One of the most important factors in a well respected and highly visible website is your domain name.  A domain name is the name of your website, example: www.searchengineoptimization-ny.com is a domain name.

Let’s take Shakespeare’s infamous rose for example.  If I had a website dedicated to information about roses and I named my website “Briansfavoriteflowers.com”,  I will have to work much harder to let search engines know that my website is all about Roses!  On the other hand, if I were to pick a domain name like “FreshRoses.com”, it’s now quite clear to search engines that anyone searching for ‘Information About Fresh Roses” should visit my site.  My domain name (www.freshroses.com) matches two of the search words being requested. 

Pick a domain name that includes the keyword or keywords that you most want to target on search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Search engines commonly factor embedded domain name text into their ranking formulas, assigning greater weight to relevant websites based on keyword-specific URLs.

A good choice can boost your search engine rankings, increase traffic and make your business more memorable.

This strategy has worked well for our clients who have microsites.  One of our microsites, www.infinitiwarranty.net is a .NET domain and is #2 in the USA for “Infiniti Warranty” search phrases in Google.   This demonstrates how exact match domain names can be very effective in attracting qualified consumer leads.
