   Absolutely, you hit the nail on the head. If someone links to us, they’re likely to add spaces to make it more readable, eg ‘ABC Engineering Jobs’, and that’s good SEO for the site. We can see that happening quite often in links to the main site – ‘work circle’ – although it’s much less useful!

   umm actually keywords in domain names are very important!
   just look at todays search results. Maybe they only play a small part in the whole “getting to the top” thing, but when you get 150,000 web results, those top 10 places are only a small fraction of results. Sure, we can all build the same websites and have the same seo done for a certain keyword, but the only edge you can have over any other company is the keyword domian, or one containing it.
   i think what Workcircle have done is a very wise move, shame they couldnt get

   Thanks for the comments – the very point I was making was that keywords are important in domain names because of the link anchor text when people link to you. Keywords in a domain name without anyone linking to you using those keywords are – rightfully – irrellevant to Google. Try registering a domain such as ‘my-great-keywords.com’ and have every link pointing to it saying ‘motorcycle’. It might well show up for ‘motorcycle’ but unless the site’s CONTENT and META contain “my great keywords” a great deal, the keywords in the URL are useless.
