Domain names (tld). choosing the right domain name

January 14th, 2012 Seo blog in Seattle 1 comment

Domain names are to websites as book covers are to novels. If they are not interesting enough, or don’t properly convey what a website is about, visitor will have no desire to enter them in their browsers. Yet, excessive creativity doesn’t make for a good name either. Why is this so? It’s because if a name is creative but not keyword-rich, search engine bots won’t be able to index it in search engine listings. So, ultimately, your name must be both catchy yet search engine optimized. This article will explain how you can achieve both objectives.

First and foremost you will need to find a popular search engine keyword that can be incorporated into your name. A keyword analyzer can help you in this task. These can be found pretty easily with a basic search engine query. When you find one, enter in a keyword that best summarizes the purpose of your website. The keyword analyzer will return different versions of this keyword. If the more specific instances can also fit within the nature of your website, choose one. This is because when it comes to Search engine optimization, more specific keywords are better since they are less likely to be used by other webmasters.

Now you can start selecting your actual name. Most name companies will allow you to see whether or not your name is available. If it is not available, it will return a list of recommended Domain names. Take advantage of this tool by first entering your selected keyword. If your keyword as a name is not available, consider the suggestions the name company gives. If the main keyword is still included in these suggestions and it ends with .com, consider it. Otherwise, you will have to be more creative.

For example, you can use ‘filler’ words, numbers or phrases within your name to still include your selected keyword.
Fillers could be ‘a,’ ‘an’ or ‘the.’ Search engines tend to not look at these words, so you still have a good shot at getting indexed while having a name that is memorable and catchy. You can also consider fillers at the end of a phrase, such as ’101′.

What if you do these things and you still can’t get .com? Well, there are some situations where it is better to stick with a lesser-used extension because the keyword is just that popular. Extensions that still get noticed include .net, .biz and .org. Additionally, you can also consider using country or state-based extensions if you don’t mind international or local-based marketing. It’s better to be number 1 in France’s version of Google than to be number 200 or worse in America’s version of Google.

In conclusion, choosing a name that will get the right buzz from both humans and search engines doesn’t have to be hard. The keyword analyzer will help you with 90% of your name, while your wit with fillers can help you the other 10%. And, if after an immense amount of pondering, you still can’t get the .com, you can opt for other extensions.

Domain names (tld). hyphenated domain names

January 12th, 2012 Seo blog in Seattle Comments off

You think of a perfect name. It contains a keyword that is found in search engines, has no trademark issues and is memorable for website visitors. You try to register your name with a name company. It appears to be taken. So, you put a hyphen in it. That version of your name is not taken, but should you go on and invest in it? This article will explore what webmasters need to consider if they are deciding to use hyphenated Domain names.

First, they need to think about their website visitors. Most people are not accustomed to using hyphenated Domain names. Even if they like a website, it may be simply a matter of forgetting to include the hyphen. If this happens then the unhyphenated version of the name will be what receives traffic, which is definitely not what a webmaster wants. Of course, if a name is not hyphenated in the first place, then such an issue would never arise.

However, a hyphenated name that is keyword-rich has a higher chance of getting a good ranking from a search engine than a non-hyphenated that is not SEO optimized. A higher search engine ranking might outweigh the initial disadvantage of how inconvenient a hyphenated name is. This is because if a website has a high search engine ranking, people won’t need to type in the name in order to access it. They can simply click on the listing given in search engine results. And if they like the site, they will bookmark it, an action that is preferable, since it shows they are really interested in what the site has to offer.

Webmasters should also consider whether or not their name is more understandable if they use a hyphen. Consider the unusual name molestationnursery.com. This is actually in reference to a website that talks about mole
