5 Essential Tips to find and select SEO-friendly Domain Name in India.

A Website should be comprised of many attributes but the Domain Name is the main factor. While keeping a domain name you should first give the due importance to SEO so that it improves the website’s search engine ranking. If you keep an improper domain name which doesn’t relate to the website it will give a wrong impact on your website or blog for a long run. There are many who keep their personal name as their domain name which is not recommended but it's an exception if you are a celebrity or a well-known person. 

Now I understand that there are many domain names that are already taken but there is an option of buying a domain name where you may have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars if you want to.

While selecting a domain name you should go for .com domain extension because it is good for SEO and branding but if you want your website to target more of Indian Traffic then you should go for .in domain extension. For example, Cloud.in is easy to remember and easy to pronounce but if you keep a name like thisisanimportantwebsite.in then people won’t take your website seriously so you should choose a domain name which relates to your website and should be an appropriate domain name. 

 

The following are tips and advice for choosing an SEO friendly domain for your website:-

Original yet Unique:-

You have to be super creative while choosing the name for your blog because it’s the first thing your viewers or your audience see so it should resemble your website, it should be easy to pronounce, easy to remember, catchy name and many more. When your domain name itself is creating a buzz and attracting viewers then you have done a wonderful job. You need to keep your viewers coming back again to your website or blog so the domain should be in such a way that it is memorable.

Short and Crisp:-

A long domain name will bore your potential viewers or they might forget the second they read the domain name. Make sure that the domain name is simple and short by targeting to keep the domain up to 10 characters which will ultimately make it easy to remember, understand and convenient to type.

Hyphens not allowed:-

A domain name that includes Hyphen is expected not to be an SEO friendly name. The Domain Name that includes a Hyphen is supposedly observed to be spam website because they are available at low prices. But even though it is difficult to type a name with punctuation marks and it is also more difficult to remember a domain name with hyphens. So it is better that you avoid using hyphens in the domain name because that will affect the website traffic rate.

Branding:-

If you are focusing more on SEO then you should use your brand name for your domain name. There are many who avoid using their brand name which adversely affects your website SEO. Whatever service or product you will be rendering will be according to your brand so selling stuff on your website with your brand name will be added advantage for your business and also for SEO purpose. If you do this then your domain name will be your marketing component. A brand name often derives uniqueness and its own identity thus when you put your brand name as your domain name then you will be creating an active user followers.

Website extension:-

As discussed earlier that choosing a .com extension is recommended because it is global and it is most common extension used thus it makes it easily recognizable by the users. But if your website traffic target is limited to the specific countries then you should use extension according to the country domain level. In India, the domain name extension most commonly used is .in.

Keywords:-

Jason L Bauman, SEO Associate at Trinity Insight said that the best option is to select a company branded domain is to determine the targeted keywords that will be suitable to the service or the industry you are into. Ubersuggest is a tool that can be used to look for suitable terms from your industry that will give you an idea to keep the domain name. 

Search Engine Optimization is often used gaining traffic from the targeted users so when your website name is not visible to the preferred audience then it is a waste of the Internet space. Therefore, it is very essential to keep a name that is SEO friendly so that it fulfills the aim and goals that your website targets.

Top 6 Tips to choose the best domain name for your business.

Hi, everyone, I am back with the interesting tips and tricks for your small business, to grow it biggest amongst all..!!

Today lets talk about the most basic thing for a website to go up on air, what is it? Of course, my blog title says it all. It's the “Domain name” the name of your baby website.

Domain name is the name by which everyone recognizes the business online. eg. Hostindia.net

It's not hard to choose a domain name, but a little tricky task, we need to take some small things into consideration before picking a domain name.

I have listed the top 6 tips for selecting a perfect domain name for your business. You can follow these tips to get most out of your domain name.

1. Quickly Recognizable:
   Domain name is the main asset to reach your website online. It is your brand name.
   So always make it a point to select a domain name that is short, and related to your business.
   If you use short forms or numbers in your domain name then it might be difficult for your customers to understand. For example. If you put short forms your clients may misspell it and will be directed to another business. Also totally avoid the use of numbers and hyphens.

2. Easy to remember:                                                                                                                  A domain name must not be hard to type or recall, as we know customers do not have the habit to write down each and every website address they visit.                                                            Even if the content of web page was fairly liked by the customer, later they could not recall what site he/she visited then its a big loss in your direction.                                                            Use ideas such that it represents your business, keywords make best business names.               If you have a coffee place, the customer will search for keywords related to which coffee you provide, area name, cost, the menu will be the main focus.                                                                   You can target the audience as youngcoffee.domain ,                                                                                                                       coffeehouse.domain,                                                                                                                      mumbaicoffee.domain etc.                                                              Before jumping to the conclusion you have to check if the domain name you like is not a copy right or a business name. If it's not taken by anyone else you can register through that name. Hostindia.net provides a tool that helps you check the availability of your domain name, also if that domain name is not available, it gives suggestions of the nearest possible variation in extensions.

3. Unique:
   Your business is unique so must be your domain name. For easy identification and less confusion.

4. Not close to brand name:
   If your domain name is similar or close to any big brand with a different utility, you may get traffic to your website but not meant for you. Distinguish yourself as a separate brand.

5. Rich in keywords:
   Give time for researching your domain name. It must have rich keywords. For a coffee shop, the keyword variation may be wide, you have to analyze your surrounding and fix which words are mostly used when people relate to a coffee shop/(your business). Target your location (area of business) because it gives you maximum traffic.
   Ex. Cold coffee place
   best coffee
   cheapcoffee
   coffee near pune
   ritucoffee
   famouscoffee,

   coffee combo etc..

Domain extensions play an equally important part in website's success.
