How to Choose a Domain Name for your Website

We cannot overemphasize the need to choose the right domain name for your website. But if you think that a resourceful website and business will naturally generate traffic, you may not be far from the truth. But my take on it is that it will take a lot of hard work.

Without missing words, your domain name is an important part of our website. You cannot undermine its importance. As such, it is important you diligently choose a domain name for your website.

Let us two reasons why you must spend time selecting an appropriate domain name, after which we begin to see how to select a domain name.

  1. For SEO purposes: I know you may be wondering or asking if domain name still plays a role in search engine optimization. Having your domain name matching exactly with keywords is not necessary any longer. But the keyword in your domain can still contribute to your overall SEO, and you won’t want to leave any stone unturned.
  2. First Impression Matters: Your domain is like a title or should I say a header for your website. It is the number one point of contact with your work. Having a properly structured domain will create a good impression on your visitors.

I will surely adhere to your suggestions when I start my second website. This is very helpful. The first attempt is not always perfect. I will surely straighten the wrinkles next time. Thanks for the insight.

Yes

You are very correct, if you look at my conversation with kingsschido below. I shared how I was asking Kyle if I could use a poultry site for MMO.

Many of us make mistakes in our first attempt but as we continue we all get better.

Thank you kings,

Issues like choosing a name for your website are foundational issues newbies struggle with. I can remember asking Kyle if I could use a blog I created for poultry farming for MMO.

Thinking of it now, I just laugh.

My heart was on newbies at the point of creating this training, I believe it will stand as a reminder for experience hands considering starting a new website
