		<description><![CDATA[Author : Mollie Holman<br /><br />A question that comes up often is whether a company should be using a keyword rich domain name or not.  While it may be a bit easier to get rankings with keywords in your domain, it might not always be the best choice.  Before you make this crucial decision, ensure you know the benefits of each choice.
<br />
<br />Building Brand vs Building Rankings
<br />
<br />Before you purchase your domain name, you need to make the decision of what's more important - brand awareness or search engine rankings.  It's not that you won't get search engine rankings if you choose brand awareness, it's just that it might take longer to get those rankings.
<br />
<br />If you have a short, marketable company name, you likely want that company name well known in your niche.  This doesn't happen overnight - it takes many years of promoting your company name everywhere that you promote your website.  The rewards are priceless though.  Imagine having people automatically mention your company anytime they discuss your niche.
<br />
<br />If you have a longer company name or one that is less marketable, your brand awareness may not be as important.  For such a company, you would be very happy just to be getting search engine rankings and traffic.  Brand recognition may be more of a secondary goal to you.
<br />
<br />The Search Engine Optimization Benefits of Keyword Rich Domains
<br />
<br />Some people are under the impression that if you use a keyword rich domain name, you will automatically get rankings for that keyword phrase.  While this may be true in an uncompetitive niche, it usually isn't the case.  Having keywords in your domain name just gives a small rankings boost.
<br />
<br />It is debatable whether search engines automatically give rankings boosts for domain keywords or whether the rankings boost is an indirect result.  I am more inclined to believe that it is an indirect result.  When you have good keywords in your domain name, a large percentage of your links would have your keywords in the link anchor text.  Normally some of your links would go to less desirable anchor text such as your company name or url.  Those links only give boosts for specific keywords if you have keywords in your domain.  Think of all the links that require you to use your company or website name, .web directories, industry publications, press releases, etc.
<br />
<br />Although this boost may be a small one, you should be taking every bit of help you can in the battle to get rankings.  On top of the rankings help, domain keyword usage also gets your domain name bolded in the search results.  This can draw more attention and improve your click through rates.
<br />
<br />The Downside of Keyword Filled Domains
<br />
<br />There are cases where it is less advantageous to have keywords in your domain name.  
<br />
<br />In certain niches, this could make your url blend in with other competitors with similar urls.  If your domain looks the same as another well ranked site, people may think they have already visited your site.  You need to stand out.
<br />
<br />With some keywords, it can look quite spammy to use them all in your domain name.  Your url might look too long or the keywords might not apply to all of your offerings. This could severely limit your click through rates and conversion rates.
<br />
<br />By using your keywords in your domain name, you may be making it extremely tough to develop brand recognition.  Instead of always seeing your company name everywhere, people might instead just be seeing your keywords.
<br />
<br />Conclusion
<br />
<br />There is no right or wrong answer about what kind of domain name is better.  It just depends on your goals and the details of your circumstances.  You can get search engine rankings with virtually any domain name, but what domain is going to help your company the most?<br /><br />Jeremy Biberdorf is an internet marketing professional with over 10 years of experience.

		<description><![CDATA[Author : Lincoln Bender<br /><br />Domain name registration is an important part of your online business. In fact, it can be one of the most vital aspects of branding your business. A good domain name will make your site look professional before people even click on it whilst a bad domain name can drastically lessen the traffic you receive.
<br />
<br />Because you must choose a domain before your site goes online, domain name registration needs to be carefully planned so that you do not regret your choice later. There are some important factors to consider when registering a domain including:
<br />
<br />- The TLD or domain extension (.com, .net)
<br />- The purpose of your website
<br />- Any particular major keywords you are focusing on
<br />- How long you will register the domain for
<br />- Where you will register the domain
<br />- If you will buy domain privacy
<br />
<br />Let's take a look at the above factors in depth.
<br />
<br /><b>TLD</b>
<br />
<br />Ideally you will want to register a .com domain as your main domain. It can take many attempts to find an available .com domain so keep trying until you do. You may choose to add a dash into your domain. These are acceptable but it is not advisable to use more than one dash. If your site is going to be an authority site then consider also buying the .net, .org and .info domains too so competitors don't take them.
<br />
<br /><b>Website Purpose</b>
<br />
<br />If the purpose of your website is to act as a guide then using a word like "guide" in the domain is relevant. It is important to determine what your site is trying to achieve before the domain name registration. If you want your site to be brandable, then a made up word that is pronounceable is a good idea - that is what Google did!
<br />
<br /><b>Keywords</b>
<br />
<br />Most websites have one or two main keywords they wish to target. Incorporating these into your domain, where possible, may assist with search engine rankings.
<br />
<br /><b>Registration Length</b>
<br />
<br />It is a good idea to register a new domain for as long as possible. It is thought that Google looks favorably upon this and it eliminates the worry every year regarding paying for your registration.
<br />
<br /><b>Where To Register</b>
<br />
<br />There are many domain registrars, but there are only a few that you should consider registering at. You should ignore price when buying a .com domain because the difference between registrars is minimal. 
<br />
<br />What you should be looking for is a secure, reputable registrar. Some of the top domain registrars are Moniker, Name.com, Dynadot, Namecheap and GoDaddy. These registrars sell .com domains from $7.50 up to $10 per year.
<br />
<br /><b>Domain Privacy</b>
<br />
<br />Domain privacy prevents anyone accessing your data when they search for the owner of your domain name. People may search for domain owners through a WHOIS service. Depending on the purpose of your website, you may or may not want this data visible. Most registrars charge a yearly fee for WHOIS domain privacy.
