Foresight is kewl
Having a good domain name makes SEOing a site a lot easier in many cases. Keywords in the URL are a nice boost to have in and of themselves, and if your key terms are there, it also means you’ll get a lot of good ancxhor text WITHOUT HAVING TO BEG FOR IT.
Look what’s going active - www.seoblog.com. Who wouldn’t love that for their root domain…? If the content is any good (and it should be), that should shoot up the rankings like a rat up a drainpipe. It’ll be interesting to watch.
