Are you new to internet marketing? If so, you probably know you need to get a domain name. Picking a domain name is an important part of search engine optimization! Many times, people don’t find out till after they buy a domain. Here is some help before you make this mistake – 5 SEO tips for picking a domain name:
- Research for good keywords in your field.
- Use a string query of good keywords in your domain name.
- If your desired domain name is not available, try it with dashes.
- Purchase the domain for a longer period of time so search engines know you are serious about your website business.
- .com, .org, .net, .us, .info all have the same value to Google. Extensions like .mx (Mexico), .uk (United Kingdom), or .ca (Canada) are geared towards those specific countries.
One other SEO tip for picking a domain name is understanding how your website gets marketed in search engines. Here is SEO Does Matter’s example of internet marketing:
Your website is a billboard on the world’s search engine highway. Do you want the possibility of some one seeing your one billboard or passing by several of your billboards? Which is better for your marketing needs?
This is why we recommend having more then one website. Normally, the best you can do with one site is to be on the first page of Google two times. With multiple websites, you improve your exposure in Google results.

What company is the best Domain Registrar? I’ve heard that Godaddy and Moniker are the best.
There are a lot of good domain and hosting companies. Depends what you are looking for. Best price? Great customer service? Great package deal? We prefer Bluehost and Name.com because of their marketing strategies. Bluehost has an 800 number, good prices and great customer service!
domain names should be as short as possible and easy to remember, i alway use Godaddy when signing up new domain names,,-
It is nice if a domain is short and easy to remember but it isn’t the most important factor for search engines. You need to use good keywords people are searching for. When people are reading on the internet they click on links that take them to a website. Most people don’t remember a domain name, they bookmark the site. If you give out business cards with your domain name, people can copy it into their address bar.
As for GoDaddy, they do have good prices. We do not recommend them due to their trashy style of marketing.
