IS YOUR DOMAIN NAME BROKEN?
If your present domain name doesn't get you top placement in
directories, it's broken.
A second domain name pointing to your web site can give you
guaranteed top placement in Yahoo (with over 25% of all online
searches).
If you are just starting a web site, you can choose a domain
name that will get top directory placement and bring visitors to
your site.
Most online traffic is directed to web sites by search engines
and directories (over 50% by most estimates). Many sites get
more visitors from specialized directories related to the
subject matter of their site than from search engines. Visitors
coming from directories specializing in what you offer are much
more likely to be genuinely interested in your products or
services. That means qualified customers coming to your site.
When people input search words into the search engines and
directories, they produce lists of web sites (often thousands)
related to the search words. Unless you are at or near the top
of the list, it's very unlikely people will ever find your
listing. How do you get to the top of the list?
Here are some key strategies for getting your site placed at the
top of the list ahead of those thousands of sites in the search
results. Use these strategies to get major numbers of qualified
interested visitors to your site.
Top Directory Placement
To place high in directories you must learn to use the key
features of directories. All directories list alphabetically:
Yahoo lists alphabetically by domain name Yahoo puts a few web
sites at the top of the list that have the key search words in
the domain name Many directories list alphabetically by page
title
For guaranteed high placement in directories you need:
Domain name with alphabetical priority Domain name with high
scoring search words Page title with alphabetical priority
Alphabetical Priority
The key here is that numbers appear before letters and symbols
appear before numbers in alphabetical listings.
Domain Name - Your domain name cannot begin with a symbol, but
it can begin with a number. For example, "1st" gets high
alphabetical priority and suggests the best or the first. Some
names from our domain auction that use this principle are:
1stAirline.com 1stAutomobiles.com 1stHTML.com
1stPeopleSearches.com 1stPictures.com
"4Naming.com" and "4WebDesigning.com" are other examples from
our domain auction of domain names beginning with numbers.
Page Title - Getting priority with the title of your web page is
easy. Use a symbol or a number or both at the beginning of your
page title. For example:
#1 Source for ... (whatever products your site offers) 1,001
Ways to ... (whatever services your site offers)
Key Search Words
The words following the number in your domain name and page
title must be the key words related to your site subject used
the most in actual online searches. They should also attract
visitors to come to your site by telling what is available on
your site.
There are many great generic names available with high scoring
key words by placing numbers at the beginning of the names.
"Airline", "automobiles", "html", "people searches", and
"pictures" are all highly used search words.
You may want your company name to be your primary domain name
because people already know your name and can click to your
site. But, you can have any number of other domain names with
high alphabetical priority and high scoring generic search words
pointing to your site. To point additional domain names to your
site can cost as little as $1 to $5 a month depending on your
web host.
The cost of a second domain name and low monthly pointing cost
are certainly worth getting thousands of visitors. You can get
the qualified visitors who may not know your company name, but
who use generic search words to find products or services like
yours.
So, for guaranteed top placement in directories, like Yahoo with
over one fourth of all searches online:
Use a domain name beginning with a number Use a domain name
with high scoring search words Begin your page titles with a
symbol and/or number
Use these strategies and your site will be on top of the
directories, including Yahoo. You can get all of the qualified
visitors you want with the right domain name and page titles.
