Which Domain Name Should I Choose?

Posted on January 7, 2021 by admin

This is an excellent question. Let’s say I am starting a

brand new online venture. I have decided on my company name

and it is already confirmed as registered. For example I

have named my company Joe’s Trading Inc and I sell cheap

widgets. I now need to get my domain name. So what do I

choose?

Firstly let’s begin with the actual company name. My company

is called Joe’s Trading Ltd so it makes sense that I should

register joestradingltd.com or joestrading.com or

joestrading.co.uk right?

Nope…this is not the best choice…

When I register a domain name there are some major factors

which I need to take onboard. Firstly, what is the purpose

of the domain? Is it’s purpose corporate branding or is it

to drive traffic to my website?

Well if I am running ‘IBM’ or ‘MacDonalds’, then for sure

branding is a clear consideration but ‘Joes Trading Ltd’

simply wants to make sales of blue widgets online and

hopefully many, many sales. My real priority is to generate

as much targeted website traffic to my site to convert to

sales

My business is selling widgets. This is my target market

and my unique selling position is that they are really

cheap. But what has this got to do with my domain name?

Well…Everything!

The domain name itself is a huge factor which search engines

consider when they automatically decide the importance of

sites they decide to index in their search results.

on search engines. And today, search engines provide 90% of

web site traffic. In fact in recent studies, it has been

discovered that the domain name counts for 30% of all

factors which the search engine decides is important for

ranking a website.

The domain really is THAT important!

So what makes a higher ranking domain name? Well, firstly

shorter the better. There is a clear correlation between

the length of the domain and its ranking is the search

results. Secondly, the domain must include the keyword for

which you wish to rank high. In this case Joes Trading Ltd

sells Widgets so the domain should contain widgets. The

widgets are cheap so the domain could be cheapwidgets.com.

This domain is going get higher ranking in the search

engines for the search term ‘widgets or ‘cheap widgets’

than ‘joestrading.com’ could ever hope to achieve

Higher ranking means more traffic which in turn means more

sales & profits. So when it comes to purchasing your domain

make search engine ranking your number one priority.
