SEO Domain

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.
