>SEO Tip of the Day: Naming Your Website Domain
Naming
Your Website Domain
Website
Domain names are just as important as file names when it comes to tweaking for
SEO. Having the right domain name does not only make the search engine spider’s
job easier as it also allows easier access for your web site viewers. The
domain name is your identity seen in every browser’s address box and this is
the reason why Google, Yahoo and other search engines use the quality of domain
names for top search engine placement.
1) Make
sure your website domain name is clear and concise, it really does boost SEO
Rankings.
2) If
your idea for a domain name is unavailable, you can modify the name slightly by
adding hyphens. You can also use other top level domains such as.org, .net,
.us. etc.
2) For
domain names with multiple words, adding dash (-) potentially may make it more
effective in terms of SEO Rankings.
I.e., Get-Me-On-Top instead of GetMeOnTop.com. Please keep in mind though, that
when ever possible, use the shortest possible domain name.
4) Keep
your domain name short. Shorter website names are easily remembered giving you
a better chance for direct visits/re-visits.
5) If
you do not have your own domain name, or if you are hosted with free services,
you can use tinyurl.com to cut down long domains and introduce keywords in your
domain name. We feel the need to mention that with the extremely completive
hosting market, nobody should be using free services for hosting your website.
Additionally, it is very difficult to rank in the top of the search engines
using a free service.

URL change
- Hi The AnonymousMan,
When one has a Domain Name ie URL, I understand, it is not possible to change it. One has to take out a complete new Domain. Is that correct?
However, if you can change it, how can you do it?
Kindest Regards,

Re: what position to request?
- Hi Michael,
Great suggestion from David, or you could try something around a design consultancy,
How about Website Design Consultant, Design and Development Manager, Website Support and Development Manager or maybe Internet Business Development Consultant.
Ultimately whatever you are comfortable with and good luck for the future,
Mal.
Re: How Much Do You Need To Start?
- In this age of Internet you might start with just $50 or nothing at all. To start an affiliate website with a squeeze page to collect emails you only need to start with this
Domain name $9
Hosting $24
PPC to test your niche $17
This is $50. Though you will need to design and upload your site yourself.
Hyphen versus Full Stop
- Hi There,
It is astounding, as to how much variety can be used to create
Domain Addresses.
What about using a full stop or more commonly used as 'stop'? (.) It is easy to communicate.
Interested to hear your views.
