SEO 101 - The Importance Of The Right Domain Name
Domain names are as important to websites as attractive covers are to books. If shown an unattractive domain name, the guest will not feel like visiting the website at all. Finding a suitable domain name that suits your purpose is child’s play if you know how to do it. Do you know the reason for this? A good domain must contain good keywords that can be picked up by the search engines. In other words, your domain name must be appealing as well as crafted for the search engines. This article tells you how you can achieve both these things.
Your first objective is to find a search engine optimized keyword that you can use in your domain name. A keyword analyzer is the tool that can help you do this. You will get these if you do a search on the search engines.
When you are on it, put in a sample keyword that you think best tells what your site is about. The analyzer will now give you many different alternatives for the keyword you inserted. From these options, select those that describe your website better. You’re 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. Your domain name service will probably show you whether your chosen domain name is obtainable. In case the domain name you put in is not available for use, you will be given some other alternatives.
Put in your keyword first; this will help you make better use of this tool. If at all the keyword is not available for use as the domain name, you will be given other suggestions. Think favorably about the domain names that have the keyword and end with .com. If this is not available, be more ingenious.
Craft a domain name that contains your keyword in some way by using some filler words or numbers. Three interesting fillers you can use are ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’. These words are not considered by the search engines. Any number like 80 or anything else will do.
Below we describe what you must do if you get all else but not the .com suffix. If your keyword is extremely popular, another extension can be considered. You may think of extensions such as .org, .biz and .net. You may use an extension that is specific for the nation or the state if it doesn’t make any difference to you whether your website is internationally or locally operated. For example, it is better to be number 1 in the Austrian Google than number 400 or something in American Google!
It is simple enough to find a domain name that works on both the human as well as the search engine level. The rest depends on the keyword analyzer tool. When you find nothing helps you in getting the domain name of your choice, changing the extension always works.
