Hi, I'm planning to start a new website. I need your advices for a domain name which does not have much competition in its keyword. The category of the domain name may be education (the reason is that im a teacher) or it can be something else. Pls suggest me some of your valuable thoughts.
A domain name is a important part of a Website. It's also the fist and best part of website SEO. Your domain name will be depended on website content. But try to make your domain name short. short site address help users to remember. Which type of content you want to put on your site actually?
tridosil I like your advices. Domain name is vary important for SEO. Domain name must be related on website content.
i purchased void.is and i am very happy with the domain name but it's too complex, they require reverse DNS it's not complex for me because i know a-lot but perhaps it would be too complex for you guys. in the future, void.is is going to have everything a human can wish for. i am going to make a web site that programmers love. and business people love. - Sumer Kolcak
if you stuck, you can also use some generator to get ideas, googling with this keyword ==> domain name generator
Have you ever looked towards crowdsourcing? Hundreds of people there who's job is to think of names. Once I save up enough money to give them a shot, I'll be using PickyDomains.com for my new blog.
What you should do is head over to the Google Keyword Tool and search for your general topic of your site. You will be given grades of competition. Try to find something with low competition and medium traffic. Look for this exact match domain name on Go Daddy and if it is open, purchase it. Try to get the .com versus any other extension.
Domain name is the most valuable part of the website. Domain name is the name of any website. As seo perspective domain name should be product base and how many search has a domain name in search engine business.
Domain name should not be the most valuable part of the web site if it is controlled by others. Apple Inc for example, domain does not matter, it can be .com it can be .it all that matters is, it is "apple" in every language. not just in english and even that does not matter all that matters is an apple symbol which can be read by aliens on other planets. what matters is the web site, not the domain domain should not be part of the web site if it is controlled by others my web site is called "void" in every language and every alien language. so if my registrar skrews me , no problemo. void-i-stand. - Sumer Kolcak
I don't think that the domain name is that important. I mean, with good optimization and great content, you can generate a lot of traffic without relying on the name.
Honestly, if you want a good domain name, you should decide what your budget is for acquiring the name. Then you should make a list of qualities you want the domain to have. After you admit to yourself that 99.999999999999% of the unregistered domains are not WORTH registering and that, if you do register one of these, you are likely to make a bad choice -- then you can look for good options. You can contact someone like myself with a large portfolio of domains (>10,000) and ask for a list of relevant domains that are under a particular price. Or you can browse various domain marketplaces. Or you can hire someone (again, like me) who works full time with domain names to compile a menu of options. But only go out and register a new .com yourself if you're the sort of person who is his own dentist, his own plumber, his own airline pilot, his own web designer, and the writer of the same books you read -- in short, if you don't believe specialists have a function. Big money says otherwise. If domain names do not matter, why do so many people pay thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars for a single domain name? They're not flukes. It happens daily, weekly, monthly. Most of the good domain names have been registered already. And that means most of the domains people are registering by hand these days are inferior. And that's what drives these big prices. It's simply a question of supply and demand -- decreasing supply and increasing demand. Yes, you can succeed if your website is something people want and can find -- even with a domain name that wouldn't be worth $8 million by itself. You could turn a domain name like incr3d1ble-eggs-forexforumtothe3rdpower.im into a hugely successful apartment listing website. But choosing Apartments.com as your domain name instead might confer a slight advantage.
you may go with keyword like what topic of subject that you going to teach . Topic and Subject might niche down your competitor and more target to your market, try not to choose for wide target keyword while it surely high competitor in the market. If possible you get .edu domain extension rather than .com or other domain extension.
