Choosing a Domain Name for Niche Website
Really useful and short tips on how to choose a domain name for your niche website. Top 4 things you should consider before choosing a domain name. Free tools and resources that may help you to brainstorm and choose a perfect domain name for your niche website.
One of the factors that will play a great role in your success is the domain name you choose for your niche website. Here are some quick tips for you.
1. The first thing you should consider is clue between your niche and the domain name. It would be perfect if your domain name have the main keywords you want to get listed on search engines. We own the domain nichewebsitetemplates.com, it doesn’t have any content except 3 words in head tag and only one backlink, but it gets listed for the keyword ‘niche website templates’. A really bad example is our own website www.ipove.org, also it makes it hard for us to get listed for the keyword ‘niche website designer’ or ‘niche website services’.
Additionally, it affects the permalink structure we use, if our domain name had keywords ‘niche’ and ‘design’, we wouldn’t use .org/category/post-name.php structure, since .com/post-name is much more SEO friendly link structure.
2. Don’t just brainstorm, make use of the resources available. The website addresses listed below can be helpful:
You can use keyword tools as well.
3. Keep it as short as possible!
Not short, but as short as possible is recommended. Do not make it a great problem. 3 word in domain name is OK. Additionally, try to find a memorable, not hard to spell, hard to misspell name.
4. Hyphens and Numbers:
Nowadays, most of SEO friendly domain names are taken, the first domain you want to get is always taken by somebody else. At that point, you may want to use hyphens or numbers in your domain name, it is recommended not to use hyphenated names. About the extensions, use one of three extensions: .com, .net or .org.
Where to get the domain name?
You can get .com domain at very low price: $6.99 at 1and1.
