Choosing a Good Domain Name for a New Website
Greetings,
Many of our SuperM.com clients often ask us to help select good domain name when setting up a brand new website. Today, we are providing some useful tips on choosing a good domain name for a new website as domain name not only affects the search engine rankings (SERPs) for your website, but also its important to know as how it will impact the website users and your customers in a long-run.
1) Domain name must have a global top-level domain (gTLD) like a .com or .net. .COM is the most popular and default TLD any customer may type in their browser or in search engine to find your website. If you don’t own a .com, you are going to loose some valuable website traffic.
2) Domain name must be easy to spell. A domain must be phonetic. It should not contain words which are hard to remember. Avoid words that people commonly have trouble to spell. Example: Use word “connect” instead of “konnect” or use “flowers” instead of “flowerz”. This will also help avoid typos.
3) Domain name may contain your location, or business category. Example: If you are running a SEO firm in New York, your domain name may start with “www.SEOnewyork.com” or “www.SEOfirmnewyork.com” or “www.BestSEOnewyork.com”. This will help you in search engine rankings for the keyword “SEO NEW YORK”.
4) Domain name may not contain your business-type if you are a global brand. Like we have www.SuperM.com for our Super M business. Like Ford.com for Ford cars.
5) Domain name should not contain hyphen. Avoid hyphen to separate words. Domains should be simple and easy to remember. Example: www.newyorkfreshflowers.com ” is better than “www.new-york-fresh-flowers.com”
6) Domain name should be short and simple. Do not use long-tail keywords in domain name. It’s hard to remember your website address as people may forget one or two characters or words. Be specific. Do not use initials in domains unless you are an established brand.
Finally, buy a domain name which is highly memorable, easy and reflects your business. A good domain name will bring you success and profit for years ahead.
