••••••>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.
