How to be #1 on Google
The single most powerful SEO technique is to have your targeted keywords in your domain name.
I offer Personal Training for people who want to lose weight, get fitter or train for road races from 5k to a marathon.
When someone wants to find a personal trainer, they would naturally put those words into Google. However the search comes up with national companies. The thing about personal training is that it’s PERSONAL, it can only be offered one-to-one, on a local basis.
So I reckon the prospective customer would then put their hometown into Google to get local trainers. I live in Leamington Spa. If you put “Personal Trainer Leamington Spa” into Google you get me as the first organic search. The only entries above me are paid adverts.
The reason for that is simple. When establishing the website I chose the domain name “Personal Trainer Leamington Spa. co.uk
Obviously you cannot have too many words in your domain name, so you need to choose carefully which keywords you want to focus on. Usually that means the words you think will be most profitable.
If you are establishing a new website, you need to bear this in mind when picking a domain name.

lol a few of the opinions many people put up are just absurd, every now and then i contemplate if they honestly read the documents and reports before leaving your 2 cents or if perhaps they pretty much look at the subject of the post and submit the very first thought that comes to mind. at any rate, it really is pleasant to browse through intelligent commentary now and then compared to the very same, old oppinion vomit which i commonly notice on the net i’m off to have fun with a smattering of rounds of zynga poker have a pleasant day

hey there useful little web page ya got here
I use the identical theme on my own blog however for what ever issue it seems to stream earlier on your blog despite the fact that this site has way more material. Have you been using any kind of plug ins or widgets that speed it up? If you could quite possibly show the programs so maybe I could use them on my own web site so twilight new moon users could watch twilight breaking dawn online trailers and films quicker I’d be grateful – cheers ahead of time 
My secret is NO PLUG-INS!
Actually I do have one; the Spam filter Akismet...... Plug-ins eat memory. Think about deleting any you don't use.
