- To stand out from others in other fields
- Search engine friendly or keyword friendly site
- Disadvantages of including your personal name to your blog or site name
- The best domain extension to use for a site
A domain name is expected to go with a phrase or a single word that is related to the information the site plans to give to the public because this helps your visitor to know without visiting the site what your site is all about thereby giving him the confidence to click on it. Example “www.seotips.com” a visitor will never wait for a spirit to tell him that this is a search engine optimization help site. So, try and get a phrase that says it all.
MEMORIZABLE NAMES -: Use names that are easy to memorize don’t use names that are hard to remember for example names like “www.webgists.com” can never be forgotten even if the person lost his memory
LONG TERM AND WIDER USE: Always bear in mind the time interval your domain is meant to spend online or what the site is going to look like in the next eight months. Let’s say a blogger likes corvette cars, and he decides to start a blog on that topic, but after a while of so many research he got the domain corvettecentral.com. It is a good domain because it has the main keywords in it and so on but if the blog grows after one year , it will reach a peak and in order to make the blog grow more he has to cover more other sports car. Then you see he has being trapped by his by his domain name and the only option is to continue with the limited audience of that car only which is almost the end of the game
KEYWORD MATCH URL -: Use keyword rich "exact match” naming convention subject or keywords first then plural variation e.g. www.seotips.com where seotips is the keyword phrase you attempt to rank well for. Check this out, let’s say there is a site on page rank 4 with the url www.franklinblog.com/seotips.html and yours goes with www.seotips.com automatically if all things went well the search engine must rank you above the page rank 4 compared to that has 'seotips" just in the "url" So, you now believe with me that domain name have power in seo helps
Note: You can put prefix or suffixes of your name or nick attached to the site rather than giving it your whole name which won’t help at all or if you want people to know you are the owner of the site then create a page for about the author page for people to check you out. Because people will not for any reason search for your name except for tangible reason
DOMAIN NAME EXTENSION-: Domain extension is another problem if you have being getting the web gist you will know that Google have for some time removed some sites from their index especially some specific extensions like ".info" which made domain sellers to reduce the price just to get it off. Again there was a time adsense stopped displaying in every .co.cc sites. It has being confirmed that Google adsense accept domain with .com easier than other domain extensions. Now the question is which one am I going to trust just?
As you know some extensions are made for specific area and purposes like
.eu for Europe,
.In for Indian,
. gov for government official sites,
.edu for school websites,
.ir for Iran or Iraq based sites,
.us for United States,
.uk for United Kingdom,
.ng for Nigeria,
.tv for television stations,
.org for organization,
.info for information,
.com for company,
.xxx for sex sites,
.mobi made especially for mobile
All these has its own important and it tells us where the server might be located
Note: That the locations of the server you are using might help in your traffic, So don’t host a site you are expecting US based citizen in Australia
So, let’s finalize for any website that is based on business or money making should go for .com which means company and it is the extension recognized by Google for money making site so what is the purpose of your site
