Hello Readers , Today will share you the top most tips to prefer the right domain name. Domain name is the center of your internet identity. Choosing the right domain name is the hardest and important task for every blogger and for every business owner. Coming to the point of SEO strategy choosing the right domain name is the first and important step. So here are the 6 top most important prefer the right domain name.



Use Keywords :

Keywords are the first main thing to take care before registering domain. Firstly when you start searching for domain name make a list of 5 – 10 keywords of your selected niche or business. Once you make the list you can add some prefixes to make a good domain. Don’t aim the keywords which are having high competition. Always select the low competitive and unique keywords. You can also search using Google Adwords Keyword tool which shows the global and local monthly searches. So that you can easily select the low competitive keyword as your domain name.

Make your Domain name Unique:

Select a unique domain name. Don’t select the particular word and also the misspelled words that already contains in a popular websites which are already registered. Ex: if you are looking for Crunchyhub which is already registered then you may select crunchihub. So it is the big mistake to select the misspelled words. Don’t use your personal name as your domain name if you are selecting it for business purpose. Many people are doing this mistake and facing huge loss in their business. Better to select the names for the personal blogs. Select the unique domain name which suits your business and select names which you advertise your products.

Make it Easy to Type, Short and Remember :

Try to make your domain name short and simple. Short domain names are always easy to type and also easy to remember. Always try to avoid numbers and hyphens in the domain names because it is very hard to type and remember and use the letters which are easy to type. Here Spellings are also very important while selecting a domain name. Suppose if you register crunchihub.com instead of crunchyhub.com the traffic will move to the correct spelled domain i.e. Crunchyhub.com. So always take care about Spellings while choosing the domain name because correct spelled words are easily remembered.

Only Choose Dot-Com Available Domains :

Domain name is the combination of two words “unique name” + “dot extension”. If you want to run a serious online business you need take care before selecting the extension. There are many domain extensions which you can choose according to your need and most of the serious business owners choose the top level domain extensions i.e. .COM, .NET, .ORG. There are also country level extensions which you can choose according to your country. Here I suggest is better to choose the available .COM domain. Most of the users guess and type the .COM extension with your unique domain name because .COM tends the best. So always select the available .COM domain name which is easy to remember and type.

Avoid Copyright Infringement :

You must not register copyrighted words as your domain name. Registering the Copyright names is the big mistake which you must not do because it can kill your domain and your business also. Using the trademark names is a violation of international law. Recently I registered a domain which is trademark registered and I got a mail from them to handover the domain or else they will appear in court regarding the domain. So immediately I transferred them the domain and they paid me the domain registration charge. So better stay out of registered trademark names.

Purchase your domain for long time :

As per Google majority of Spam websites (i.e. Domain Names) are registered for one year. Because Google feels that serious business owners only register their domain names for multiple years. So register your domain for atleast 5 years to avoid spam in Google. Registering domains for multiple years means having a better chance of ranking highly in search engine. Long term registered domain is good for SEO and you will have a less chance of losing your domain. Always register your domain for multiple years i.e. atleast 5 to 10 years to have a better chance of high ranking in search engine results.
