True – if you can include your primary keywords but these often you can’t.

When taking your website name into account, one thing to consider is the seo side with reference to your keywords. If your keywords aren’t part of your website title then you’ll need to build greater emphasis into your link building and any other type of seo campaign.

Great advice in this article. Thanks for sharing

Baz,

Your ‘previous’ sounds similar to mine. I’ve tried lots of different things – lots of blogs in different niches.

Re: perfection. I think it’s a fear thing. Some people want perfection because they are concerned over what people will think and say if it isn’t. The quicker one gets over that fear the better…but it still has to be of a high quality.

I think you’re right about beign an expert rather than “jack of all trades” Andrew. When I started out I tried to do everything myself and while I did learn a lot, I didnt make much money. Since Ive become much more focused in what I do my earnings have increased a lot. Another thing which I used to do a lot of was try to do things “perfectly” – Ive since found that I make much more progress if Im not too worried about the little details – everything doesn’t need to be 100% perfect for it to work!

Chasey,

Sometimes you want to be the master rather than the ‘jack of all trades’.

That is a good approach – having the primary keyword in the domain name.

I have purchased a couple of aged domian names but 9 time out of 10, I always start from scratch.

Don’t Limit Yourself: If you choose a name that identifies exactly what you do, such as John’s Logo Design, you might be limiting the future growth of your business. Sometimes it makes sense to be a little more general, such as John’s Graphic Design.

When I buy a domain name I often try to include my number 1 target keyword in the domain name where possible. Ive found that this helps a lot with getting top Search Engine rankings…I sometimes try to get an aged domain if Im building a website in a very competitive niche…

Lars,

I’m glad I could help. Simply add another short word and you’ll be fine.

Nice video, gotta admit I agree with you on just about everything. Have had some problems in the past getting the domains I want, but hyphens can work wonders. Furthermore, I had no idea I could use my main phrase and just add another short word(tips/info) in the end, I really thought I had to have the key phrase and nothing else..

Guess I`ll sleep well tonight, keeping in the back of my head that I actually learned something today. Haha.

Here is also some advise when searching for a domain name.
Go to: www dot pcnames dot com

This site will quickly show the domain availability. I sometime spend hours searching for a good domain name. This site saves me much time. It gives a real-time update on domain availability.

Jeff,

Thanks for your advice on .info’s – I was unaware.

“You can always use your desired keywords first and just add an additional short word at the end like tips or info etc.” – very true!

Hi, some good information in your video, I agree with much of what your advising. I have many domains and I really have more trouble getting good rankings for my .info sites. Google does not seem to like them so much. I have much better success with .com, .org and .net domains. You can always use your desired keywords first and just add an additional short word at the end like tips or info etc.

When it comes to naming websites, I only abide with these three simple rules:

1.Make it unique – Using a similar name of another website owned by someone else is a recipe for disaster. Start by brainstorming at least five names with your friends.
2.Make it easy to type and remember – Do away with lengthy domain names that are just too hard to remember and pronounce. And, if possible, avoid the letters “q,” “z,” “x,” “c,” and “p”.
3.Create Expectations – The name should immediately present or at least give people an idea of what the website is all about. Be creative yet direct to the point.

That’s it. I hope what I shared will be useful to the people who visit this site.

What sort of name are you going for?

The problem I’m having is every good domain I can think of is already taken.

Don’t really want to include any hyphens, so the available domains are very thin on the ground.

Most of these domains are not even hosted – what a waste!

Im my opinion to get your blog noticed and on the web, it is all about social blogging and sharing your blog link with other bloggers on other blog sites.
