Choosing the right domain name for SEO is a serious decision. Thats because SEO is a long term investment and so is your website including its web hosting and domain. Here are 10 things to consider when it comes to selecting a domain name for SEO in 2020.
1. Using a Brand Name in Your Domain Name
Google loves brand signals. This helps to filter high quality sites from the low quality ones. According to the CEO of Google, Brands are a solution to user queries. This means that it is always safe to choose your brand name as a domain name.
2. Exact Match Domains (EMDs) are a Big No
Exact Match domains are the ones that use primary keywords or key phrases as it is without any hyphens etc. A few examples include:
Webdesign.com
carrentals.com
shoes.com
The reason behind using an EMD is that they have been used in the past as a black hat technique to outdo good quality sites through spamming. Google has now started to overlook the benefit that EMD once used to bring to webmasters.
3. Don’t Select Hyphenated Keywords as Your Domain Name
Dont use hyphens in your domain name such as “design-your-web.comâ€. Similar to EMDs, hyphenated domain names look outdated and spammy.
4. Select .com as Your Top Level Domain (TLD)
‘Top Level Domain’ (TLD) indicates the domain name extension. .Always use .com extension since it is the most popular and widely recognized. TLDs such as .biz, .us, .info and .ws are considered spam and must not be selected. Country level extensions are also good, especially if your target audience resides locally. .PK domains are good if you are targeting Pakistani audience.
5. Choose an easy to remember Domain Name
You may not think of it as an important tip, however, the truth is that it is quite important. That is because a user may wish to return to your site. If the domain name is memorable, he would return easily, if it's difficult then you may lose your potential returning users. Make sure the domain name is easy to pronounce.
6. Domain Name Length
Short domain name is preferred over long domain names. As a thumb rule, keep it up to 15 characters. Most sites have upto 9 characters in their domain name.
7. Don’t Use Numbers in Your Domain Name
Numbers in a domain name are also a big No. that's because the user doesn't know what to type if he/she is referred to a site by mouth. They may type in figures or in numeric and that can lead to confusion such as 3bigcompany.com or threebigcompany.com. They also look spammy such as 123cardsonline.com.
8. Choose a Self Explanatory Domain Name
Select a domain name that explains your company and its services clearly. Main sites have domain names that keep a user guessing. This is not a good user experience practice. Pay attention to self explanatory domain names. This will improve your referral and direct traffic in SEO over time.
9. Make Sure Your Domain Name is Clear to Everyone
Always check the meaning of the words you choose as a domain name. The domain name once selected can’t be changed and have multiple meanings. For example:
garbageonline.com
Conclusion
Choosing a nice and clean domain name requires experience and guidance. The 9 tips shared above will target the above shared keywords for improved rankings and growth. You can also buy domain name at a discounted price near the yearly Christmas and new year holidays.
