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.

How much does Domain Authority effect the keywords I can rank for?
I've been doing some keyword research and i've found a few gems. My site is currently sat at a 18 domain authority up from 12, so it's great to see the improvement. Although I was wondering, if my domain authority is sat a 18, can I compete with keywords that have a difficulty of 50-60? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Sam

Point an expired domain name to web page on website.
I've found an expired domain name with the words Electrical Inspection. its a .co.uk domain. Apparently this key word has a search query of over 1000 per 12 month. I was thinking of purchasing it and having it redirect to one of my pages which is for electrical installation condition reports which is basically an electrical inspection. Is it worth purchasing and pointing to the page on my website (redirect) and how can I go about making it known to google? submit to webmaster tools and create a blog to do with EICR's? thanks for any help and advice Kev ps I found it on https://www.expireddomains.net

G's Keyword Planner - 800 kw limit on search volume results?
I'm trying to use Google's Keyword Planner to pull the search volume for a large list of keywords (2000+). While you're able to upload a CSV of up to 3000 keywords, the search volume search only returns a maximum of 800 keywords per query, which is an issue as I have no idea which keywords it's cutting out. Is there any way around this? I have looked around online, but haven't been able to find a solid solution. Thanks in advance!

My page was removed from Google search result, any idea why?
URL: http://id.gamesinasia.com/review-smartphone-xiaomi-mi3/ Hi, So last week I wrote a review about a smartphone and after a couple days my post was at 6th (first page) in google search result. But yesterday it was suddenly disappeared from google search result (not even in 10++ page). Normally I just have to wrote title page + games in asia, like "review xiaomi mi3 games in asia" and google will show me the post but now it wont even show. In fact two other site that simply scrap my content was showing on 1st and 2nd result! More info: All the content was original, including the image. We are also Yahoo (Indonesia) content partner so my review also ends up in yahoo site ( https://id.berita.yahoo.com/review-xiaomi-mi3-sebuah-angkatan-baru-dunia-smartphone-121537236.html) I'm not expecting a super high ranking, but google is punishing the page and I have no idea why. Thanks!

I sell machinery branded Co-matic. Most people search Comatic so I was wondering if I should change my keywords from Co-matic to Comatic. Would the change have a significant impact on SEO? Thanks!

Google search results
Does Google always return the results of a search query in a broad based fashion if the searcher does not use brackets or quote marks? Or, do they display the older domains of sites with authority under the broad based parameters and newer sites only if there is a possible exact match? How does Google decide which type of search results to display? Thanks for any insight. I
