Choosing a domain name for your website is a very important part of the overall process. People are going to have to be able to remember it easily; otherwise they might never visit again. It might seem like a minor issue for most people, but getting the right domain name is crucial for any business. It might seem best to simply choose the name of your company. However, you might find that your desired domain name is already taken. You have to put all of your creativity to work in order to come up with a domain name that will be easy to remember and easy to find.
In the world of SEO (search engine optimization) there is a lot of debate about how important keywords are. They are important, but they are not going to guarantee you traffic to your site. The best way to go about getting a lot of people to visit your web page is to have unique and quality content with a good deal of back links.
These are some common questions that people ask about SEO in relation to domain names.
How important is it to have the right keywords in a domain name?
Keywords are important when you are choosing your domain name. If you choose the right keywords, and they are strong, it will help you to generate traffic to your website. However, do not expect to receive thousands of visitors per day just because you have selected some choice keywords for your domain name. The quest for traffic is a very difficult one, and you will have to work hard to make your site one of the best if you want lots of people to come to it. Do not choose a domain based purely upon keywords, because there is so much more to getting visitors.
Does adding more keywords generate more traffic?
No, adding more keywords will not guarantee you more traffic. You might get a little bit more traffic, but you might also lose some visitors. If your domain name is stuffed with every keyword you could think of, people might think that your site is full of spam and avoid it. Using the right keywords in your page titles and content is more important than using them in the domain name. However, as I mentioned earlier, if your site does not offer good, original content with a lot of back links, you are unlikely to get much traffic. You should choose a domain name that reflects the content of your site, and is easy to remember, rather than using one that is full of keywords.
Should I go for a .com or another extension?
Most people think of websites as having a .com extension. If someone remembers the brand of your product, or your company name, they are likely to try a .com extension when typing it in. That is why you should try to get a .com if you can. However, if the name that you want is not available as a .com you should try an alternative like .net or .org. There are many successful sites which do not have a .com extension in the domain name.
