Choosing The Correct Domain Name
Domains And Direction
Using the correct domain is extremely important, without an easy to remember yet relevant domain you’ve already set your website back when this can be easily prevented there is no reason why you should make this mistake.
What Is A Relevant Domain?
Keywords in your domain will add to your search engine positioning, the high the better so the more relveant keywords you add to your domain then the better it will rank for those specific keywords. Going on the previous example of Birdwatching, i would search for Birdwatching keywords using a tool such as the Google Keyword tool that helps you identify important keywords.
Taking the top 20 results interms of ’searches per month’ from the google search engine we determind the following keywords to be relative.
bird watching
bird watching magazine
bird watching binoculars
bird watching tours
bird watching equipment
bird watching guide
bird watching holidays
binoculars for bird watching
bird watching book
bird watching tour
bird watching clubs
backyard bird watching
bird watching supplies
bird watching books
bird watching trips
bird watching club
bird watching in lion country
bird watching vacation

bird watching uk
While the results above provide some rather amazing results not only in keyword research for your domain name - I would use the keywords bird watching in your domain name (birdwatchingvideos.com / Birdwatchingtube.com ect…) the results also suggest 18 amazing products to promote upon your website, from magazines to birdwatching binoculars and then onto actual Bird Watching tours. This niche is proving to be rewarding already - remember to use the market research explained above to discover additional niches.
Registering Your Domain Name
Buy a .com domain name where possible if not settle for a .net / .org - avoid .info’s at this stage, although there cheap they are intended for informational websites only. You can order your domain of choice through Godaddy.com - we use this company for all our domain hosting and it’s proven to be an amazing service with great prices.

Important Notes
Research, research some more then once again. Be prepared to drop an idea if you find it won’t be profitable many people go after their passion whether it’s skateboarding or stamp collecting if there is no confirmed research to backup it’s profability then you are not going to have any success. I used Skateboarding and Stamp collecting as examples i have done no research so cannot confirm if they will prove to be successful or unsuccessful for a video website.
