Long Domain Names vs Shorter Domain Names

“Many people register longer domain names in order to incorporate multiple keywords into the name. Including your best keywords in the domain name can boost your rankings on some search engines, but others frown on long domain names and see it as spamming. For example: Domain-registrations-uk-website-registering-Scotland.com may seem like a great name to get keywords into your domain name, but registering a domain name of this sort would certainly be seen as spam by several of the top engines and should be avoided at all costs.”
