Choosing the right name for your website Domain is much more important than you can imagine,
It should have those criterias : Easy to remember, very easy to spell, easy to tell, short and subject to the web site you own.

Even that your domain name is on  your business card , its not quite sure that your clients are going with your business  card in their pocket.

So what you should focus on when choosing the domain name ?

first , not consider the SEO issue.
second , make your domain name unique
avoid using numbers, its annoying your clients

Choose the .COM domain name and NOT antything else..
It is good idea to register both the short term of the domain name you decided and also the longterm for both ways of misspelling.

WebMatsers Tips for Getting Higher Page Ranking

1. Incoming and OutGoing LInks:
Try to balance between the links that are from your site and those that goes in to your site.
2. More content pages:
Make sure that your site contain content pages with visible text to the user .
3. Relevance Keywords between text:
Use keywords and pharses that are relevance to your site subject.
try to Avoind from SPAM Words and use only real dictionary words.

4. Choosing Keywords Wisely

Closely behind link trading as the number one SEO technique is keyword choice; keywords are the words or phrases that people enter into search engines in order to find whatever it is they are searching for.  If you want your site to be listed (and listed high) you need to think carefully about the words people could use to find your site, and use these keywords in appropriate and relevant places in your site.  You also need to think about keyword density and keyword positioning if you are to use keywords successfully.

If you’re building a site from scratch, you should be thinking about keywords when creating the pages that make up the site as well as when producing content for the site. Keywords need to be used in your page titles and in META tags as well as in the content.  You also need to think about using keywords in heading text, bold text and in lists.  Using keywords effectively, however, is far easier than choosing keywords effectively.  Similarly, if you’re working on improving the rankings of an existing site, you’ll need to review not just the content, but the markup behind the pages as well.

Knowing what people are searching for is obviously a fundamental part of keyword choice. If you don’t know what people are searching for when looking for something related to your product, service or company name, then you won’t be able to choose effective keywords that will improve your ranking and ensure that people know about you.  Most general, non-technical people will rely on search engines to find any of the things that they buy online, and most people take search engine listings as recommendations, using sites that only appear near the top of their chosen search engines results.  Choosing effective keywords is about making sure your site is ranked highly in returned search results for the most commonly used search strings. You should focus on choosing keywords that not only focus on your products and/or services but also on your company’s name and related subjects

What is Google Sandbox..?
Well in one sentence its the fear of every new web site. 

That was the short way , Here is the detailed one :

Imagine you had a lot of icons on your desktop . and one day , your Boss is telling you to arrange every item on your desktop and files.
What are the first things you would do ?

Items and icons that you know where they belong to , probably would be the first you will arrange . and icons/items that you didnt decide what s with them you left to the end of that task.

Lets go to search results for a moment.. and imagine that Brand new domains and websites are showing up everyday . and they become popular in less than one month , by building a rapid link exchange and link trading program . With that situation Google will show a terrible results , of new , unsorted and incomplete websites that just got popular by builiding link exchange program .

So what Next ? It seems (and prooven) that google detects new websites and record their initial status .. (links, ranking.. etc.) Than after a period of unknown time. it discover that a Large Amount of Links were build into the web site.. Ooops. it turn on a Flag says : Optimization Occour Fast . Than it is well known that a very competitive subject is beeing promoted with this website subject . That take on another flag . And the last one is the Age of the domain name . which is brand new.

Those factors made a new websites enter to a SandBox , go down at the bottom of the search results.

SO , What next ?
How to Avoid Sandbox inclusion ?

How lond does it taked to get rid of the sandbox ?

Is someone ever thought how link exchange should work in a real world ?
well this discussion is open and here is my first opinion :

When someone have a links page to share , he might want to share this links with same subject websites. so he/her share this link on the web and on the other side, people that have common subject links may contact the former owner and establish a link exchange.

So i think it is much more complected . When you have a web page with 5-10 links+description and anchor text you may want to increase the popularity of this page , with search engine optimization process. when coming to link exchange it , you may want to achieve at least the same value of a web page in return , but what is that mean ?
here are few factors to consider :

  1. Location of the page in search engines.
  2. Which words are focused on this page ?
  3. The PR of the page
  4. how quality are the back links to this page.
