Choose
A Domain Name That Floods Traffic To Your
Website
Choosing a domain name is a very critical part of your website
marketing strategy. By choosing a domain name that targets the
specific keywords for your website you'll flood your website
with laser targeted traffic by enhancing click through
response. Pick a domain name that gives your prospects what
they most desperately desire.
By including the keywords in your domain name that are your
customers desires, including them in your marketing messages
and your website content you can't help but flood traffic to
your website! Wondering what your customer's desires are?
If so, you'll need to determine what your really selling.
Let's look at an example product here: home security alarm
system. Keep in mind few people know, nor do they care what the
heck the product looks like or the features of the product such
as size, color, weight, speed, or availability.
The only thing they have an interest in is the "results"
your product will achieve for them. It all boils down to
what's-in-it-for-me? Why would a prospect purchase a home alarm
system? What's-in-it-for-them? If you think for just a moment
you'll come up with the right answer. Yes, it's to protect
their jewelry or valuables while they are at work or when the
house is empty.
You must stop thinking of yourself or the features of your
product to determine what your customer's deepest desires are.
By turning your product or service features into "benefits" or
"results" you'll be able to hit their hot buttons and flood
traffic to your website in the process. The easiest way to turn
features into benefits is to list all the features of your
product or service on a piece of paper first. (a feature is a
characteristic of a thing: size, color, weight, speed,
availability)
Then one by one turn each feature into a benefit for your
customer. What's-in-it-for-me-- save money? youthfulness?
friends? security? money? power? luxury? prestige? thinner
body? obedient pet? The traffic driving potential of keyword
targeted domain names is awesome, provided that you research
your target market and satisfy their "true" needs, desires and
benefits.
Once you have established this system for marketing, you'll
be able to use your domain name to construct specific ad
campaigns targeted to specific markets even if your website
offers multiple products and services. To take it a step
further, you could formulate a domain name that works like a
headline for a classified ad.
When you break a headline down it should have several
different parts. It should fan the flames of desire with a hint
of information about solving a specific problem, satisfying a
need, providing a benefit, or invoking curiosity with a call to
action. Your domain name should contain as many of these
"headline characteristics" as possible.
Try and phrase the keywords into something relatively short,
catchy and easy to remember. Keep in mind
"what's-in-it-for-me?" as to "what your really selling". The
job of your domain name is to act like a headline to drive
targeted traffic to your website by "scratching the itch of
your customers." If you've found the right words to scratch
that itch, then ONLY YOU can put it to use in your domain
name.
You'll find that not only will you do better on your search
engine rankings you'll also attract a lot more attention with
your pay per click ads or any type of advertising you use.
