Choosing a domain name is very important specially for SEO purposes, if you are ready to buy your own domain name and your own paid hosting account then there are many factors you have to consider. Analyze the Web site you are going to put up, what’s it all about? Will it be a blog, will you be selling products, services? Who are your targeted audience? Don’t choose a domain name just because it sounds good or because it’s something you’ve always dreamed to have but the name is entirely irrelevant to the Web site you are putting up. Most articles published in the Web advise and recommend to choose a domain name where it contains your business name or major keywords describing your Web site. By doing this, you help search engines identify your Web site easily and will avoid the risk that they might think you are spamming. Another point to consider is to choose a domain name that can easily remembered by internet users, something that will make them recall what your Web site is all about.

What if the domain name I want is already taken?

Okay, you’ve done your best to coin the best possible combinations of keywords in choosing your domain name but all of them have been taken and some of them are for sale expensively. Don’t be disappointed, now this is the time for you to find another domain name (of course there are always exceptions) and this will give you a reason not to follow the advise stated earlier. Although it’s not a crime to choose a domain name describing entirely different from your Web site, but you have to put a lot of effort to associate it with what your Web site is all about. A typical example is eBay, even if your new in the internet, one thing comes into your mind when you hear that site, it’s a place where you can do buy-and-sell stuff. Amazon.com is another great example, the first thing it will come to your mind is an online store. This process is called branding, your domain name is branded to what your business or Web site is all about, it will take time to do this but with effort and promotion soon your site will be well known by its name, just AVOID to choose a domain name that will be misleading as much as possible.

Why anyone-can-earn.com?

When I bought the domain name of this site, I was planning to put up a blog giving articles, suggestions, tips and advises to earn money online, thus anyone-can-earn.com was born. But soon I realized that in order to earn online, promotion and SEO is very important. I have no solid knowledge about SEO, but I did my best to find the knowledge I need in the internet, Google provided most of my needed reference. So I diverted my major aim in sharing what I learned and what I am learning now about SEO while still providing articles about niche and earning stuff. Learning SEO and promoting our Web site is necessary to earn, we need customers, we need readers, we need visitors and we need people in general that will benefit from what we have to share. Earning online is not an easy task, it takes time and commitment.
