How does Google Possum Algorithm change search results

Tags : Google Algorithm Google algorithm update Google Possum update

Here are the changes the search engine giant has incurred through its Possum update:

Ranking Advantage For Businesses Beyond The City Limits

Previously, it was a major pain for businesses located outside the city limits to appear in the Local Pack Search Results. A lot of local establishments with their services within major cities and the brick and mortar locations outside the perimeters found it enormously tough to get listings in local searches. In spite of putting all their efforts in getting highly optimized accounts, they were stuck in ‘ranking purgatory’.

Possum has fixed the issue by making the geographical proximity of a business a less important factor to get top ranking. Now, a business that is not within the physical limit of a city but close to it can experience a huge spike in ranking as the algorithm has been running a proximity test prior to preparing the listing.

Filter Enhancement Based On Address And Affiliation

In local search, there are tons of businesses with multiple listings, which lead to the appearance of the same listing repeatedly in search results. Till the Possum update, Google used to detect such duplicate listings based on the phone numbers provided by the businesses or their domain names.

Now, Google has enhanced its local filters by adding two new dimensions – ‘address’ and ‘affiliation’ to them. It essentially means, if the physical addresses of multiple listings in the same category are similar, only the ‘best’ and the ‘most relevant’ one will be shown in search results whereas others will be filtered out.

However, Possum is not penalizing the other listings. Rather, it is simply working as an organic search algorithm to push other listings down lower in the SERPs and ensure a better user experience.

Listings Made Sensitive To The Locations Of Searchers

The geographical locations of the searchers were never so crucial for ranking in local search results before the launch of Possum. Earlier, it was only the keywords or the search terms which influenced search results heavily, but now, as the latest algorithm has changed, the physical location of the searcher matters the most.

Google has decided to offer an outstanding search experience to the mobile community with the help of this location-sensitivity. It is now using IP addresses of the searchers to provide tailored search results and hence, it has become of utmost importance to set the right location in order to trigger the most accurate listings.

Search Results Affected By Slight Keyword Variations

In the past, two different searches with almost similar terms used to yield same results in local searches. The scenario has changed these days as Google has turned finicky about even the slightest variations in search terms with Possum.

As the local listings have become extremely sensitive to keyword changes, the results are also varying widely for two slightly different search terms. So, make sure that you test and evaluate your Local SEO efforts by using multiple iterations of a particular key phrase and pick the one with the maximum search volume.

Local Search Filter Precedence Over Organic Search Filter

Before the arrival of Possum, Google’s local search filter was dependent on its organic search filter. As a result, a lot of businesses, linked to certain websites which are filtered out from the organic results, were listed out from local search results.

The change in algorithm has separated local search filter from the organic search filter in order to facilitate its independent functionalities. Hence, businesses with poor listings in SERPs can now achieve good rankings in local search results.

What can you do when Google Fred Penalty hits your website

Tags : Google algorithm update Google Fred Algorithm Google Fred Penalty

Category : Seo Consulting

As we’ve seen, Google won’t tell you exactly what’s in the Fred algorithm. That’s why some SEO professionals had to make some inferences.

However, Gary Illyes did offer an important piece of advice about how to avoid getting hit with a Fred penalty.

This past April, at the AMA session during the SMX West conference, Illyes said that the answer to Fred is in the webmaster quality guidelines.

So here’s what you can do to stay in the good graces of Google:

Provide high-quality content – In your content marketing efforts, make sure that your articles are top-notch. If you have to, hire a professional writer to give you the best quality. Also, strive for longform content as that tends to cover subjects more exhaustively.

The Ultimate Guide to 10x Content - Avg Content Length- Google Fred Penalty

Google Fred Penalty

Avoid “forced” backlinks – If you’re in the habit of buying backlinks from people who own their own private blog networks (PBNs), stop that practice immediately. Even “honest” guest-posting can get you into trouble if you’re forcing unnatural backlinks from low-quality sites. Instead, strive to produce quality content (see above) and let Google’s algorithm push it to the top of the SERPs.
Avoid excessive ads – The Fred update also hit sites with an abundance of ads. Although it’s unclear how many ads is “too many” for Fred, you can use common sense. If you think people will find your site annoying because it has a couple of pop-ups, a video ad in the corner, ads in the middle of the content, and banner ads all over the page, you can be fairly certain that you have “too many” ads.

