Businesses seeking to attract new customers via search engine optimization (SEO) need to select an appropriate domain name<\/a>, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

Writing for Search Engine Land, Chris Sherman said domain names are “a crucial element” for capturing clicks and conversions from search results.<\/p>\n

“If you have a credible, trusted domain name, you\u2019ve got an advantage, as searchers really do pay attention to the URL in search results before deciding to click,” he stated.<\/p>\n

“And this is true regardless of the position of the URL on a search result page.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Sherman commented that web users are demonstrating “a clear preference” for credibility and trustworthiness in a domain name – so a website’s Google ranking is less important than in the past.<\/p>\n

Even if search result rankings change due to factors like personalization or algorithmic tweaks, searchers don\u2019t seem to care, he added.<\/p>\n

According to The Best Spinner, businesses should still attempt to secure as high a search engine ranking as possible with their new website – which is easier if their domain name is keyword-rich.<\/p>\n

Where possible, organizations should attempt to include their main keyword phrase in the URL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
