Domain Names and Google Search Engine Ranking


In order for your Web site to rank high in Google, it is useful to use key-words that identify your company's products and services.

It is known that Google gives a higher ranking to websites where a search key-word (a word or combination of words searched in Google) is part of the domain name:

For example, if you type the keywords 'Rome Hotels' in Google, as you would do when searching for this type of service, you will find that the highest ranking website has the relevant key-words in its domain name:

What this means to you is that when choosing your domain names(s) (note:You can have more than one domain name pointing at your website), you should ...

1.Include (if possible) the most important key-words that best describe your business, or product range in the domain name.

2.Try to use secondary domain names to point to pecific pages within your website.

3. Secure your domain name in different extensions (example: .com as well as.co.nz or .net.nz)

4. Consider a third or fourth level domain name such as www.rome.hotelreservations.com to point to specific pages of your website (call us now to get your 4th level domain name FREE 800 366 2469) or click here for more information.

Important note: Google's SafeSearch feature is created to filter out links to websites with adult content, and therefore block any sites that contain even a string of letters corresponding to adult key-words, this could result in a website containing the word Essex being ranked lower because of the string of letters contained within the domain name.

For example Google SafeSearch marked as unsafe for children the website PartsExpress.com which is an audio, video, and speaker components site as well as JewishSussex.com etc.

As SafeSearch can be enabled or disabled through a preferences page which means that only certain users will find that these type of 'screening' is applied to their searches.
