Picking up EMD

EMD also known as Exact Match Domain can be of great use while considering SEO. SEO starters usually opt for choosing the exact match domain which is however a bad option.

Now you must question what an EMD or exact match domain name is?

An EMD is such a domain name that is usually provided with the keyword or keyword phrase itself. Due to which they are known as keyword domains. It sounds to be pretty hitting but definitely that’s not the case which is pretty mysterious. 

 

2012 Bygone history

In 2012, no other SEO strategy seemed to have magical power in front of exact match domains and more and more websites for attaining higher search engine ranking used to buy cheap domains which were the keyword domains and simply get first page ranking.

Google couldn’t see this effortless rankingand in turn banned this EMD strategy and its bygone now.

 

Brand name

Certain SEO marketers look forward towards a day when there will be no other SEO strategies and simply your brand name will be the intimate recognition and this will be the only SEO power, unfortunately we haven’t reached that day but brand signals are definitely a potential ray in the same pavement.
