Freelance Writing Advice: How to Choose a Traffic-Generating Domain Name for Your Freelance Writing Website
April 27, 2010
The domain name for this freelance writing website was chosen long before I knew anything about internet marketing. It was the name of me and my sister’s company, so of course, we just registered the dot com version without ever giving thought to search engine optimization, which brings me to the topic of this post.
What’s In a Domain Name? More Traffic — and Clients!
Following these tips, you’ll make it easier to get found online by ranking higher in search engines. Read on to learn:
The tip I used to get a #1 Google ranking for a popular search phrase for one of my niche affiliate sites;
How to find relevant domain names – even when all the “good ones” are taken; and
When you may want to consider registering more than one domain name.
To make sure you get all the traffic and sales-generating help you can out of your domain name (which is the whole reason to get a website, right?), following is how I’d approach it if I had to do it all over again today.
