Get a Domain Name That Works Wonders
To make a success selling information products online it really helps to have your own domain name and a website to sell things from. But what name should you buy?!
It really is worthwhile spending some time brainstorming your ideas even before you get ready to search. Try to include keywords in your domain name that are related to the product you’re selling or promoting.
Think like your customer! What are they searching for? What words or phrases do they type into Google or Yahoo search engines?
A friend whose website is about wealth creation figured people would be looking for “get out of debt” or “financial freedom” even “how to build a business”. When she analysed her web stats she found she had a huge number of hits from people typing in “how to make a million”… think like a customer!
You can go to somewhere like http://www.citrusdomains.com and enter your ideas into their search box to see if your first choice (even second or third choice) name is available.
Depending on your product idea, you might find that all the “obvious” domain names are already taken. After a search at CitrusDomains.com, if you scroll down the page you’ll see some suggestions are usually offered that might inspire you further.
Have you thought about adding words to the front of your keyword phrase:
the, my, best, first, top….
Or try adding words to the back of your keyword phrase:
online, club, site, blog, today, USA, UK
these slight modifications can open doors to some really valuable keyword-rich domains.
I registered DigitalProductsToday for a future product range – not bad but who types “digital products” into Google?? So I managed to grab some hot iPhone related links using exactly the strategies I described. Do you think people search for “iPhone deals” on Google? You bet they do!
You could consider adding hyphens between words – it’s not my favourite strategy but it makes sure your keywords get seen by your clients and by the search engines and that’s what matters!
In internet marketing, if the search engines see your website, your website gets traffic.
If your website gets traffic, you can get more sales.
So go ahead, visit http://www.citrusdomains.com today and start creating some traffic-pulling, keyword-rich domains today!
