Does A Good Domain Name Really Mean Better SEO?

My commercial site choice was my first and last name and a very unique one at that. Using your name is okay and expected if you’re famous. There is, however, little or no value as far as keywords in my web name to attract visitors, so is that a mistake for search engine optimization? Of course. The fact that I have collected more than 100 screenshots of generic phrases relative to my business that made Google page one is evidence the content, not the domain, is key.

Here’s some advice to help you when choosing a new dot COM small business domain.

First get a list of about 10 domain names that you would like to have. Next, make a list of market related single word terms about what you do and the customer base you service. If your market is localized, consider geographical terms that relate to where you sell or provide services. Spend 30 minutes brainstorming to come up with the initial names and additional lists of single word terms. You may want another list of significant initials.

Next, search for “WhoIs” in Google to find free online services that keep a database of available web names and follow the link in the search results. Each database has a search box which allows you to input the domain name and extension. Begin with your first choice and work down the list and keep track of available names for review later. It may not be easy, so try combinations of the key terms as you continue to search, and keep in mind you want a domain name that is easy to spell and remember. By the time you’re done you should have about six or more available names, so take your time and select the best one, and then register the name immediately.

Advise: The domain name may not be significant for SEO, but the length of your registration can be. My advice is registering domains for 2 years minimum, and 5 to 10 years if that’s in your budget. Search engines consider that the length of your registration reflects your commitment to be online long term, so at today’s prices 5 years is practical and should cost less than fifty dollars.

There’s nothing wrong with getting the dot COM domain name you want, and then registering the other major extensions that are available for the same name. If you are highly successful in your online venture, having the other extensions registered in your name prevents others from attempting to take advantage of your reputation by association. In conclusion, the concept that all the good domain names are taken is a myth. You may not get exactly what you want, but practical options are available with a little patience.

DOMAIN NAME BUYING can provide you with a high ROI

The fact of the matter is that many people are scared to invest in domain name buying.  They feel as if their total investment is this going to go down the toilet. It is advisable to tread lightly, but at least start treading. There have been cases of people receiving a return on investment of a 50,000% strictly by focusing on domain name buying. You could be one of those lucky people.

I still believe that you should invest in domains that end with the extension .com. Try to purchase domain names that are relatively generic and that immediately tell someone that a particular service or product will be highlighted within the website.  It is widely known that such domains tend to place higher in the search engines which in turn will provide you with a higher income.

If you’re strictly purchasing in domain names to make a quick buck, do not count out domains that are in different languages.  For instance, around 7% of the population speak Spanish so registering names that contain popular Spanish words is a great strategy.

Don’t try to go overboard by including a huge string of keywords just because you know that people are searching for them quite often.  Try to stick to at the most 3 keywords strung together.  For instance, buyticketsnow.com is more appealing than getyourmovieticketsnowbeforealltheseatsaresoldout.com. Personally, I have noticed that if you have a domain name  that is more than around 20 characters long, it is almost impossible to leave comments on dofollow blogs because there are plug-ins that validate comments that are weeding out long domain names.

Are you currently buying domain names strictly for reselling them before you launch an official website?

Flipping Websites Using A Reseller Account

You may be able  to buy  a new flip phone just by flipping a few smaller websites

There are many ways to increase the value of a site that you have so that you can flip it for a profit. Make sure that you have at least 10 articles that each focus on a different keyword or phrase.  Also, make the site more appealing by offering free hosting for it.

The best and easiest way to offer free hosting is through using a reseller account. One that I recommend is hostgator. You can offer the hosting for a year. Keep the space adequate and the bandwidth at a reasonable level. If the site is small you can safely offer less space. This added feature will make your site more attractive and you will be able to command a higher price for it.

Make sure that you provide great customer service during the transfer. Offer to make the transfer for free, it will take only an hour of your time to do so. Also, check back with the buyer later on and ask about how the site is progressing. If you treat your buyers with respect, they may turn into repeat customers.
