URL-wrong choice??

[nicolaann]

Am having probs getting my site to come up in searches, after much time adjusting metatags etc and thinking my probs may be domain name itself. My domain name is easyridernz.com. My site is for motorcycling tours in NZ, motorcycling, nz and tours are keywords in most of my site pages but as you can see they arn't in my domain name. What do you think? could this be the problem?

also, how many characters can you put in a domain name?

Thoughts appreciated!!

Re: URL-wrong choice??

I can't really comment on the keywords, I'm no SEO expert. (However I would probably put a space inbetween new and zealand)

As for the domain name, you can up to 255 characters. However you want to keep the domain name as short as possible. If you make it too long it will be harder for people to remember. (If its harder to remember then a dozen numbers your defeating the purpose of the domain name).
