These days, the most challenging part of building a website is selecting a good domain name (www.yourdomain.com).
First off all you need to decide if you want a Brand domainname or a Keyword Rich domainname.
A Brand domain can stand on its own and will take some more time to build to get rankings in Google. It should be easy to remember and also easy to type, like www.alledia.com ann www.mulmoon.com.
A keyword rich domain is like this one, it has some keywords in it to target a special visitor group and is easier to rank for those keywords.
Nearly all the “good” domain names are registered and in use. A great tool to help you find available domain names is domai.nr
Domai.nr helps you explore the entire domain name space beyond the overcrowded .com, .net and .org. Simply enter a combination of words or phrases, and Domainr will show you available domain names, spelling variations, and even alternate suffixes (such as .us, .me, .biz, .jobs, .es or .ng) for your domain.
Whenever possible try to get a .com or .org domain, people still use these for direct use and searches.
If the domain name you want is taken, consider domain names with dashes in them (like www.houston-logo-designer.com). Not only will your domain have aesthetic appeal and be more legible, domain names with dashes sometimes rank a bit higher in the search engines.
Another popular strategy is to use a slogan in place of the company name, for example: www.maximize-your-time.com.
Lastly — and perhaps most importantly — keep your audience in mind. Ask yourself, “What search terms will my readers enter into Google to find my site?”
If your domain name contains those keywords or phrases, you’ll rank better in search engine results.
