Although branded domain names are popular with the advertising, marketing and branding managers of corporations, many Internet and search engine marketing professionals will recommend choosing a domain name; that is heavily influenced by detailed keyword and keyword phrase research. This often results in the selection of a domain name that is an exact match, to a popular search term or phrase. Also known as an exact match domain.

Although there have been countless instances, where an exact match domain name has out-performed a branded (non-keyword related) URL in Google search results, the Google search algorithm is far more diverse and advanced; than simple URL vs keyword recognition. The other factors that the search engine takes into consideration, can be used successfully to gain a competetive advantage over exact match domains. By utilizing the principles of good search engine marketing, like generating remarkable relevant content, developing a credible linking strategy and generate consistent website traffic, Internet marketers can improve their odds; against exact match domain competitors.

Before launching a website, blog or social media profile, businesses need to strongly consider the long-term value and importance, of the domains they are choosing. With so many other important decisions to make, entrepreneurs and business claim that they have very little time, to consider a website domain name; or social media URL. The Swamp Ass is warning businesses everywhere, that this is no excuse. Each domain name or URL that is picked, must consistently reflect the company's long-term marketing strategy and brand building efforts. As well, consider where desirable Internet consumer traffic originates from, and make a decision based on the search patterns and behaviors; that consumers commonly display there.
