BYTE #2 : Domain name Myths

Myth #1:

It is widely believed that one needs to buy a domain name only if they own or need a website

Domain names can be used for a variety of other purposes. A domain name can be bought even without having a website. It is used to create professional email addresses like ‘sales@yourdomainame.extension’. Secondly, it is not necessary to link the domain name to your own website. It can be linked to your facebook page, twitter account or any other landing pages.

Myth #2:

Domain names with keywords are ranked higher

Keywords in the domain name have little importance for SEO ranking. However, keywords in the domain name can increase the click-through rates, brand potential and recognition in the search engine page results.

Myth #3:

A separate domain is required for each target market

There is no need to create separate TDLs for each target market. The landing pages under a single website can be used for geo-targeting. It only depends on the country codes on the landing page, the language of content and the back-links.
