Which is better practice - the state California? or CA?

I'm sure there are a few variables in this question?

If you are working at SEO choosing a domain name is really important in order to get backlinks and generate traffic.

The state California would be preferable and descriptive than CA.

Yeah, I would assume California would be better since it is more descriptive, but if I am searching google for something 9 times out of 10 I am going to type in "product/service in PA" rather than "product/service in Pennsylvania"

When I was trying to rank for more local terms I would use both the abbreviation and the full name of the State throughout the content to try to rank both ways.

use google keyword tool to find out!

California is half the search volume but....CA could stand for a ton of different stuff!

I think you need to be even more localized then that. I live in CA and would never, ever, ever search for anything by typing the state of California.

Use California or CA, or better yet use an individual city. Note LA is still too large, but Santa Monica would be perfect.
