Should I use "My" or "Your" in the domain name?

Either or. Depends more on what you plan to sell with those domains. I own several "your" domains for good keywords but I also decided to turn it into a kind of "brand" for myself where I have 4-5 related sites all labeled as "your."

In an ideal world, you wouldn't use that prefix at all BTW, but for competitive topics, it can be a great way to get a good domain...

try OurName.com...

Its not the best idea, but not due to being non-exact match or too long. In fact forget about the domain being too long just by adding "your" in front of it.

The reason it is a bad idea is if the non-your or the non-my domain is taken and being used, then your customers are going to end up forgeting the qualifier "your" or "my" and just type in the name. In essence, you will be sending free direct traffic to the competition and building THEIR brand.

You just trying too hard to get a domain name. Make it simple, put "my" or "your" may just lose out your keyword.

but if you have to do so ...then choose "my" rather than "you" while it sound welcome more to with "my".

If you have to use "my" or "your", I think it depends on the niche, and what you are presenting. In some cases, "my" may sound like the site owner rather than the site viewer, while in other cases the opposite is true. If I say "My weight loss" who lost the weight? Or, who will lose the weight?
If I say "My weight loss" and then tell you how I lost the weight, and you can too, it changes the meaning of "My weight loss".
If I say "My weight loss tool" how is it different from "Your weight loss tool"? Which is more memorable if I'm trying to lose weight?
Do you see what I'm saying?

I hope this helps,

"My" was popular in 2004 - move on please!

Nobody searches with my or your,
better to have, what your site is about, with kesss characteors

No ... I wouldn't. I never use a prefix on my keywords. If necessary, I'd add a word at the end of the keyword.

Neither.

If you need to add letters/words to a domain-name, it's important to add them after the keyword, not before.

Is this for SEO, or just something that stands out?

I ask because- Iwillteachyoutoberich is a LONG domain name that nobody used to search for...

But since the creator did such a good job marketing it and putting quality content, he's done just fine.

I wouldn't use it, it's become really cheesy and provides no SEO value.

Think about what the user will type, use the free keyword tool, and google insights to find out what is trending.

I'm not sure what *Name* is in your example, but I hope my example gets you going in the right direction.

If I'm a user searching would I search for.
"How to fix MY sink"
"How to fix YOUR sink"

Good luck

If you are doing it for branding purposes, I don't know. If it is for SEO purposes then I don't think it matters. A lot of people here don't seem to realize that it is really hard to find an exact match domain in more competitive markets.

Just to make up an example, I am sure something like BMXbikereviews.com is taken. But mybmxbikereviews.com might be available.

I know that most people aren't going to actually search for my bmx bike reviews, but that doesn't matter. If they search for bmx bike reviews and your site is optimized for that keyword and has good backlinks it will still rank well. Having my or your at the beginning isn't optimal, but if it is your only choice then go for it.

If you find a good keyword you think you can rank for and make money with, but can't get the exact domain you want, it would be stupid just to move on to another topic. One of my websites actually has "your" before the keyword in the domain, and because of optimization and backlinks it gets plenty of traffic for several keywords-and nobody uses "your" in their searches but that doesn't matter.

I use a domain which has 'my' in it: seomyseo.com ... I am yet to see how it does but no complaints so far. I think as long as it is a well put together site, that is all that matters. Good luck.

It's perfectly fine, I have many domains with the prefix your in it, many which have had high rankings and made me money, and I've also seen many sell on flippa for a lot of money with that pre-fix in it.

I wouldn't overthink it, it's really not that big of a deal and it has minimal difference on ranking. As for using "my" or "your" (I prefer using your, seems more directed, but it really depends on the context of the phrase).

i will use "my" in domain
