domain name and indexing From jwj on 29 March '01 We are having a heck of a time coming up with a domain name. Our company has a confounding name, "Photri". It's a photo agency. All the viable .com names are gone so we have to put the (hard to memorize) company name in the domain name. Question is, if we put the word "photo" or "photos" in the domain name itself, does this help with search engines? --as in "photri-photos.com" Also, my supervisor seems to think that the word "Photri" in the domain name will be of value since it has the same "root" as the word "photo". Are there ANY search engines that are programmed this way or is my supervisor wrong on this?
