Domain Names

Money on the Internet

You may be asking yourself how am I meant to make money on the internet with any of these ideas? But we will concentrate on actual money making ideas in future posts, firstly though I want you to understand the importance of setting your site up from the beginning and how all the little details will effect it later on! For now lets talk about the importance of domain names.

In other posts we have mentioned some ways that you can optimize your site, now we are going to break some of those down into more detail.

Firstly before you even think about setting up a site, you need to have the right domain name for you. Most people think of a business name or their own name for their URL, and some other people think that it doesnt matter what the address is, it's what's on the page that gets you to the top of the search engines.

If this is true, then why do people make huge amounts of money selling certain domains, and why are people willing to pay these prices for them? There must be some importance in the right URL. What's the importance of a name?

Open up your google browser and search for any type of product, the majority of the top ranking sites will have the keywords in their URL, even if the site that is ranking well below them has more content and is a better site. So try and have your domain name relevant to what your keyword is on your site. This will improve your site ranking.

Keep your name as short, you want people to remember it.

Get to the point in your name, dont have dashes, underscores, or other symbols that has no relevance to your keywords.

Try to have a dot com name if possible, these rank better, and are easier to remember as well.

Domain names are important, and having one with your keyword in it, will get you ranking higher than others.
