Exact Match Domains In Reverse?

alternatives for exact match domainsA while back I wrote a post (You DON’T Need An Exact Match Domain) that answered this question:

What can you do if an exact match domain is not available for a particular keyword that you want to build a website around?

In that post I listed 4 alternatives:

  1. Register the INFO exact match domain
  2. Register the keyword phrase with dashes
  3. Add a word to the beginning or end of the keyword phrase
  4. Register the keyword phrase with a non-relevant character such “x” or “v” on the end
I normally use either 3 or 4 when I can’t get the exact match domain name that I want, but just recently I have just come across another alternative that may be even better.

The alternative is to reverse the words of the keyword phrase. Here’s an example:

Keyword phrase: REVITOL CELLULITE

Domain name availability:

revitolcellulite.com – not available
revitolcellulite.net – not available
revitolcellulite.org – not available

celluliterevitol.com – available
celluliterevitol.net – available
celluliterevitol.org – available

This is great because it should have virtually the same SEO advantage that the regular exact match domain has. Also very few people (including myself up until recently) are aware of this technique.

I will be definitely trying this as my number one alternative if an exact match domain name for my target keyword phrase is not available.
