4 Best Tips To Buy Good Domain Names Not Taken
Buying a good domain name is always a challenge for many webmasters, but things can be made little easy with a bit of knowledge. Here are some tips which can make your job a lot easier when it comes to choosing a better domain name.
1. Single Word Domain Names Are Almost Impossible
No matter whatever word you got in your mind right now, it’s highly likely that someone somewhere in the world has registered for that domain name for a long time now. But if you have a chance to stumble up on a domain name with a single word then don’t miss your chance. So why do people prefer short domain names? Short domain names are easy to remember and it’s highly likely that your site comes up in the first page for the term, which is searched by many. But you need to know that in order to buy a single word domain name now, you need to have a very big budget.
2. Try To get Key terms In your Domain Name
The next best option when you cannot afford to buy a single word domain name is buying a domain name with key terms or key phrases in it which people often search for in your niche. For example if your chosen niche is “Chicken Recipes” its almost impossible that you can get hold of the domain name “Chicken recipes.com” without spending thousands of dollars on it. But instead you can try out some keywords which people look for in search engines like “howtocookchicken.com” or “howtochickenrecipes.com” and you can try many combinations of keywords to make some sensible sentence which is likely to be searched by people in search engines. You can use Google keyword too which is free tool to get some ideas on choosing a key term or key phrase for your domain name.
3. Make Sure Your Domain Name Suits Your Niche
I often come across people choose a domain name for their site just because the term they are using for their domain name is searched by many, but this might lead to some issues like your visitors getting disappointed for finding a site that has nothing to do with its name, so it might increase the bounce rate of your site which is a bad thing from SEO point of view. So just be sure your domain name has something to do what you have planned to do with your site and not really misleading your visitors.
4. Having A Long Domain Name May Not Be A Bad Idea
I have seen many webmasters holding big domain names and many feel that it might just be a bad idea to hold a longer domain name for your site, but it’s not really true, especially when you are focusing on people who would reach you through search engines. How many times have you got something you are looking for from just the site names you are familiar with? Most people use search engines and get to sites they have never heard before. So if you are focusing on audience who are going to be primarily from search engines then having a bigger and self explanatory domain name is not such a bad idea.
