Will this domain name provide results?

Yep you sure can. (Won't be a HUGE issue if you link the two together since there are only two sites) That's actually what the search engines frown upon. Depending on your main focus (Which one you want to rank higher) you can use canonical tags.
You can use the canonical tag to point the lesser important one to the more important page. This will let the search engines know that the content has a parent site.

Can I really get dinged for duplicate content on two completely separate domains? I will do my best to create distinction.

Be careful with duplicated content since you are going to have two sites targeting the same product/service.
Try to be as unique as possible on each site.

Thanks Aaron & Lewis!
This site will be a standalone site that will offer this one product. We have also structured our core company site just as you both mentioned. Because this is such a huge product I thought it would be good to have a separate site for it. I'll be pushing it from two sites. It sounds like i'm headed in the right direction. Thanks again!

Hi Alexander
As mentioned by Aaron if the existing company domain already has authority or a string link profile then
www.company.com/contractor-license-bond may be the best approach. The new pages benefit from the strenghth of the domain and the URL has the 2 exact key phrases in it that you mentioned.
You can ensure the new page or section of the site is optimised from an on page perspective and then work on relevant link building to the www.company.com/contractor-license-bond page.

Obviously you won't receive the exact match benefits that contractorlicensebond.com would, BUT you will still get Contract out of Contractor and the LicenseBond part will help as well.
As long as you match your title and appropriate on-page aspects with that keyword you should be fine. Will take some time if its going to be a national target keyword (unless the competition is few and far between)
I would suggest ContractLicenseBond.com. Will this be a site entirely dedicated to a single product or will this be your company's main site?
If you already have a nice trusted highly ranked main website I would suggest purchasing that domain (Just to make sure you get it) and then see if you can create a page off of your main site for this particular product and see if you can get ranked for that keyword simply using your main website.
Page URL could be maincompanyurl.com/contractorlicensebond and then build out this page and start driving proper links to this page.
I could talk about this subject all day but if you need more details I will be glad to help.

Documenting keyword research results
I really struggle to document my keyword research results in a usable way. I know the strategy for finding keywords but I wonder if there's a spreadsheet template or some guidance on the process that could help me organise things better

Do references to neighborhoods and local attractions in body copy provide any benefit to geographic rankings for the city in which those neighborhoods/attractions exist?
A few years ago, some SEOs encouraged the mentioning of local points of interest in the copy of a page to improve localized rankings for the city in question. The argument was that a page mentioning "Wrigley Field" (in a natural-seeming manner) would be more likely to be ranked for "Chicago" searches. A similar argument promoted the use of maps (assuming they have a meaningful purpose) because of the neighborhoods, streets, etc mentioned on the map. Was this ever actually a benefit, and if so is it still?

Creating a Domain Specific Keyword Difficulty Score
Moz's Keyword Difficulty tool is great. Minus one thing... it does't take the domain itself into it's equation. Of course it doesn't take a lot of other things into consideration too like relevancy of domain but lets at least start with adding domain authority to the equation. I've come up with simple math that allows you to take the domain authority of the target URL into consideration. The Equation KD = Moz Keyword Difficulty
Keyword Research | | eyeflow
DA = Domain Authority
DS = Domain Specific Keyword Difficulty (KD/DA)*KD = DS Equation Applied URL: atari.com
Keyword: classic video games
KD: 69
DA: 77
DS: 62 (69/77)*69=62 You will end up with numbers larger than 100, but it makes sense. If your domain authority is 10 and you're trying to compete with a difficulty of 90 then you should be scared to compete for that term and the number should reflect that. Thoughts? Other ideas?2 -
Why do my keyword ranking differ from the results on Google ?
I've been working on a specific campaign for a couple of days, and been noticing that my keyword ranking is much different on my campaign than in reality. I tried my keyword on Google (with the same settings I have on my campaign) and my keyword ranks at #5 instead of not in 50, as indicated on my campaign. Can someone give me a hint on this issue ? Thank you !

Domain Name - Which is better?
I had a friend of mine ask me this question and I didn't really know how to go about answering. He wants to know if, for example, www.cardealer.net is better than www.car-dealer.com or vice-versa? Both seem to be interchangeable to me. I hate websites with dashes in them but obviously it is necessary in some cases... ".net" is not my favorite either. What would you recommend?
