      Is it still a vital tactic if you can get a keyword strong domain in your seo strategy.

      I have been using an outsourced link building company and we have been soing social bookmarks and directory listings and forum posts.  What i sthe best way to check if a link is good ?

      Look forward to any help, I am a new member

        Keyword domain names mean very little. What means everything is your actual company name and how trendy the name sounds and how easy it is to remember. Some of the best ranking companies in certain market segments don't have keywords but they are always #1 in every keyword search. Think about zappos.com which is the worlds largest online shoe store and they do over 1 billion in sales a year. No keywords in the name there but its short sweet and people like it.

        Now that doesn't mean not do it. Rather it means don't let this be your focus. A company IMO needs a quality name and slogan behind that name to show what they are about. We operate several websites and some that use keywords and some that don't. Ironically the ones that don't often dominate. If you have a good back links,  social media marketing and really good quality content, then your probably going to rank well. Its the cookie cutter websites that often have a hard time as they don't have unique content to go anywhere. Good luck and I hope that helps.

          Social bookmarks, directory listings and forum posts from an outsourcer are probably not good links. Good links are links you get editorially - guest blogs, linkbait, content marketing, high quality directories, etc. Good links are a lot harder to get than posting a bookmark or submitting to a directory. Don't get discouraged, though - there are a lot of good resources that can help you.

          Here are a few resources that come to mind:
