Get More Website Traffic with a Better Domain Name

With the right domain name you can get more website traffic. With the wrong domain name people may run away from your site rather than visit. Or bring in the wrong type of traffic.

Domain Names in Life
The Sick Puppies would not be a good domain name for a veterinary clinic. Personally if I moved to a new town and looked up vet clinics that is not one I would visit. The clients that might visit that kind of domain name… might be a sick puppies themselves.
However SickPuppies.net is the domain name for a band of the same name. Thus the domain name is their company name and requires building their name as a band and not puppies who are sick.
This band wrote a song for the Free Hugs Campaign at FreeHugsCampaign.org. This is an example of a domain using keywords and a name related to what they do. Yes, they give away free hugs. It’s a wonderful campaign.
There is a low cost spay and neuter clinic called Cause for Paws at CauseForPawsTexas.com. This domain name does not contain keywords related to what people look for in a low cost clinic. Yet if someone just came across the website domain name, they would probably guess it to be related to animals and a cause, of some sort, to help the animals.
So what does your domain name say about you?
Is your domain name a brand? Does your domain name contain related words? Does your domain name echo what you do? Just thoughts to consider in the domain name search.
