Domain Name Purchasing

If you are considering purchasing a domain name to use for a website I have some advice for you.

After purchasing both new and existing websites and getting them to rank in the search engines I have found these two things to be very true.

Having the Keywords you want to rank for in the domain name gives you a big advantage in ranking higher in the search engines.

The older the domain name, the more authority the search engines give it, so that means you will rank higher.  If you are going to purchase a domain name, I recommend that you buy an existing one that is about to expire (Costs only $5, ask me how if you need help).  If you buy one that way you can retain the age of the domain and get a leg up on the competition.  About 40k sites expire everyday and there is a good chance that you will find something with your name or keyword in it.

That’s it for today.
