The relevance of keywords cannot be under estimated in giving your business or domain a name. There is a lot of competition on Google, so domain names that contain relevant keywords will be easily found and will also rank in no time because people actually use a part of these keywords for search queries.
The first step in choosing a domain name is to do a keyword research using keyword tool on adword. There are also other keyword research softwares, but the most efficient is Google keyword tool on adwords. The next step is to add one of the popular keywords researched to your business name or domain name, then use this combination to search for available domain names on host providers.
Now let me share my experience on how a domain name affected my pagerank and business.
I started my internet business as a web designer 4 years ago with a funky name; VGLOBE. Then i knew a little about SEO, but did not know how it affects my business. I never got any business with this name because it was very search engine unfriendly. When i started SEO a year later, I realized my mistakes and then changed the business name to BUDGET WEB MARKETERS. In less than 2months of name change i got 2 clients. Why? Its simple; SEO + search engine friendly name= good results.
Same thing happened to one of my clients too. He noticed a big progress when he changed the name of his business and domain. He got found easily and by the time i did his SEO, he started getting loads of traffic to his website. This is the interesting part; SEO is made easier when a domain name is search engine friendly.
So when choosing a business name, it is advisable to contact seo experts or services for advice.
In summary;
- Avoid funky looking names
- Avoid personal interests in making a domain name choice
- Do keyword research using keyword tools
- Consult SEO experts for advice
