A Winning Domain Name
The domain name is one of the most important decisions you will make when
trying to win over the search engine dilemma. Try using at least one of your
best keywords within your domain name.
The search engine and the directories
give higher preference when your domain name is relevant to your site content or
theme.
Let me give you an example of three different ways you could look at
your domain name and how the major search engines will view them for
indexing.
www.trafficnmore.com
www.trafficNmore.com
www.traffic-N-more.com
Which
one would you have chosen?
www.trafficNmore.com, Right!
The search engines
may not necessarily see it that way.
Even though trafficNmore.com is easily
understood by the eye of the visitor, the search engine will not see the
difference between trafficnmore.com and trafficNmore.com.
Both are good
ranking for a site dealing with traffic issues.Even though you have the approval
of your visitor looking for your information, you could get a higher ranking
with the search engines by using www.traffic-N-more.com and still keep the eye
appeal for your visitor.
Here is why.
The hyphen breaks up a longer
domain name to reveal the major keywords that describe your website content or
theme. This makes it easier for the visitor to understand and most importantly
allows the search engine to detect your keyword for indexing right off the bat.
Cool, huh?
Moral of the story, give your visitor a break, be nice to the
search engines and they’ll be nice to you and give you lots of reoccurring
traffic for free.
