How to Choose The Best Domain Names
Choosing the best domain name for your niche is important but maybe not as important as some would lead you to believe. A good domain name will bring you organic (search engine) traffic simply because the name matches the keyword search but the days of finding a domain name with high levels of search volume are long gone.
A quick note for those new to the craft: Keywords can be defined as the specific terms used by person to search for something on the net. For example, to find this page, you may have searched for “domain names” or “best domain names”.
A good domain name will contain one or two keywords related to the niche you have chosen. The shorter the keyword the better but is become increasingly hard to find good two word names and a one word name is nearly impossible. You can however increase your odds by adding your name (or something you make up to the keywords. For example,the keyword combination “guitar lessons” gets a lot of searches, 28,000 per month at the time of this righting. This domain name is taken but by making it dougsguitarlessons.com you will still get a boost in the search engine rankings from the keywords “guitar lessons”
