Finding a SEO Friendly Domain Name Quickly
March 17th, 2010
Let’s begin this article on the assumption that you’ve made a decision about a topic for your new website, and have done some studying into the keywords and keyphrases that are associated with it.
Now you have a list of keywords, and key phrases to target for your niche website, the following phase is to find a suitable, applicable domain name. Something relevant, catchy, simple for visitors to remember and importantly SEO friendly.
We’ve disovered an easy way to find a keyword-rich, search engine friendly URL which will help greatly when it comes to Search Engine Optimisation.
Probably the most efficient way to find your new URL is to use the www.GoDaddy.com bulk URL lookup which can be seen on the bulk domain register part of their website.
You can do this by simply copying and pasting your key phrases and keyword list into the domain form input box, and also your chosen keyword phrases with the spaces replaced with ‘-’ (in notepad, choose ‘Replace’ then replace a ‘space’ with ‘-’) for example mygreatdomain and my-great-domain.
After you’ve done that, tick the three most popular extensions (com, net and org) and you’re done! (I personally wouldn’t choose any others if you’re after the most hits). You can search up to 500 keywords or keyword phrases at a time, and it’s a very quick process.
If your chosen niche is a highly competitive topic, you may find that a lot of the domain names are already taken, and the register will tell you which ones have already gone. If you’re very fortunate you’ll be able to register a domain name which is also your main focus keyword or keyword phrase, and that will help a lot when it comes to search engine optimisation!