Avoid creating pages with too many ads or you will be penalized by Fred - Google Fred Penalty

If some of your content lost rank because of Fred, you might not be able to fully recover it. However, going forward, you can make sure that your future content ranks well. Do that by producing quality articles, avoiding backlink spam, and showing only a few ads on your site.

In addition, make sure your website is focused and does not try to cover general topics.

How to protect website from Google Fred Algorithm

Tags : Google Algorithm Google algorithm update Google Fred Algorithm

Category : Seo Consulting

Did you notice a substantial drop in organic traffic on your site? If so, what can you do to recover from Fred, and how do you protect yourself from future content, back-link, and advertising display algorithm updates? Following are five solutions that will have positive impacts on your website’s SEO.

Create More Engaging Content:

When creating new content, make sure it’s relevant and of the highest quality. Don’t skimp on resources for quality; hire only the best content producers, especially those completing the copy-writing.

The writing should be written for humans, not search engines. Google’s algorithms get smarter and smarter everyday, and the latest Fred update is just a continuation of Google’s path to having nothing but valuable content across the web, which includes good writing flow, spelling, and grammar.

Above all, content should be free of grammatical errors, fact checked, and also educate and entertain your readers. Remembering to chunk content into smaller sections with sub-titles (H tags for you SEOs), and stray far from “black hat” SEO techniques like keyword stuffing, as has been the norm for many years now, but we will continue to issue warnings here until we see compliance. Resistance is futile.

There also used to be a case for shorter content due to modern attention spans while online, but based on studies like the Searchmetrics’ Ranking Factors & Rank Correlations (searchmetrics.com), Google rewards websites with longer-form content. The days of 300-word blog posts are gone for those who want success.

Update Outdated Content:

Most of the websites affected by the Fred update had outdated content that caused some concern for irrelevancy–something Google obviously frowns against.

Update your content, paying close attention to any content that’s not worth any value, such as products no longer available or events that have passed. Along the way optimize each piece of content with updated targeted keywords and call to actions. Make sure all of your lead forms are concurrent with the latest versions, and any outbound links are not directing clicks to dead webpages.

If you must delete content–like a page about a temporary sales page or past job postings–don’t simply hit the delete button or unpublish it. The best SEO practice is to redirect it to another page through what SEOs call a 301 redirect. Point old product pages to the newest product, or old job postings to your careers page.

Check those Back-links:

Back-links are simply other websites that have linked to a page or post on your website for a reference. The problem is some of those websites linking back to you are of poor quality, or even worse, unknowingly display porn or other unwaned links deployed by malware or blackhat spammers. This is where it’s imperative to have an SEO perform some back-link analysis and resolve any bad back-links. We suggest using webmaster tools (search console) first, but also use third party tools such as MOZ tools to identify and formally disavow bad links.

Less Intrusive Advertising and Affiliates:

From our studies, the Google Fred algorithm update had the largest impact on content-heavy websites. Many of these types of websites, such as a news blog or product review platform, create income through advertising and affiliate marketing.

The problem is some of these ads–you know, those annoying pop ups that are impossible to click off without losing the page you’re viewing–are too intrusive. The same goes for some affiliate ads such as the ones within the text you are reading.

The Fred algorithm penalized those sites with the most intrusive ads, which take away from user experience. Again, user experience is the main focus for Google, and always will be.

Smart tips to recover website from Fred Algorithm update

Tags : Google algorithm update Google Fred Algorithm

Category : Talk To Our SEO Experts

As Google has not released any official statement regarding this update and given a hint to the types of links this update will be targeting, there are certain steps you can follow if the rankings have been hit from the update.

It is imperative you have built a natural anchor text cloud including – business and generic keywords, naked URLs, and brand name.
You must have seen a number of sites ranking with site wide-do follow links, but make sure you are cautious of such link profile. It has a risk of going down anytime.
Make sure that the backlink is related to the context.
Avoid using automated tools or bots in order to create backlinks for example – mass blog commenting bots
Always remember that the quality of the links has more relevance than the total number of the links.
If a link can be claimed easily by everyone, then the chances are high that it has less value.
Make sure you have avoided paid links, link pyramids, and link exchange.
You can use affiliate links but make sure they should not be the sole motive of the page. Make sure affiliate links are only added when they are according to your content and avoid overdoing them.
The focus should be on the users instead of stuffing keywords strategies.
Inclusion of various other content forms such as gifs and videos should be encouraged.
Just because you have a chance to claim a particular link, it does mean that you have to go for it. Almost every website is after such links and moreover the search engines don’t value these links. Instead, you should go for the high-quality links.

