Warning About Web Page Software

Choosing the right web page software to make your own website from is just as important and choosing the right domain name when it comes to search engine optimization or SEO.  Very few professional SEO webmasters will tell you the software you can effect your search engine rankings. The more people buying the cheap web page software or the using freeware the better - less competition for the serious webmasters.

Let's take a closer look at this statement. Websites made with web page software (especially the free ones or free content management systems) rarely making it to the top searches within Google. Do a search in Google on your niche keyword for yourself. How many sites on the front page of your Google search have been made with free editors, content management systems or free web page software indeed web page software at all? Very few if any. Repeat this search with some other keywords as well. Why would this be?

The same can be said for Microsoft FrontPage software webs and Flash.  Early versions of FrontPage post erroneous html script that dilute your keyword density and make it harder for the Googlebot to get to your juicy keywords. Flash websites provide little html for SEO at all. These types of web page software are also best avoided if you want high rankings of the search engines.


If you’re serious about wanting to make your own website on the economical side, without having to purchase HTML Editors or web development software, then consider using General Public License or GPL, Joomla being the most popular.

Joomla, allows you to build a professional looking website with the full back end function with database and newsletter management systems for as little as $15-$299 including the training. You can make your own website with GPL  for free, however, you will get the designers advertising on the bottom of your template so you run into the same issues as the web page software. GPL offers such good value for money it is worth investing a little on custom templates and training. Tutorials range from $79-$299.

If you use 1.5 web templates you’ll also be able to search engine optimize and have full control over your template HTML. To have a fully fledged professional website up within a day, with full search engine optimization capability for only $79 and you’ll still come ahead of the cost of web page software so it is well worth your investigation.

How To Choose A Domain Name for SEO

When considering an SEO Domain or domain name that is search engine optimized we are basically talking about keywords you want to target being in your domain. For example if your site is about Men’s Health but your company name is Health Plus, you would have two websites. One for your company and the other a SEO Domain with the keywords “Mens Health” in the domain name.

You will need to do some market research to find the right domain name.

3 Key Elements of SEO Domain Names

As mentioned in the video, domain suffix .com, .net and .org are your best bet for an SEO domain. Let us suppose you wanted MensHealth.com but it was taken  - you could ad words before or after the main keyword combination like www.MensHealthWorld.net which by the way is also taken but it is an example. You can also try using the word My infront of your keyword combination like www.MyMensHealth.com .

If your keyword is information you and also try MensHealthInfo.com and so on until you come up with a good solution. Many of the domain name registration services will suggest options for you if your main choice is already taken. It’s about getting creative as well as choosing a name that is both description and search engine optimized.

SEO domain names are as scientific as they are creative. Take some time to do your market research, look at your competition.  Try to add a world that offers your point of difference in the domain name as well. In this way you not only have your SEO domain name but also a reason for the viewer to click on your site over your competitions.
