So write webmaster tips about optimizing your site. Others write about how to use keywords effectively or other secrets that will help to increase their traffic. However, very few are written about choosing a good domain name. The days of finding a domain name that describes the word perfectly the theme of your site and the target are over – unless you are willing to shell out the big bucks to buy one of current domain name holder through an auction or other online sales program. If you are looking to purchase a simple domain name – on a budget, or a new webmaster to a new project, here are some tips to help you get the most out of "what is" in the current domain name market.
Council # 1 – it short and sweet
We talked about that domain names one word is likely out of the question for most webmasters. That said, even should keep the length to a minimum. Make sure it is short and recognizable. Must be something you can easily make and is easy to pronounce. Try to find something that will stay in the memory of your site visitors. Not even have to be a word in the dictionary, for example, Google.com, MSN.com, MySpace.com and YouTube.com. Experts say you should try to keep your domain name under 10 characters where possible.
Tip # 2 – What is relative
Your domain name must have something to do with your website, the content that you use on him and the group of targeted traffic you are trying to attract. Sure, you can make for a domain name with some really bad time optimization of intensive work later, but why not start with something that will help you sell place from the first moment visitors enter its name or click to enter your site? If your site is about "tits" try to get the word "tits" somewhere in the name. If the site has "muscle cuts", try to get something that suggests that niche content in the name of your site. Yet There are some big names in there and with creativity, a thesaurus and common sense can find a solid domain name will be relative to focus of your site and help attract targeted traffic.
Tip # 3 – Avoid trademarked names
Some time ago Webmaster thought it was a good idea to use the brand names. They came with Disney.com, CocaCola.com. Other bad ideas were: the White House (yes, one in Washington DC) or Whitehouse.com and Whitehouse.org. Or tried SteveJobs.com and many of the Barbie doll from Mattel related to names, for example, BarbiesBeachWear.com, and recent incumbent BarbiesClothing.com manufacturer ChinaBarbie.com adult site. Of course, we now know that these were a bad idea. You could at least be accused of cybersquatting. At worst, you could get served by lawyers and spend a lot of money to defend the case of losing in court. It's the wrong kind of attention. You definitely want to stay away from a name brand or trademark.
Tip # 4 – Branding VS. Keywords
There is much debate on the subject of the mark against the purchase of words key domain names. The keywords are great for many things, for example, SEO, painting a picture of site theme or topic in the eye of the consumer, etc., but some experts argue that the brand name is better. Think back to Google and other sites with a unique name, such as eBay, Yahoo! and YouTube. These companies decided to go with their own names original domain and brand! They have been surprisingly successful, because of this strategy.
The keyword-based domains are chosen primarily to exploit the search engine traffic, giving your site a competitive advantage, but not necessarily the best "branding" opportunity. How you decide to go depends on your project, time, money and energy that could be devoted to the sole mark of his name and what they expect out of it.
There are a lot a single word domain name that bombed – the above examples highlight only the successes of the brand. A new name is a creative challenge. It must be brief, taught relevant to the public. The originality and the ability to promote that will be crucial.