Here are some important bullets to consider:

Perform a crawl analysis of your site and audit heavily through the lens of Google’s core ranking updates focused on quality.
Identify major problems (including UX, content, and aggressive advertising), and fix them as quickly as you can. But don’t rush the changes… make sure they are implemented flawlessly. Don’t inject more problems onto your site.
Read the Quality Rater Guidelines (QRG) thoroughly – and then read it again. Like I’ve said many times, it’s packed with amazing information directly from Google detailing what should be rated low and high quality. I’ve seen a serious connection between what I’m seeing in the field and what’s contained in the QRG.
Don’t put band-aids on the situation. Fix as many of the problems as you can. Band-aids will keep you in the gray area of Google’s quality algorithms and you might not see much upward movement during subsequent updates.
Work hard on publishing killer content over the long-term, building links naturally, building your brand, and improving user engagement. Again, Google needs to see significant improvement over the long term, not just over a few weeks.
Periodically audit your site through the lens of “quality”. Don’t make changes and never revisit the situation. That’s how problems creep in. And when enough problems creep in, sites can get hammered. Don’t let that happen.
You’ll need to wait for the next major core ranking update focused on quality in order to see movement. There’s not a set timeframe for those updates to roll out, although the past few have been almost exactly one month apart (1/6, 2/7, 3/7, and then 4/4). Google needs to refresh its quality algorithms, and when it does, you have a chance of recovering (or at least starting to recover). Keep your head down, work hard, and keep enhancing quality. If you do, you absolutely can recover. Don’t give up.

How does Google Fred Algorithm affect on your website?

Tags : Google Algorithm Google algorithm update Google Fred Algorithm

Category : SEO News

After Fred rolled out, it was clear that it was a significant core ranking update tied to quality. If you’ve read my previous posts about Google’s major core ranking updates, you will see many mentions of aggressive monetization, advertising overload, etc. Well, Fred seemed to pump up the volume when it comes to aggressive monetization. Many sites that were aggressively monetizing content at the expense of users got hit hard.

With that quick intro out of the way, let’s hop into specific examples of impact from Fred update

Example1 – Getting smoked.
A major hit based on UX Barriers, aggressive monetization, and low quality user experience.
The first two examples detailed a major surge and then a site dealing with the gray area of Google’s quality algorithms. Now it’s time to enter the dark side of Fred. There are many sites that got hammered by the 3/7 update, with some losing over 50% of their Google organic traffic overnight (and some lost up to 90%).

The next site I’m going to cover has dealt with Panda and major core ranking updates in the past. It’s a relatively large site, in a competitive niche, and is heavily advertising-based from a monetization standpoint.

When Fred rolled through, the site lost over 60% of its Google organic traffic overnight. And with Google representing a majority of its traffic, the site’s revenue was clearly hit hard. It’s also worth noting that Google organic traffic has dropped even further since 3/7 (and is down approximately 70% since Fred rolled out.)

UX Barriers Galore
If you’ve read my previous posts about Google’s major core ranking updates focused on quality, then you’ve seen many examples of what I call “low quality user engagement”. Well, this site had many problems leading up to the 3/7 update. For example, there were large video ads smack in the middle of the content, deceptive ads that looked like download buttons (which users could mistakenly click thinking they were real download buttons), flash elements that don’t load and just display a shell, and more.

And expanding on the deception point from above, there were links in the main content that looked like internal links, but instead, those links whisked users off to third party advertiser sites. Like I’ve said a thousand times before, “hell hath no fury like a user scorned”. And it looks like Fred had their back.

To add insult to injury, the site isn’t even mobile-friendly. When testing the site on a mobile device, the content is hard to see, it’s hard to navigate around the site, etc. Needless to say, this isn’t helping matters. I can only imagine the horrible signals users are sending Google about the site after visiting from the search results.

This is why it’s so important to analyze your site through the lens of these algorithm updates. Understand all “low quality user engagement” problems riddling your site, weed them out, and improve quality significantly. That’s exactly what Google’s John Mueller has been saying when asked about these updates (including Fred).

Example 2 – Tired of the gray area. Better late than never.
The next example I’m going to cover is a large-scale site driving a lot of traffic from Google organic historically. The site has been in the gray area of Google’s quality algorithms for a long time and has seen major drops and surges over time.

