Buying And Registering A Domain Name For Your New Website Or Blog

What Is A Domain?

A domain is a website address like britster.co.uk or even google.com.
It’s what distinguishes your website from others just as your home
address does from your next door neighbour’s, but you get to choose it.
Your domain can reflect what your website or blog is about, be a vanity
domain as mine is, be the name of your company, or a brand that you are
building like Google or Yahoo.

Choosing Your Domain

If you are niche marketing then it is better for search engine
optimisation if your domain reflects what your website is about, for
instance like my toptoysite.co.uk blog.  A large amount of the search terms used by visitors to find the blog are ‘top toys’.


By picking the domain toptoysite.co.uk
and using ‘top toys’ in the title I helped to make it easier for the
blog to be found in the search engines. I could have done the same by
using a different domain and adding ‘top toys’ as a category or an
article but it wouldn’t have been so easy to get the site ranking for
those particular search terms.
