The longest domain name ?
September 25th, 2005 by Vamsi
I was wondering if this is the longest domain name:
top-seo-google-search-engine-optimization-ranking-specialist.com
[have a look at the site]
I am sure this is the longest domain I have seen.
7 hyphens, 8 words and 69 characters (including .com)
Some one tell me if thats the longest one.
And you know why its so long?
Ever since the SEO Pros recognized the potential of keyword friendly domains, people started booking all the keyword domains out there. Even I blocked a few keyword friendly domains, but with somany hyphens and words and running on wordpress, if the Permalink structure is made keyword friendly (like the URLs in my blog) this site can be the home for some of the longest search engine friendly URLs. But no one is really sure if these long keyword and hyphen domains can survive the long run and the future search engine algorithm updates.
EDIT:
I found some more.
1. llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch.com
2. thelongestdomainnameintheworldandthensomeandthensomemoreandmore.com
3. thepersonwithanewideaisacrank-untiltheideasucceeds-by-marktwain.com
#1(65 characters) is the oldest one
#2(68 characters) comes to claim and
#3(68 characters) I am not sure what this is upto.
May be its a good idea to own a 68 character domain?
I’ll think of it.
Have suggetions for me ?

Unless I’m planning to hit the Guiness book of records or something I wouldn’t want such a long domain name.
You would need tinyurl to reduce it’s lenght

Ideas for a very long domain name?
What is the max charactersize?
Because there is absolutely no reason why you can’t make a long name…..

63 is the max length, + .com is 4 char, so thats 67 there. if you go for a .info, so we get a total of 68 in case of a .info
But I was wondering how come the above ones are 68 char .com domains.
