    I'm getting a problem determining my domain name for my website, based on my keywords that I'll use for my articles. What are the things to consider so as to come up with the most relevant domain name?

    You will have to search with google keyword suggest tols for the related keywords and start searching on Namecheap.com for the most relvant one you can find with maximum searches.

    Content is always the king, although relevant domain name will play a handy role in getting good number of visitors but yet content comes first.

    Choosing domain names will be very important. Because it will be your brand and it will be permanent (for 1yr). The content can be changed though it will be the ones that will direct the traffic. In choosing domains, it will be an advantage to use "exact match keyword domains" with high searches. It will give you an advantage against your competitors and it will be easy to rank in search engines.

    Domains come first for me. Because you can play with your contents later.

    Depends on the use you give to each one, both are important.

    First comes the domain, which can make or break all your future efforts at content. Then comes the content itself, which can either thrive with the domain or make a good name go to complete waste.

    If you have a good name and quality content, you're on the right track for a good (and productive) site.

    Simply get a new domain that contains most of your relevant keywords. This will help you in SEO a lot.

    See that your domain name contains the targeted keywords, and the domain name should be shorter.

    If you are shooting for a particular keyword phrase, you may be better off using that keyword phrase in your domain name. Google, for instance, looks at the domain name when evaluating a site. If the words in your domain name are spaced with dashes, many believe it will help in the ranking process. This is why you see so many xxx-xxxx-xxx.com domain names on the net. If your business focuses on a very specific area, strong consideration should be given to using relevant keywords in your domain name.

    You have two options. Go with a brandable domain or use a keyword domain.
