A solution to get quick exposure:
Since my website just got lunched 3 days, i still have time to change my domain name. I decided to do is:
Pick a domain name with keyword tacked before domain name as of: {Keyword}Brand.com (looks ugly)
Keep it for at least 1 year till my site get fair exposure, just to reach to my competitors.
Move back to Brand.com (Probably). I know i will loose ranks, but it won't be hard to bring it back because the website is already being exposed and used by many.
Question:
Do you believe this is a good temporary solution?
Hence, The keyword is non-English word.
So get everyone to learn your name and then change it and get everyone to learn your new name? Does that sound like a good idea? Why not build a strong foundation and then keep building upon it? Races are marathons, not sprints. Think long term, not short term. If you're actually good at what you do you will eventually outrank your competitors for all of your keywords even without your keywords being in your domain name. If you're not good at what you, then hacks and tricks like this won't help you anyway.

I have developed a website for a firm that deals in pumps, valves and diesel engines. They require that when an interested user searches with some keywords like "Pump Dealers" or "Valve Dealers", their site should appear in the results. Currently I am not aware of how I can go about this, so my question is what should I do in order for better page ranking. I am using meaningful page titles and have enough text in every page.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Firstly Pagerank is irrelevant these days, so don't worry about that.
You should ensure that you use Google's Webmaster Tools to check that Google knows about your site etc. This will tell you what things it is coming up for on Google.
Make sure that the page has the text on it you want to rank for - as you mention, titles, headers etc will help but don't over do it.
The main thing to do is to get links to your site – write interesting blog posts, contact customers etc so they link to you.
It really depends on who your competition is for those terms - if there are already 10 huge companies ranking for those terms then you are stuck.
The other way to do this is to buy Adwords – this will likely cost upwards of $5-10 a day to get any meaningful traffic though.

Just thinking about my page titles and wondering which one to have
keyword | keyword | site name
or
keyword | keyword | sitename.com
Would the sitename.com work better if it was an online only company?
OK great thanks guys, I think to keep it consistent I am going to use 'site name' as renaming everything to .com wont work.
IMO it's all how you want to be perceived. Amazon includes the .com in their title tags, but Ebay, Netflix and Home Depot do not. Personally, I just use the company name without the .com at the end of the title tag but I don't believe there is any negative repercussions for including it.
Well, When you put in Sitename.com, you already have your site name ( I am guessing).
Also, try to be consistent and stick to either one. The one you chose should be the one users are most familiar with.
In any case, you want users to come to your website, so give more importance to sitename.com . Once they are on your site, then you can display the name of your business.
Personally would not bother with the .com, especially if you have a unique name. Brand yourself with the name and save having to add .com to everything.
Think of all the established web businesses and recent web upstarts. Are they known as example.com or things like Quora, Pinterest, Google or Bing.

A site I just started to manage is not banned in Google because I can find the domain in the index, but it gets extremely poor ranking -- almost nowhere to be found.
Does anyone know of a good method for determining how and/or why a site gets a poor ranking in Google. The site I have has been around for a while and is very rich with content relative to "youth sports". Yet you can hardly find it in the Google.
Sorry for asking this question here, but if you have ever posted anything to the Google Help and User forums you;ll find you get no responses or assistance. SO is the only place I can ever get exceptional and timely help.
There is no way to tell for sure as no one knows exactly how pages are ranked. However, we do have a pretty good idea of what many of the ranking factors are so we can be sure do them to help our chances of ranking well. This question at Pro Webmasters is a good start. So is this answer. Once you're sure you got the basics down you need to promote your website in the hopes of getting quality links to your pages. But if you don't have quality content (and what you call quality content may not be what Google and others call quantity content) you're not going to stand much of a chance of ranking well.
Did you use any dirty tricks like white text on white background to contain some false keywords etc.? Google continually discovers these tricks and penalizes them. Cheating doesn't pay off. I don't tell this is your case, but I just want to warn against it, in general.

First and foremost, I would like to say I am very, /very/ new to programming and the like. If I decide to build this, this would probably be my first "large" project i've ever done myself.
What I am looking to build is a very simple Chat/IM client to use for the users in our office network. It would just call us their Windows logon name and use that to IM and the like. I'm talking a very simple client, with a list of names of people who are logged into the network, and option to IM them and an option to do a multiple user chat. It doesn't have to be visually stunning.
How difficult would this honestly be? Is it possible for me, someone who has very little knowledge when it comes to programming to teach myself how to build it?
If not, can you explain why this would be very difficult and what already built clients would work well for what I am using?
This is a big application. Your first parts will suck and refactoring it later will suck even more. I suggest building something small in the first place and then step from one bigger project to another.
XMPP/Jabber is IMHO the best solution for office IM. Most clients like Pidgin, Adium etc can connect to it. Every bigger company I worked for in the last years used it. Take a look at Openfire - A free open source XMPP server that you can directly connect on and which is easy to set up: http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/

I am planning to write and distribute a pac-man like game. So I would like to know if It is still protected by copyright.
Can I use the word pacman in the title? What are the limits that I will have?
PS. I can conclude from the first answers that I can't use the name and may be a very similar art work. If I keep that in mind, will I have any trouble. And I don't want to do something unethical, is it unethical to write a pac-man like game? I see tons of them on the internet.
It's a matter of trademarks, not copyright. Trademarks don't run out, though they must be continually used. I'm pretty sure Pacman would be considered to be in use, as it's a very well-known brand.
So you'll have to use a different name.
A visit to Namco will show you they are still actively promoting it by porting it to new platforms, as well as continuing to develop it as a franchise.
So the answer is: No. No. Also, no.
I think no??? since this is game we are seeing since childhood so , you cannot use its name. And its the most popular game in world, just like mario, tetris etc. So better dont use names that exists from decades instead use some other similiar type names, if you want.
