For example, the description meta-tag, content, internal links, inbound (back) links, site/page age, authority, etc. If you are not performing as well as other sites, you only need to strengthen these other signals. | |

Google realized the foolishness of exact domain name matches and how easy it was to game the system by just having a keyword loaded domain name. In this case you described, Google is not only examining your domain name as keywords, but also weighing how your site and other sites perform for these keywords. If you want your domain name to perform better for these keywords, you need stronger signals for these keywords. It is not automatic that any site will perform well for any terms within it's domain name. This is not an indication of a problem. | |

What I really don't understand is why Google if I'm searching for "myuniquewebsite" and after selected "Search instead for [myuniquewebsite], it shows before results like "my-uniqque-web" "my-uniweb" etc. than my perfect match. This is insane. It seems that google wants push me to use adwords. | |
