Everyone on the internet is always in search of domain names which are good easy to remember and available for registration because as of today already 96,787,761 domain names are redistered [source – Total domain names count]
Now while registering a domain name many people always look out for keyword stuffed domain names like www.mainkeywords.com but lets assume every 1 word and 2 word domains are all registered. Here are some suggestions while registering a domain name.
1. Always register a .com domain name rather than a .info domain name if you are really serious about your project.
2. Never book a domain name like www.applyforacreditcardonline.info just for targetting a keyword like “Apply credit card online” because keywords stuffing is not always suggested.
3. If you are looking for a credit card related domain name just give a search in google for the keyword – “Apply credit card” and you will find websites having the following title – Credit Card Applications, Compare Credit Card, Online Credit Card, Credit Card Offers, Online Credit Card, capital one credit card, Bank of america credit card, best credit cards, citibank credit card and lots more from which you need to reshuffle the keywords back and front and try to make a good combination using some additional words if necessary like – top, best, zoom, pedia, szoom, hub, shub, city, scity, time, stime, times, depot, sdepot, plus, plus, book, sbook, world, sworld, gears, base, guru, brains, minds, talk, 9, ideas and some more suffix or prefix keywords you would like to add. These keywords gives your domain name a professional look because the 4-6 words domains or hiphen domains dont look professional.
4. Here is a example domain name which we registered when we were looking for a domain name related to Health Tips – www.helpfulhealthtips.com which now Ranks #2 for the highly competitive keyword – “Health Tips” – Results 1 – 10 of about 250,000,000 for Health Tips. This is a clear example of why to add some related keyword in the suffix or prefix of a domain name.
5. Always register a domain name for a longer period if you are looking for a serious project on the website and dont signup with offers like 1$/year domain name registrations which companies like yahoo.com offer since they charge heavily on renewal time.
6. Dont buy expired domain names just by seeing their old page rank, because page rank does not help in long term and the expired domain would have got many previous penalities. Always go for a new fresh domain name registration or a domain name from a good seller which has a good archieve record with no search engines ban due to previous black hat optimization.
7.Go for a local TLD registration of you are targetting local visitors, for example if you are targeting visitors who would come to your website in search of gadgets information go for a domain name like gadgetsinformation.in
Will update here with more tips and tricks on domain name selection for Top Search engine rankings.
Nice information to share with. Although I was aware of maximum or you can say all of these stuff but for newbies this is really helpful. Keep it up bro.
I am planning to buy some domain names on technical side. Is it worth buying those domains. I am also looking for longer time to earn as much as i can
Great tips. Although adding akeyword name is not a must it icertainly helps.
Hi Amit,
That is really nice post to start on domain name business. Well just a simple questions are .info domains are now considered as spam by Google because they were used to create MFA sites some time back.
@ Amit Nyamtabad – No they are never considered as spam in the eyes of google because i can show you many domains/websites based on .info ranking a lot well in the search engines and .info mainly stays for information and people use it for spamming because it costs just 20% of what a .com domain name costs, hence they do their main business on the .com based domains and use .info domains for link building/ directories/ black hat techniques since they cost almost nothing.
one pther uperb article by amit…. thankssssssss
Thanks Amit, I almost marked them as TLD’s for easy spamming & was planning to just not to register them anymore !
sir ji what u saying ..read 1 tip…com domain .in ur second contest u provide .in domain.:)
The tips were good enough but according to me the reason why people move towards buying .info is due to low cost.
Initially many people don’t afford to buy a .com and so rather ending up with nothing they buy a .info instead.
i couldn’t agree more with you. .com is better than .info
but, for a first year .info is quite cheap and is usable for making a try-out website.
at godaddy, .info is currently priced at lower than 1 USD.
i have registered vakancy.com which is against the real spelling… will that play a negative role while i would do SEO for it ?
Thanks for these tips! I didn’t actually know about the local domain names if you’re targetting locals before..
I plan to buy a domain name or hopefully win one, and then once I’m in college I can renew it myself 😀
