The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SEO naming a domain to best advantage to win local  clients

Asked by Ossie_Jesson in Internet Marketing, Search Engines

Tags: SEO for local business

I am marketing a local  business  in three nearby towns .
I  am  seeking to chose a domain name that will  be a good start in the quest for clients from the , or with an interest in, the  locality.  
Lets say is selling jelly in localtownname
The domain jellyinlocaltownname.com [or.co.uk]    is not available (for any of the 3 towns) .

jellyin.com (and ,co.uk) is available

My plan is to then use /directories on this one site   as below and load the same " site "   into all three directories with some minor changes

   i.e.   jellyin.com/localtownname1
        jellyin.com/localtownname2
        jellyin.com/localtownname3

Considering just the domain name at this time .without any additional SEO applications or features
How likely is it that, if I go ahead with this scheme,   in due course ,if someone who lives in towns 1-3 and types into a search engine " jelly in localtownname " will arrive at my site?

Please rate it 1- 10     1 = little or no chance
                                       3   some slight chance
                                     8= high likely
                                      10 dead cert

Please score this for me .
Adding a little substantiation for the answer  would  be welcome too  as it would enable me to understand  how SEO works in a little  more depth
After having scored my plan  alternative suggestions for the domain name would also  be welcome .
 e.g.  jellyinlocaltowname.net  or .biz   or .??
If these were available should they  also be considered ?
 Thank you  in anticipation
