How to Choose the Best Domain Name Print

  • 0

  1. Choose a short, easily pronounceable domain name that clearly describes your brand or services without using complicated symbols, hyphens and numbers.
  2. If your domain name is not available in .com, use a fitting alternative top-level domain such as .com.ng or .net or .online or try out a localized TLD such as .ng . For more TLDs check here.
  3. Using keywords in your domain name is a Google ranking factor but tread lightly, Google recognizes keyword stuffing and penalizes sites with domain names that are keyword heavy.
  4. Avoid simple mistakes by checking if your chosen name isn’t already in use by another company, or copyrighted, and make sure it can’t be misinterpreted as something vulgar.
