Selecting a Domain Name

Many people are frustrated when it comes to selecting and registering a Domain Name for their website.  It is actually a very simple process but there are a number of factors that you should take into consideration.   First, it is a fact that all the top search engines give priority to a domain with a primary suffix – i.e. com/net/org.   Therefore do not select or accept a recommended domain with a .biz, .info, or .us suffix.  

What this clearly indicates is that you need to get creative in selecting the various optional base domain names in order to end up with a .com, .net, or .org suffix.   An example should suffice here.  If you plan to sell baseball gloves you will find that most of the primary suffixes are already registered.   Most people would opt, therefore, for a .biz or .info or .us suffix so they can retain the ‘baseballgloves’ base name.  You should, however, try adding article words like ‘my’ or ‘best’ to the keyword string one or more of which is not yet registered.  The prefixes are universally ignored by top search engines.   You can even try adding hyphens, etc. to the mix of keywords.

The next piece of key data is that top search engines give great credence to sites where the keyword is or is in the domain name.   This is a huge advantage over other sites that do not conform to that standard.  Finally, in this section of domain considerations is the Page name vis-à-vis the keyword.  You should therefore name a baseball cap website baseballcaps.net/baseballcaps.html.    This will produce higher ranking than if the other site also has the keyword in their domain name.   These little things can make a huge difference when it comes time to be ranked.  

When working with your website authoring package – whichever kind you choose – be sure to refresh or clean/reorganize your cache on your browser in order to display the latest version of your site after it has been uploaded.  You will also need to keep a closely maintained Windows System Registry.  You can purchase and download a top registry software package that does this.  They also perform the other registry fix functions that accomplish any needed Registry Repair.
