Content is King
If
you provide great content online users will make sure that they can find
your website. You can create a domain with hyphens, longer phrases and
words. You don’t want to use the 67 character maximum allowed for domain
names, but 15 plus characters is totally acceptable.
To
make your domain name memorable, it should be a short phrase that describes
your website, your products or your particular area of expertise. If you
provide reliable, accurate information, web users can use bookmarks or
type the phrase directly into a search engine to get back to your site.
This means that you will have to really focus on getting your domain name
listed on as many search engines and directories as possible.
The
other advantage to creating a domain name for an informational site is
that most surfers search by typing in phrases and entire sentences into
the search engines. A domain name that uses all of the words of a small
phrase or sentence will easily filter to the top of the listing and keep
your customers coming back.
Hot
tip: If you don’t trust the engines to help your customers find you on
a regular basis, make it easy for anyone to bookmark your site with a
reminder button on your home page.
