What is a Domain Name, What is a URL, What is a Keyword?

If you are just getting started online or in the Internet Marketing world and don't know all the terminology don't sweat it, I was the same way as well as many others, but within time and effort (it does take time) you learn these things as you go on.

First let me try to help by reminding you and others that the Search Box at the top of every page here at WA is VERY helpful in finding answers. I use it ALL THE TIME. lol.

If you can't find your answer there, then yes always ask a question.

A Domain name can also be a URL. For example, here at Wealthy Affiliate Kyle and Carson domain name is WealthyAffiliate.com.

That is also a keyword actually. A keyword is what most all of us use to search a subject on the internet by using a search engine like Google. So for example, if someone wants to learn more about how to ride a horse safely that is usually what they would type in the Google or Yahoo search engine is "How to ride a horse safely"

Sometimes a domain name will not actually be a keyword but sometimes it is a good idea to consider using a keyword for your domain name as long as it is not to long and hard to remember. A lot of thought and research should go into choosing a name for your website (a domain name)

Also remember that your website name is usually the same as your domain name or URL. Being a little technical, a URL is the full website address (or a page on a website) that appears when you arrive at the site or for any page for that matter up in the browser window.

Here is a pic of what a URL is.


Below is an example of a URL. It is a link you can click of a training here at WA from Ty Johnson
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/finding-and-buying-a-domain-name

You can click on this and it will take you to a training article here at WA that might help you learn more about domain names and how to go about choosing one.

Again, there is A LOT of information here at WA to process. Don't get overwhelmed and take small bites at a time and within time, and it does take a lot of our time, you will look back and laugh at the things you thought you could never do but are doing now.


Together one step at a time,

Randy
