Help With Domain Name Suggestion

By Dean Smith


A website is a useful promotional tool. It is where you can inform people about yourself and your product. You can include details such as embedded videos, audio files and so forth. However whatever the content of a website it is important that people are able to find it. Therefore it is worth considering using domain name suggestion tools in order to make sure you get the traffic your website deserves.

You may have a fantastic website. It may look incredible and be very easy to use. People may even give you compliments about the work that has gone into it. But if what you have to type in to find it is long, difficult to remember or simply not relevant then it will decrease the amount of traffic you are getting.

In some cases it can be because you have picked one that is specific to your country. This often restricts the amount of people who may want to use it. This is why businesses often choose one that is a . Com as more people will be inclined to look at it and want to know more about what they have to offer.

If possible it should be . Com as opposed to a specific country such as . Co.uk or . Ie. This is generally what people tend to look for. You should also avoid names with excessive slashes or characters. If possible keep it to one word and make sure it includes a keyword that is relevant to your business. In some cases the . Com may not be available. If you have a name that you really want to use then a good alternative is . Org or . Info as these are often commonly looked at as well.

Keywords are a big part of this. Most people reading this article will have looked things up for themselves at some point and it is likely that they went to the first thing on the results page. Very rarely do you go for something that is two or three pages down. Therefore you want to choose something that people are going to look up a lot and will want to visit and return to.

Often the simplest one to do is the name of your business. But in some cases the name of your business may not clarify what it is you sell or do and therefore may not necessarily come up in searches. Therefore you may want to add something in order to clarify this and to make sure that people are likely to use that word. There are a number of sites where you can look up what people are searching and you should then consider how you can incorporate those words into the name.

Once you have found one you should also consider the hosting package and how much it will cost to renew. You do not necessarily have to buy it from the first site you see. It is worthing checking other sites that offer this service in order to see what is available.

There are a number of tools available for domain name suggestions. You can also find a lot of directory sites and customer reviews recommending them. It is worth trying a couple to see what results come up the most frequently. This should help you find the best ones for your requirements.