<br />
<br />Domain name registration is an exciting process, but also a very important time so make sure you choose the very best available domain name for your website.<br /><br />Discover the most profitable <a href='http://www.dynamic4marketing.com/'>website marketing strategies</a> and <a href='http://www.dynamic4marketing.com/'>ways to make money online</a> using the very techniques, knowledge and tools that have made internet marketers millions of dollars at <a href='http://www.dynamic4marketing.com/'>http://www.dynamic4marketing.com/</a> More on <a href='http://www.articlecat.com/Article/Domain-Name-Registration--Vital-Factors-To-Consider-When-Registering-A-Domain-Name/271043'>Domain Name Registration: Vital Factors To Consider When Registering A Domain Name</a>         <a href="http://bluesky-online.com/2009/07/domain-name-registration-vital-factors-to-consider-when-registering-a-domain-name/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where have all the good domain names gone? You may be stumped about what domain name you ought to use for your new website. After all, there are several factors you must consider when choosing a domain such as if it helps to build your brand, if it is easy to remember, and if it has SEO benefits. Prior to brainstorming about a great domain name, you must determine whether your domain is disposable or permanent.</p>
<p>Disposable Domains vs. Permanent Domains</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re an affiliate marketer trying to make quick bucks selling acai supplements for weight loss, a domain such as acai-pill-for-weight-loss.com would probably fit the bill. Such a domain is considered a disposable or throwaway domain. You probably aren&#8217;t planning to use it for an extended period so making brand-building considerations isn&#8217;t really necessary.</p>
<p>If you have a permanent domain name that is an integral part of your larger brand-building efforts, you should use something that is easy to remember, distinctive, and credible-sounding. Your friends and webmasters would probably feel embarrassed linking out to a website with a domain such as acai-pill-for-weight-loss.com. Remember that you will have site visitors coming from several sources, not just search engines. A site domain that doesn&#8217;t look trashy is far more likely to get linked to on social media sites and beyond. Moreover, a site domain that is easy to remember will allow you to enjoy the advantages of word of mouth and score more return visitors.</p>
<p>Tips for Choosing a Brand-Worthy Domain Name</p>
<p>Great domain names are becoming scarce these days. That&#8217;s why when you get your hands on one it becomes an asset. So what defines brand anyway? A brand consists of experiences and associations that are connected to a person, company, or service. Think of a big brand like Nike for example. What do you associate Nike with? Perhaps you think of athleticism, victory, and self-confidence. Nike has successfully built a respectable brand image over the years. But what about small businesses who don&#8217;t have millions of dollars to spend building brand image? The little guys can come up with a memorable domain name through the soft branding technique, which consists of tweaking a concept already in existence rather than coming up with a completely &#8220;meaningless&#8221; name to represent your brand. Hotmail is an example of soft branding since people already understand the concept of &#8220;mail.&#8221; Google.com is an example of a &#8220;meaningless&#8221; domain name. People now associate the name Google with innovation, the future, and technology but when Google got its start, its name was little more than gibberish to most.</p>
<p>SEO Considerations when Choosing Domain Names</p>
<p>Some argue that it&#8217;s best to use a generic domain name that includes a target keyword because people are more likely to click on a URL that matches their search term. There is evidence which suggests that Google takes this factor into consideration when weighing the value of a website but different SEOs seem to have different opinions on the matter.</p>
<p>It can be difficult to include target keywords in your domain name if you want a brand-worthy domain that is unique and catchy. If you find that adding a target keyword would conflict with your domain name&#8217;s brand-building efforts, consider adding a byline. A byline describes what you do and contains your target keywords. Bylines become an important part of your brand as well. For example, if you sell curtains but your domain name is precision123.com, you could add a byline that says, &#8220;Window treatments in Philadelphia,&#8221; to give more details about your service.</p>
<p>Now that you are armed with this information, explore your options carefully when deciding on a domain name for your website. If you are looking to build a permanent domain that reflects your brand, by all means avoid cringe-worthy, hyphenated URLs and brainstorm to come up with something worthy of building your brand image upon. The key to success is coming up with a domain name that is memorable and distinctive and if possible, a name that hints at what product or service you offer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fad now is the internet, and it is not unusual for anyone, personal or business, to want to get online and there are plenty of options for you if you have made that decision. The internet has become an emporium of choice for anyone wanting to register a unique domain name, make a calling card of their own when going online. Marking your presence online is easy, but getting yourself out there can be really hard and it is all down to the type of internet domain registration that you are aligning yourself with. A domain in essence is really your address on the internet, and it is the digital real estate that will be attached to whatever it is you are doing online.</p>
<p>When choosing a domain or a domain name, there are certain things you need to know and some street smart aspects you can keep in mind to make sure you make the right decision. One of the things you need to know is the type of domain company that you are signing up with and make sure you read everything you can about the contract that you are signing up with. One of the things that you need to make sure is that length of time that you are going to be tied down, as most companies would give a customisable option for you. It could be as little as 6 months and as long as 10 years, the package really depends on you.</p>
<p>Also, make sure that you are getting the best rates out there and check against the type of service that they are offering. A good way to do this is to check the natural feedback mechanism of the internet and start finding out what people think about the domain host, its speed, its technical support and other factors that are quite important in determining your overall decision. Some of the domain websites out there can be quite expensive, but they do not give you the speed or the type of services that justify the price. Last but not least, you also need to look at the customisable options of the name and how much digital exposure this domain host has.</p>
<p>This helps you to drive traffic to your website, and the fundamental of this is the type of web hosting script that is given to you. These are your basic web building tools that you need to build up your website, the tools you need to set up your content management and perhaps other commercial aspects of your website. These are some of the things you need to know about Internet domain registration and making the right decision really depends on many more factors. Like getting property offline, you will need to do plenty of research and perhaps even get an agent. There are roaming web hosting agents online that help you to get the best deals, tailored to your budget, but their necessity is still in question. With so many choices out there, making the right decision should not be a problem.</p>
