Why should I buy a premium domain name?
Premium domain names are domains that have already been registered, but are for sale by the
current registrants. Premium domains are usually more expensive but
they are of great value due to the following factors:
- Easy to remember. They are shorter and
catchier domains that are easier to remember which makes it easy
for visitors to find and return to your website.
- Improved Search Engine Ranking. Domain
names that consist of keywords are far more likely to gain top
positions on search engines for those keywords. Do a few searches
on Google and you’ll find that most of the top positions are
websites with domains that consist of the keywords searched for.
Therefore generic keyword domains have a great advantage over non-generic keyword domains.
- Better Branding. Short generic keyword
domains give an image of prestige and credibility. Many companies
purchase these domains to compliment their brands. Users are more
likely to place an order or use a service of a company with a
domain name like Mortgage.co.za for example, rather than
EasyMortgage4U.co.za.
- Generate More Traffic. So many internet
users are searching for a keyword and adding the .co.za at the
end. Therefore so many generic keyword domains receive thousands
of visitors who search that way or typing the keyword domain
directly in the browser. The user still finds exactly what he/she
is looking for because the website is 100% relevant to what they
searched for.
- It is an investment. A premium domain is
a great asset to invest in. The South African internet market is
still very small. The value of premium domains is constantly
rising. Smart investors see this opportunity and know that they
will be able to sell these domains for a great profit.
How do I choose a great domain name to buy?
When choosing a domain name for your website it is important to consider the following:
- Geographical Area. You must determine
who your target audience is. If you are targeting the South
African market it is wise to have a domain with a .co.za
extension. Having a .com extension when you’re targeting the South
African market will create confusion to your potential clients.
New visitors of a website always check the extension and by that
know they are able to make use of your service or product. If
you’re targeting the international market then having a .com
extension is very important.
- The importance of keywords. If you are
relying on search engines to send targeted traffic to your
website, then having a keyword domain is very important. So many
websites are striving for the top positions on search engines. Having
a keyword driven domain will give you a major advantage.
- Commercial or informational. If you are
selling a product or providing a service at a cost then having a
.co.za is important. If you have more of an informational website
then having a .org.za or .info site will be advisable.
- Risk of traffic diversion. Make sure
your website doesn’t loose visitors due to mistyping. Therefore it
is important that your domain name is correctly spelled. Also
avoid hyphens, numbers, misspellings and exotic extensions. Users
will try to return to your website and are likely to find someone
else’s website who has the correct spelled domain. Domains e.g.
shoes4U.co.za or cheapdomainz.co.za should be avoid.
- Domain Length. Shorter domains are
easier to remember and also reduce the risk of user misspellings.
An example will be where CampingGear.co.za is better than
CampingGearEssentials.co.za.
Now you know what to look for in a domain name. Your next steps are:
