How To Start A Website, Domain Names.
How important is a Domain Name?
ANSWER =VERY IMPORTANT.
The problem for many people when they start a Website is choosing the right Domain Name, this is what your Website will be known as to everyone on the Internet and should be researched properly before you buy.
Remember, that it is a Page from your Website that gets ranked and not your Website as a whole, Pages appear on Google for the relevance of the content which should always be original and not copied or spun.
Ideally your Domain Name should say something about the content you are going to have on your Website. Therefore if you were selling say ‘Diet Drinks’ you should be looking for a Domain Name that has ‘Diet Drinks’ in it,
e.g. getyourdietdrinkshere.com
Getting as close to your preferred Domain Name all depends on what’s available.
Also you should be looking to put (key) words into your Domain Name, which will help with your ranking and visitors, Keywords are normally used to get your site in a position where there will be people searching for what’s on your site.
A very big mistake for the beginner is to buy a Domain Name and then find out no-one puts in a search for that name, by not researching properly is the difference between success and failure.
There is a difference between your Domain Name and any content you publish for getting good Rankings, this will be covered at a later date.
Keyword research must be done before you buy a Domain Name.
There are Websites around and very good ones that have nothing to do with the Domain Name they are using, but trying to get a new business up and running is much harder this way, and often requires an already famous ‘brand’.
From the first time you thought about having an on-line business, you probably thought of what you would like to call your Website. This can present a problem if that Domain Name is owned by someone else, so what are your options?
Firstly you need to check that your choice of title for your site is available, this can be done quite easily from Google Search and putting in, ‘Domain Names Checker’. If you find that your Domain Name is available then buy it, do not wait.
There are different endings that you can get i.e. .com, .biz, .ws and so on. You are strongly advised to get a .com Domain Name as this promotes your site as serious and the buying public are more inclined to buy from a .com than from anywhere else.
Go to Google Search and put in anything, you will find that almost all of the top pages are from just a .com or a .co.UK
Of course if you only want to promote your Website locally then it would be fine to use a .co.uk for example, though you are then just appealing to U.K. visitors and not the World Wide Web. (the same applies to any country).
This is the numbers game,
If what you have on your Website is restricted to your home country then you might get 50 visitors a day and maybe 1 – 2 sales.
If what you have on your Website is for the whole World Wide Web then you could expect 500 visitors a day and maybe 10 – 20 sales.
By following these guidelines you stand a good chance of getting good rankings for what your trying to promote, everything I talk about can be found at my site and I hope to cover most things as soon as I can, if you would like to see the complete range of very detailed step by step guides then just follow the Free offer above, you get 2x Free Gift’s that are a must for the Internet Marketer.
