Choosing Domain Names
 |
One way to improve your SEO rankings is to choose a domain name that incorporates your main keywords.
This can be easier said than done, as at first glance you will probably find that the domains for your “best” keywords have been taken long ago. So you need to act a little smarter. And here are some of the tactics you might think about using.
- Should you try using .com , .net , .biz, .org, .info, and other suffixes for SEO purposes?
- What is the effect of using hyphens between your keywords?
- If you have a keyword with a broad match domain name will that be as valuable as an exact match keyword domain?
- You may decide to add a word to the beginning or end of your domain/phrase – does this help, and if so which is better?
- Is it a good idea to register a domain name in the top three TLD’s for the sole purpose of keeping your competitors from getting hold of it?
These are the kind of questions that SEO gurus seem to skirt over, and assume you know the answers.
Rather than attempt to answer these questions for you myself, I’d like to direct you to a very informative blog post that comes from the creators of Market Samurai. To remind you, Market Samurai is the software I recommend for keyword research, and you can download a free trial by clicking the link at the side. You can read more about it in my Review of Market Samurai. On the site there are some amazing training visits that will tell you the basics and beyond. And it’s all free of charge. After that you will be able to subscribe to their very blog post and keep up-to-date with new training and new releases as they become available.
Even if you don’t download the software – you’d be crazy to miss out on the free training!
