Choosing your domain name

You see every day, people all over the planet are searching for different things on the internet, and rather than trying to advertise your new, great sounding site name to them, just use what they are searching for the most.

If your site sold winter clothes and someone wants to buy fish food, do you think they will type “winterforeveryone.com” into their browser, no, they type winter clothes, so wouldn’t it make sense to have the domain name “winterclothes.com.

Having your main keywords in the domain name is also SE friendly and could deliver a better ranking for your website.

It would also be an idea to combine your unique name, for example “meho” and the word that is part of what your site offers. For example “mehoclothes.com”. That makes sense too.

My suggestion on how to pick a good domain name is the following:

nounnoun.com

uniquenamenouncom

verbkeyword.com

pronounnoun.com

nounpronoun.com

It also comes to domain extension, or commonly known as TLD. Probably the best idea is choosing a .com. If you’re not selling anything or your site is simply caritable, then it will be more user-friendly to use a .org. But I would recommend never using a .info or a .biz.

Either use a .com is your name is available, .org if you don’t sell anything, .countrycode if you are a local based company or you are the market leader for the certain niche of the site in your country, and use .net when your .com isn’t available :)

Blog SEO - Search Engine Optimization for Blogs

I have compiled a list of tips which really helped the ranking of my blog.

- Unique content. Search engines love unique content, especially when it is frequently updated. Unique content and updating your blog frequently will make your visitors and the se robots return again :).

- Permalinks. I recommend using this type of mod_rewrite. htt://yourdomain/category/post name. This is very SE friendly

- Outgoing links Have at least as possible outgoing links. This will give your site a maximal exposure for the robot that visits it.

- Ingoing links The anchor text of the ingoing links is very important. When submitting to a directory, instead of writing as title “My blog” write “Internet Marketing Blog” or “SEO Blog“. You will surely rank for “your blog”, but giving important keywords in the title can raise your se position for those keyphrases

- No sitewide links Do not put sitewide blogroll links. This will really hurt your site indexing, because the robot, instead of indexing your page will jump to the other one.

I hope this small tutorial will really improve the ranking of your blog.
