Tips On Choosing An SEO Effective Domain Name
[Bruce gives a good basic introduction to the choice of domain names for SEO/monetization purposes. Gren. Bingham]
Domain names are as important to websites as attractive covers are to books. An interesting domain name never fails to attract web surfers to click through and check out.
If you think that putting all your innovativeness into the domain name will make it better, you are mistaken. Why does this happen? The answer lies in the keyword. If your domain name is innovative but not search engine optimized with keywords, the search engines will not be able to index it. In other words, your domain name must be appealing as well as crafted for the search engines. Read this article to understand how both these can be achieved.
Start by researching for a search engine optimized keyword that can be a part of your domain name. A keyword analyzer is the tool that can help you do this. You will able to find such tools by searching on popular Internet engines. Think of a sample keyword that tells about what your site is and enter it into the tool. The analyzer tool will display several options for this sample keyword. Choose those keywords from this list that describe more about what your website is about.
Your site is better search engine optimized if you use a long tail keyword because there will be fewer webmasters who will choose them. Now, you can begin thinking about your real domain name. The domain name service itself will probably tell you whether you can get a specific domain name or not. If not obtainable, you will at least get some recommendations.
The best way to use this tool is to enter the keyword you have selected. You will get other recommendations if this particular keyword is not available to use as the domain name. Think favorably about the domain names that have the keyword and end with .com. If not, use your creativity. Just putting in some filler words or numbers will allow you to retain your keyword. Most people use ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’ for such filtering purposes in their domain names. Search engines will overlook such words. Therefore, your domain name gets optimized and also remains better in the visitors’ memories. Use numbers at the end of the phrase. Any number like 80 or anything else will do.
If you get everything but the .com, this is what you must do.You may opt for an extension other than .com, especially in the cause of very popular keywords. Other workable solutions are .biz, .net and .org. One more tactic is to use country or state specific extensions. This works if international or local marketing makes no difference to you. You can well understand that it is much wiser to be on the first page in the Indian Google than to be on the 86th page in the American Google!
It is not complicated to have a domain name that serves well for your visitors as well as for the search engines.SummaryOnly 10% of the success of your domain name depends on your intelligence. The rest depends on the keyword analyzer tool. The last straw, when nothing else works, is to resort to the extensions.
