Search Engine Optimization Chicago

Domain Name

by admin on Dec.20, 2009, under Internet Marketing, SEO Marketing, Search Engines

We all know that the search engines take many things into consideration when calculating where your website should appear in their list of results.  One of the first things that they look at is your domain name and your url’s.

That is why it is important to start out with the best domain possible.  If you are optimizing your main, core website, you may have no choice of changing your domain, however if you are considering starting a blog or want to create another website to target very specific people doing very specific searches then it is importnat to start out with the best domain name that would assist in targeting those consumers.

When we are researching domains for a client we base our search on actual searches that are being done by consumers.  We can even see the volume of these searches.  This is very effective.

When creating a blog, for example there are bascially 3 different ways to do this.

  1. Create your blog on a free service site like blogspot.  You get a url like this.. http://yoursubject.blogspot.com

  2. Create your blog in a sub domain on your main website.  You get a url like this.. http://yourdomain.com/ourblog

  3. Create your blog on a separate very specific domain.  You get a url like this.. http://yoursubject.com

Websites and blogs perform better with search engines when they are very specific.  Specificity and relevance are the  two areas to keep in mind when creating a web page, website or blog.

    InterestingI had considered the evidently simple ways a search engine like Google works. The truth of the affair is that even though Search Engines indexes your page numerous times, it takes a metric tonne of work on your part to get your site to become “relevent” to the spiders. I guess this will add to my understanding of search engines!
