Is it necessary to have Keywords in the domain name?

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Betrand

Categories: Domain-Names, SEO

There are some of the factors that can help people to come to a decision on suitable domain name and will be helpful for individuals who are confused about keyword based domain names and domains names without keywords. These will be useful to people who are getting registered for a new domain name and trying to find a name to compete with other names existing which are listed in top results of the search engines.

There are a couple of strategies that can help an individual which are given below:

The first method would be to choose domain names with branded words which can be easily remembered without having any keyword in the name.
The second method would be to choose domain names strictly using the keywords

There is always a conflict between the choices of domain names with keywords or branded domain names because of the misconception that it is impossible to see success if the domain names do not have keywords, however breaking this myth there are several domain names like zynga, facebook, twitter and others which have reached the heights of success without having any keywords in their domain names.

The advantage of branded domain names is that they can be easily recalled whenever needed and the benefit of keyword based domain names is that there is every possibility that there might be a similarity between the keyword in domain name and business names. The most important factor which plays significant role in the domain names is that it is entirely up to the interest of the domain owner to decide on domain names and also the goals they plan to achieve through their website.

One disadvantage of having keywords in domain names is that there is every possibility that there might be n number of domain names with same keywords, hence it might be suggested to go with unique branded domain names. There are often complaints from the domain names registrars that keywords in domain names are giving more priority than branded names which might at times be a cause of trouble for individuals who desire to have unique domain names.

Hence measures are being taken to modify the algorithm creating equilibrium between branded domain names and keywords based domain names, also making efforts to nullify the rule specifying that the domain names need to have keywords for sure.

Is article marketing suggestible as an SEO Strategy?

Posted on March 15, 2011 by Betrand

Categories: SEO

Tags: Article Marketing, SEO, SEO Strategy

The general method followed in article marketing is that a content writer will write an article with a link provided at the bottom of the article with the expectation that there are other people out there who will duplicate their original content of the article which will result in the flow of links to their website.

However, the first that has to be noticed when it comes to republishing these articles is that only the sites which are not of better quality will choose to do so. Even if there are some better sites opting to go with rewriting of the original content, the quality of rewritten article will be degraded since there will be a limit on the number of words to be used while writing the article. This restriction on the article content will force the duplicator to limit their innovativeness and only duplicate the existing content instead of writing the original content or even at times the anchor text might be copied.

When someone looks for best quality of the business for their website, they would prefer to go with unique content that has natural links and social media marketing rather than article marketing which includes the person to go in search of article banks which readily provide huge collection of articles which can be rewritten and used as per the choice of the person.

Considering the search engines choices and general public demands it might come into notice that people do not greatly choose to go with article marketing as one of the best SEO strategy.

Actually domain name will not be available public until 75 days after the expiry date. The status of the domain name changes to Expired happens when it is not renewed by the owner of it, it will be available for the owner to renew it for next 30 – 40 days depends on the registrar after the domain expiry, this is called grace period for the domain name, in this period the domain name will be in inactive state and the all the services of the domain like FTP, mails, website will not work and it can be renewed by the owner at the same renewal price.

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Betrand

It looks like world is going towards Mobile and Technology Giants like Google are started to follow it now. Google recently tweaked its bots crawling mechanism and User Interface for Mobile Phones search. Here is the sample look of a search results page on mobile search. Mobile search results are built for mobile devices and are different from “standard” desktop results.

Here in this article i will give some tips to improve your website ranking in Google Mobile Search results and information on how to add your website into Google Mobile search results.

First step is to check whether your website is appearing in the Google Mobile search results or not, if your website doesn’t show up even if you check it by typing site:www.yourwebsitename.com in search option. Here are some of the reasons why your website isn’t got indexed by Google Mobile bots.

Google Mobile bot may not be able to find your website: Your website must be able to be crawled by Googlebots for indexing and including it into search results. If you just built a website, it doesn’t mean that your website will be indexed properly by Goolge Mobile and web robots. If you have Mobile based business or you want to target mobile users as well, create a Mobile Sitemap and submit to Google using webmaster tools. more information on creating Mobile Sitemap is available here or mail to info@ibeesolutions.com for assistance.
Some Mobile Sites built only for Mobile Phones which will restrict access to all other media other than Mobile Phones, for those kind of sites which needs restrictive access but want to appear in Google Mobile Search Results here is the option, you can allow Google Mobile site crawler bot “Googlebot-Mobile” manually, however doing it manually is risky because Google may change its bot name anytime. Here is the exact code to add
SetEnvIf User-Agent "Googlebot-Mobile" allow_ua
You need to check whether Google bot can recognize your mobile site URLs or not. It doesn’t mean that your website pages indexed in web results are to be indexed in Mobile results also, Google won’t include the pages that are viewable on Mobile Phones. It is very simple to resolve this if you follow some of the guidelines while building your mobile site. Below is the code you need to insert into your Mobile site on top of its pages.

If you have different versions of website for both mobile and web, here is the most common problem for site admins who run both mobile and web versions of a site is that the mobile version of the site appears for users on a desktop computer Google search results, or that the desktop version of the site appears when someone accesses it on a mobile device. To avoid this here are the two options available:

Redirect Mobile user to an appropriate version, identify the user/crawler and redirect them to the mobile version of the same page.
Identify the user-agent and switch the content based on the agent, if you can’t configure this properly you site may be blacklisted by Google as possible Cloaking website.

How to choose right domain name for your business?

Posted on January 31, 2011 by Betrand

Categories: Domain-Names

Tags: domain name, domain registration, Domain-Names, domian, domian name

In this article we discuss about the factors you need to consider before choosing any domain name for your business. Many people don’t consider thinking about choosing a domain name before they register a domain name due to lack of knowledge about the how domain names extensions are classified and their uses. Most of the people still think that a .com domain name have more value than any other extension but is that true? No, it is not true, Google and other search engines now started giving priority for local search results.

Here is how some of the extensions are classified as:

.com :- For business and commercial purposes
.net :- For Internet / networking / infrastructure companies
.org :- For Charity/ Not for profit kind of organizations
.in/.co.uk/.us :- For representing local business

Things to consider:

It is better if you go with a domain name that resembles your business or something that is similar or reflects to your product or services along with identity of your company name.
Make sure it is easy to remember and understand to the people where you are doing the business
Choose a .com extension if you have real global business or .in/.co.uk if you have a local business and most of your visitors are from that particular region.
Sometimes using numbers in the domain name will be better, for example go2india.com is more memorable than gotoindia.com
If .com domain is available, better register gTLDs of that domain name as well to ensure high rankings in local search results.
You can register a domain name for one to ten years period

Any website can acquire route more traffic by combing PHP script with MYSQL which are outstanding combination of languages with perfect synchronization.
