Meanings Of Domain Names

Domain names are as important to websites as attractive covers are to books. There are very slim chances of the visitor entering a website if the domain name is not relevant to the website in some way. That does not mean you need to be totally innovative.

Do you know the reason for this? It must have optimized keywords along with creativity. Attractiveness and optimization are the two important ingredients for a successful domain name. This article will reveal the secrets how to achieve that goal easily.

Start by researching for a search engine optimized keyword that can be a part of your domain name. A tool known as a keyword analyzer can help you in this. You will able to find such tools by searching on popular Internet engines.

Use a sample keyword into this tool that describes your site. You will get many options from the analyzer for the keyword you have used. Choose those keywords from this list that describe more about what your website is about. A rule of search engine optimization is to use low competition keywords because they increase your chances of getting found.

With this done, you can now begin hunting for your perfect domain name. The domain name service itself will probably tell you whether you can get a specific domain name or not. The domain name service will also suggest alternatives if the one you put in is not available. Put in your keyword first - this way you can better use this tool. The keyword may not be available to use as the domain name. com ending are good to use. If this is not available, be more ingenious.

Try using some words, phrases or numbers to still keep your keyword within the domain name. Most people use 'a', 'an' and 'the' for such filtering purposes in their domain names. Hence, your domain name will get indexed and will also sound interesting. Any number like 80 or anything else will do.

The following are some tricks to perform if you get everything besides .com. With a very popular keyword, it does not matter if your extension is .com or something else. You may think of extensions such as .org, .biz and .net. If you don't see any difference that an international or local website will do for you, you can also select for a nation or state specific extension. You can well understand that it is much wiser to be on the first page in the Indian Google than to be on the 86th page in the American Google!

You don't need to know rocket science in order to design a domain name that's suited for the search engine purposes as well as for the users. The rest is governed by the analyzer tool. When you find nothing helps you in getting the domain name of your choice, changing the extension always works.
