Importance of Domain Name in SEO

Normally people think SEO starts when the website is up and running.
But SEO's Role starts even before that, right from planning stage of website.
Choosing a domain name helps a lot to get benefit out of SEO.
Especially when your domain name has keyword in it, that will do wonders.

Normally websites owners have tendency to put their company name as a domain name, which is good but it doesn't hurt to choose a domain name based on your keywords and having built a website around it.

I don't deny the possibility of having multiple websites of same company, with keyword focused approach in domain name. You can have a good unique content on those websites targetting your services and products.
I am sure you will get excellent traffic as well as good conversion out of it.

 

search term on your domain name is a big factor on SEO..
most of the site that has targeted keywords in their url rank well in Google..

 

yes, domain name plays very important role in SEO, i did work for many websites and i gain good ranking for niche keywords having tough competition and main benefit was keyword name in domain.. it gives more weight for SEO.

 

domain keywords gives more weight by google it is already proven by many webmaster and seo professional

 

Domain name is very important, SEO wise. Also the extension counts.

Make sure you choose wisely.

And if you have to, buy a domain from someone. You're investing in the future of your website.

 

Yes, keyword in domain obviously help lot in SEO. It will done 40% of the SEO work.

 

yes domain name is help to get ranking on serps if you are using exact keyword which you are targeted

 

yaa i agree with you domain name is playing a very important roll regarding your web site promotion.

 

As other says, I am also agree that domain name have a big part in SEO., domain name helps site to be crawled mostly when you put your title or main keyword into it.,

 

Thanks to share your experience it helps a lot

 

Having a good domain name with some of your keywords in will make it easier for you, but its not essential.

 

thanks for that informative post that you have share it is really nice and informative.

 

What if the domain name is not available what we want but its available with prefix or suffix.
like mydomainname.com thedomainname.com or domainnameonline.com, domainnametoday.com
here prefixes are "my" or "the" or suffix like "online" or "today".

Does that still help?

 

right now domain is important but i think in a few years it wont make any difference at all

 

It won't make any difference if Google decides to change the algo.

 

yes domain name plays good role in SEO but i have seen many sites using different domain names related to content of the site and having good position in SERPs
means if you are not getting good domain name you can go for good SEO later

 

Doing SEO is most important with basic concepts of onsite, offsite SEO and SEM but domain name does play a good role if you are successfull to grab a good one. But that doesn't mean the basic SEO won't be needed.
Keyword Domain with planned SEO can bring enormous results.

 

I don't think so, if you are doing good seo, no need to have keywords in domain name, such one example i would like to give here.

search in google

with "seo company australia" can you find out in first results any seo, company or australia word?

Every thing depends upon on your seo...

 

SEO is must and should be done well for a site where you need a good traffic without spending money on PPC. I don't deny that fact but the only thing here I would like to convey is if having domain name with keyword, the efforts are some % less.
