Choosing the best domain for your website

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 posted by 9:12 pm

Choosing the best domain for your website requires that you pick your site concept out after finalizing your plan on how to layout your site and how you will make money with it.  The best domain name is a combination of the best keywords of your site concept.  It should say what you do and where you do it if it is a local business.  It should be easy for the web surfer to know immediately what it is that you do.

People search online for a solution to their problem or information on a specific topic.  They are looking for answers.  When they find a site that tells them there is a good chance that they will find what they are looking for just by looking at the domain name there is a good chance for them to click on your site.

I think one of the things SBI! overlooks is showing people how to choose the best domain and concept for their website when they are a service business like for a massage website.  You already have a site concept – whatever service you provide.  The best domain will be what service you provide and where you do it if it is a local business.

Looking for cutesy domain names while it may be fun, people won’t know what you do.  While it can be done in the long run using your main keywords on other pages, it can help make the process go faster by choosing a name like massageyourcity.com  or  seattlecpa.com  or seattleestatelawyer.com  (That of course is only what I have found and would love to hear others opinions on choosing the best domain name for your website.)
