Choosing the Best Web
Domain Names
Your Website Address
What's
in the perfect web domain names?
Why everything!
Internet domain names represent the website address on the internet.
It's your calling card to visitors.
- The perfect website address will deliver a great
first
impression.
- It will help visitors remember your site and come
back to visit.
- Your web address is how you will immediately
establish your presence on
the internet
so make it a good one.
The key factors to consider in choosing the perfect
web domain name. . .
- Explains your site theme
- Accurately reflects your business
- Short and simple is best
- Easy to remember
- Uses profitable keywords related to your site
theme
Let's use my friend Sal as an example:
Sal runs a
consulting business
"Sal's Design" out of the basement of his house. I'm sure your first
questions might be, "Who the heck is Sal, Why do I even care, and What
type of design does he do?"
Is it architectural designs, website
design, fashion design, tattoo designs. . .
Well, actually Sal does
interior redesign specifically for real estate companies who want to
re-stage homes in order to generate faster sales.
Sal is considering
building a website to promote his consulting design business. He wants
to name his website "www.Sals-Designs" to match his business cards.
No way!
That's not a good idea at all is it?
Why?
Because it doesn't give
enough information about what his website will be about nor does it use
a profitable keyword phase.
Fire up your Search It! tool and you'll see
what I mean. (Plug in your keyword(s) and be sure to
select keyword worth.) You can also use this free
webmaster tool to search for the perfect domain name for your site!
A better option for Sal would be to choose a
website address that utilized the keyword phase "interior redesign".
Depending on the availability of domain names, Sal's web address
could be interior redesign advice, interior redesign plans, interior
redesign tips, and so on.
I personally would vote for online
interior
design for Sal's domain name. It is a nice keyword phrase
and has the
added bonus of an estimated keyword value of over $11 while interior
redesign is valued just over $2.
If you need help deciding give this handy dandy Choose
It! webmaster tool a whirl (yes, it's free too) or simply
do an internet search
using the term "internet domain name generator" to help you determine
the
best www.address for your site theme.
A word of warning!
Always carefully analyze
your potential website
address from all angles.
These are some prime examples of how web
domain names could easily be misinterpreted:
* Choose Spain or www.ChoosesPain
* Winters Express or www.WinterSexPress
* Childrens Wear or www.ChildrenSwear
And
my all time personal favorite. . .
A
computer company's slogan of "Get your IP computer software anywhere"
translates into a domain name of www.ipanywhere.com
