SEO – optimize your domain name (url)

When choicing your domain name of your website you have to think twice before choicing it.

First is what is the objectif of the site ? I mean will you base all on SEO or only “communication”. Do you want it to be found or not

All joke aside, this is really important for example:
- You launch a online game for 3 weeks and all the communication is based on off line ads and also viral marketing … then the domain name should really be the same as the name of your game.
- If you want to create a site for online sales of e.g. sunglasses and your main source of visitor has to be surfer then you need to think carefully at your domain name.

What do i mean by think carefull at your domaine name:
- it should be in the language people will use to find you
- it should include the 1 or 2 main keywords people will use to search what you sell (not you but what you sell !! (i repeat), if your company name is “Ghuim” and you sell sunglasses people will never type “ghuim” but sunglasses)
- if you use 2 words use “-” between them, then Google will take the 2 words in account more deeply, Like i told you I work a www.siemenselectromenager.be et we should have token www.siemens-electromenager.be
- do you 2 domaine name this will not help you (see futur post on this topic), I mean one with the best words and one with a shorter for communication.

Google Analytics dominates the top 500 websites

Hi,

I have read this article :

Google Analytics dominates the top 500 websites

And I take the opportunity to tell you what i think of this Tools –> EASY you have to use it.

Again this Analytic tool from Google is one of the best tool for webstatitics and it’s free (depending of the volume of course, but if you use Google Adwords then it’s stays free).

You can do whatever you want with it and it’s really user friendly (again you need a Google Account)

Some extract: “Google Analytics has only been available for about two years, but is already used by one third of the top 500 websites in the world.

We here at Pingdom use Google Analytics ourselves and were curious to see how many of the top web properties out there use it. We put the Alexa global top 500 websites under the microscope and found that 161 out of these 500 websites are using Google Analytics, which is 32.2%.”
