    If you currently use an older more established domain name, it may not be in your best interests to switch over to a new one for SEO/SEM purposes.

    Thanks Johny, that's a great point! Typo domains are also great for cash parking, and I hope to get into that later in the series. I am happy to hear that you're enjoying the blog.

    The good news is that there is nothing really wrong with purchasing a domain name that ends in .net, .org, .us, or even the newer .biz. Your site’s ability to rank highly on search engines is the result of a number of factors, so don’t worry about settling in one category.

    Noni thanks for visiting! You are absolutely right, the benefits of a well constructed keyword can really men the difference between SEO success and failure.

    It is actually the perfect time. In order to facilitate both initial Search Engine Rankings and long term internet marketing objectives, both the Domain name and website content should ideally revolve around the appropriate keywords for your industry whenever possible.

    .com has higher chance of getting its targeted traffic because a lot of people are most familiarized with it unlike edu, org, gov..

    According to me, firstly choosing a domain name is the major task. For seo, a domain name plays a major role. The points under "What should your domain name do? " are very important in selecting a domain name. ".com" is the best one according to me, as well as according to the author.

    Hello,
    Its not wrong buying domain name such like these, but these are less valuable than ".com"
    Suppose i get a domain name as "xyz.net" and another "xyz.com",
    the domain name "xyz.com" will be more popular, as Google lays more emphasis on ".com"
  • singh5 · 5 months ago
    very well said things about marketing , branding and using the domain name too, but remembering the domain name can be a pain , it is really not possible some times.

    the core tact should be not to hide anything from the clients ,, this could tarnish the image of the organisation, doing so may also call for bad word of mouth.

    Although it may seem premature to pick SEO keywords and key phrases at such an early stage, (even before the content is written), it is actually the perfect time. In order to facilitate both initial Search Engine Rankings and long term internet marketing objectives, both the Domain name and website content should ideally revolve around the appropriate keywords for your industry whenever possible.

    The Internet is such a powerful tool, and blogs like these are really useful for people like me who wouldn't know the difference between a domain name and an email address. :D At least now I know where to start if I ever decide to take on the net windmill. Thanks!

    This is really great news for webhosting outfits everywhere. More people who know the basics, more people who will get into the wonders of the Internet. It's not as scary or "techie" as you think, people!

    SEOs and keywords are the baits that attracts the fish to you domain. It's fine that you have to pay to get a domain name, but there are "re-sellers" of domain names that want to make a quick buck. That really bites.
  • web hosting · 4 months ago
    That is a very useful post, Infact I believe that you are right in saying that the domain name should not be too long, That is the mistake people generally make.
