Okay, we don't need SEO :-)
Regardless, it's not my impression that the domain name plays much
role at all in Google's algorithm. After all, domain squatters
nearly never show up on the first page of results, despite that
most of the squatted domains are seen as valuable keyword wise. To
get good pagerank we just need inbound links, is all.
keywords in the domain do help - I'm pretty sure spam is filtered by
other means too - like hiding text, too much repetition, 'spam-like'
terms. As well as inbound links (which I reckon won't be a problem),
in my experience the best plan is to have well-constructed and
machine-readable semantic markup with genuine and regularly-updated
content.
Since we now have a domain, maybe the topic's over?
Webmastering & hosting, anyone? I'm willing to pitch in.
