Google And Your Domain Name
Many people overlook the importance of their domain name when trying to optimize their website for Google. With the amount of competition out there this may give you the edge.
Google, being the largest and most used search engine and is extremely important to optimize your website for. As a matter of fact, if you optimize your website just for Google you’d find your rankings in Yahoo! and MSN will jump up higher than your ranking in Google. I’ve optimized many websites that show up in at least the top 20 listings in Google and found that in each case they ranked higher in Yahoo! and MSN usually in the top 3 positions with most in the number one spots.
Most everyone agrees that with Google content is king. So writing good copy with just the right amount of keyword phrases, for keyword density is important. And natural anchor text links is second to the throne, which takes lots of work and proper timing to do properly.
Third in line are keyword phrases (notice I said phrase because single keywords are almost impossible to optimize for), which need to be researched to find the right phrase for you and not used to often in the content/text to get the right density. Used to often and you’ll hurt your ranking.
Fourth in line are the Meta Description Tag which when used properly can actually bring visitors to your website who wouldn’t normally come there. Of course there are several other factors involved with getting that elusive number one spot.
But what most everyone often overlooks is what I call the fifth element which Google uses to determine their ranking of a website and that's the domain name.
People, even SEO companies, don’t either know the importance of the domain name to Google or take the time to chose the proper name for the website. Most just use their company name or what they conceder a "Cool" name for their websites. Now, unless your company is well known or at least well known in its field, using a basically unknown company name is pointless. Even more pointless is the "Cool" name.
The entire reason you optimize your website is to get visitors from search engines, so why not use all the tools available to get the best ranking possible for your website.
Use your domain name as one of those tools. Instead of your company name or the "Cool" one, use a keyword phrase, one that describes your product or service. Take your time in choosing the proper name. Make sure that it will work best for your website. If you not sure ask your friends and relatives what keywords they would use to find your product or services on the Internet. You might be surprised at what they would use.
You have the keyword phrase that you know will work. But before you jump online and get that domain name there are a couple of things you may still need to do.
Let's say you're the owner of Mike's Bikes and you specialize in Colorado Mountain Bikes so you figure to kill two birds with one stone and use the domain name mikescoloradomountainbikes.com to keep your name in it along with using the keyword phrase. Now this might make sense to you but you’re not Google. You're not going to like it but you need to drop the mikes out of the name because it's dead weight.
So now you've got coloradomountainbikes.com but wait before you burn up the keyboard use Colorado-mountain-bikes.com instead. Why? Because Google sees this as three different words and would see coloradomountainbikes.com as a single word. When people are doing a search they will not be using coloradomountainbikes, they are going to use Colorado mountain bikes. The bonus is that your domain name now becomes a keyword phrase used by Google when it performs a search.

4 Quick and Easy Insider Tips To Turbo-Charge Your Google Adwords’ Sales
Uncover little-known Google Adwords strategies you can implement moments from now to boost your response. While most advertisers continue to waste their money, you're implementing techniques savvy advertisers are using to rake-in more sales and leads!
4 Quick and Easy Insider Tips To Turbo-Charge Your Google Adwords' Sales!
By Rod Beckwith and Jeff Alderson
If you want to boost your clickthrough rates and slash your advertising costs moments from now, then pay close attention.
Because you're about to uncover 4 surefire techniques to dominate your Adwords' listings… practically wiping-out your competition at the same time.
Best of all, they're quick and easy to apply.
Let's get started:
1. Experiment with dynamic headlines - Dynamic headlines replace your normal ad headline with what the searcher types in.
So, if the searcher types, “Furniture”, this appears in the headline.
And if the searcher types in a search phrase that can't fit, such as “Affordable quality furniture,” then it reverts back to your default headline.
.
Use it by inputting, “{KeyWord:Quality Furniture}” in the headline portion of your ad. “Quality Furniture” is your default headline.
Also, note that the “K” and “W” are capitalized in “KeyWord”. This means that the first letter in each search phrased is capitalized. For instance, “Fun Furniture,” instead of “Fun furniture” (if you had “Keyword”).
Dynamic headlines almost always significantly boost clickthrough rates. But, they also sometimes reduce the quality traffic you get.
You should experiment with dynamic headlines. If you find that an Ad Group is producing low-quality traffic, then you would toss the dynamic headline… and add a qualifier instead.
Some examples of a qualifier are to add a price to your ad, using the words “For serious customers only”, “buy now”, or to use words that call-out targeted customers to click on your ad.
Also, try adding words around the dynamic headline, such as, “Unique {Keyword:Furniture}”. This works best in Ad Groups with only a few keywords.
2. Test ad positions - because the highest one isn't always the best.
Keep in mind, the number 1 position usually produces the MOST traffic. However, it does not always produce the BEST quality traffic.
Instead, you can continually adjust your bids (based on several days data) to target lower positions instead. Depending on your market, you may target position three or four.
Remember, many bidders daily budgets cut off their campaigns near the end of the day. This means you get their top positions for a fraction of the cost!
3. How to use site selection correctly - The site selection option allows advertisers to place their ads on specific content sites.
It is a completely different animal than search traffic. And varies from normal content ads.
Because instead of paying per click, you're paying for impressions (or how many times your ad is seen). This can be a lifesaver for some businesses and a waste of money for others.
It depends on the market. Some markets produce terrible results with search traffic. But, are great for selected sites. Why?
Well, usually it's because a market is in its infancy. And your target market is NOT searching for what your have to offer.
Instead, the only way they can be reached is in their communities. You must go to them. These communities might be blogs, discussion forums, or news sites.
An example, might be a tool that creates video blogs.
Very few people are looking to do this. But, LOT'S of normal blog publishers may easily be convinced that this is something they need to be doing.
The bottom line is… if you get good results with search traffic, then you probably want to pay per click for your content advertising. The only exception is if you have a killer ad (that generates lots of clicks). Because it will be cheaper to pay for impressions.
4. Put your best performing text ad on your banner.
Most advertisers either stick only with text ads. Or they use ineffective banner ads. These are costly mistakes. The smart way to do it is to find a very effective text ad.
Then, put it on your banner ad. You will find that these normally out-perform your text ads. And will be your most profitable. Images may say a thousands words, but it's the right words that close more sales!
