Long-Tail Domain Names

A long-tail domain name refers to a domain name full of keywords that are targeted to your topic or niche, generally separated with hyphens. The idea of long-tail domain names is that you are better able to compete and profit with your web site by utilizing these more targeted or long-tail keywords over a more generic keyword with substantial competition. An example of a long-tail domain name would be “los-angeles-california-italian-restaurants.com” versus the more generic “italianrestaurants.com”.
