Saw your site and If I am not wrong, I think you business is only serving
certain areas.
I have a site only serving local community and I got a lot of respond just by putting stickers of my web address on my cars, relatives and friends' car.
I never worry much about all those search engines optimization.
Thanks for your reply.
Yes you are right, its only for certain area and I started doing just that posting. I guess we went to the smae school of thought.
your domain name http://www.chacon-chamul-underground-utilities.com might be too long to be remembered and
also hard to read if got to be read like this:
chacon hyphen chamul hypen underground hypen utlilities dot com
Suggestion, How about just www.UndergroundWorks.biz or something else (.com Unavailable)
Some hints on what to name your domain and website.
4. Hyphenated Names?
Should you get a hyphenated name? There are a few things to consider here:
a. Disadvantage: It's easy to forget the hyphens when typing a name. Many users are used to typing things like freecpluspluscompilers.com but not free-c-plus-plus-compilers.com. They'll probably leave out the hyphens and wind up at your competitor's site.
b. Disadvantage: When people recommend your site to their friends verbally, having hyphens in your domain name leads to more potential errors than when the name does not contain hyphens. For example, how do you think your visitors will refer to your site if it is named "acme-books-and-videos.com"? They might say, "I visited Acme Book and Videos dot com yesterday. It was fabulous." Their friends, remembering that comment later, might type into their browsers "acmebooksandvideos.com". Oops.
c. Disadvantage: It's a pain in the neck to type. Enough said.
d. Advantage: Search engines can distinguish your keywords better and thus return your site more prominently in search results for those keywords occurring in your domain name.
e. Advantage: The non-hyphenated form may no longer be available. At least this way, you still get the domain name you want.
Personally, I prefer to avoid hyphenated names if I can, but I guess it really depends on your domain name and your situation.
