic SEO strategy

you'll want to focus on:
High-quality, relevant content
Excellent user experience
Strong backlink profile

Those prices though, (especially with a 2 year minimum).

Yeah, i was able to grab a couple before that 2-year change.

Good luck with bestgimp.com
Definitely a growth market.

Yes, it defnitely is for an AI related site. I have one with an .ai domain with only a handful of backlinks and posts and it ranks well. Worth the fees I would say.

Thanks - sounds like it's worth it to develop and spend money on then.

Nice, we should have a chat about AI, see if we could collaborate :thumbsup