The company finally got tired of sitting in the gray area (which is maddening), and decided to conduct a full-blown quality audit to identify, and then fix, “low quality user engagement” problems. They began working on this in the fall of 2016 and a number of the changes did not hit the site until early 2017. In addition, there are still many changes that need to be implemented. Basically, they are in the beginning stages of fixing many quality problems.

As you can see below, the site has previously dealt with Google’s major core ranking updates focused on quality. Here’s a big hit during Phantom 2 in May of 2015, and then recovery during the November 2015 update:

When a site is in the gray area of Google’s quality algorithms, it can see impact with each major update. For example, it might drop by 20% one update, only to surge 30% during the next. But then it might get smoked by another update, and then regain some of the losses during the next. I’ve always said that they gray area is a maddening place to live.

When Fred rolled out on 3/7/17, the site dropped by approximately 150K sessions per day from Google organic. Now, the site drives a lot of traffic so that wasn’t a massive drop for them. But it also wasn’t negligible. In addition, the site increased during the early January update, so the company was expecting more upward movement, and not less.

Here’s a close-up view of the drop. More about the second half of that screenshot soon (not shown).

It can be frustrating for site owners working hard on improving quality to see a downturn, but you need to be realistic. Even though the site has a lot of high quality content, it also has a ton of quality issues. I’ve sent numerous deliverables through to this company containing problems to address and fix. Some of those changes have been rolled out, while others have not. Currently, there are still many things to fix from a quality perspective.

Example 3 – Soaring With Fred
The first example covers an amazing case study. It’s a site I’ve helped extensively over the years from a quality standpoint, since it had been impacted by Panda and Phantom in the past. It has surely seen its share of ups and downs based on major algorithm updates.

When Fred rolled out, it didn’t take long for the site owner to reach out to me in a state of Google excitement.

“Seeing big gains today. Traffic levels I haven’t seen in a long time… Is this going to last??”

Needless to say, I immediately dug in.

What I saw was a thing of beauty. It was a surge so strong that it would make any SEO smile. The site literally jumped 125% overnight (and this isn’t a small site with a minimal amount of traffic). Google organic surged by 110K sessions per day and has remained at that level ever since. Here are screenshots from Google Analytics and Google Search Console:

Reviewing the audits I performed for the site revealed many low quality content problems and “low quality user engagement” barriers. And that included aggressive monetization. So the remediation plan covered an anti-Panda and anti-Phantom strategy.

Tips for link building to speed up keyword ranking

Tags : Link building strategies Link building tips

Category : Link building

It’s like high school all over again – with popularity the name of the game. In the world of search engine optimisation (SEO) you need others to confirm that your website (and therefore your business) is a great destination.

On the web, this means links. Links from another site to yours. Also known as backlinks.

So – how do you get backlinks from these types of site to improve your ranking?

Linked to sites that gets involved

This can take true commitment and the links back to you will take time, but getting involved in your local community is a great way to get to know the people in that community, network and support other organisations.

The outcome you want is a mention (and with it, a link) on their website, and in any material published elsewhere, of course. Make sure you ask them to give you a link from the relevant content on their website as not all of these groups will think to do it as a matter of course.

Host a local event – seminars, charitable or community events and get your co-sponsors or supporters to promote it (with a link to the information about the event on your site).
Sponsor local schools, sports team or not for profit such as an animal rescue organisation. Make sure there is a link back to your site from theirs and in any promo material.
Start a discount/product partnership with a local organisation.
Contact local media and offer your expertise as a source for their work.
Offer to speak at a local educational institute (such as a night class).

In all cases, the idea is for your business name and a link to your website to be on any/all material published on-line about the event. It doesn’t have to be flashy, just a simple text link will suffice (see the bit about anchor text below).

If you are already involved in your local community, it will be a case of asking people for these links to be included – easy!

Create useful resources

This means having something on your website that is useful to people such as:

1. A map, guide or list of local:

Tourist sites of interest.
Retail/shopping areas with free WiFi spots.
Events and activity based attractions.
Business meeting rooms and locations.
Key buildings or destinations.
Cultural attractions.

2. A guide through local by-laws or how to get something done using local businesses and organisations with contact details and web links in a step-by-step instruction

3. Video how-to’s and tutorials for standard tasks that everyone needs to be able to do from DIY home improvement to changing the printer ink cartridges. You can refer to local suppliers within the video if you want to make it more relevant and useful to people within a specific area.

If possible, when creating this content, think of something related to your business because then you can include some of your expertise into the mix e.g.:

GST calculator (bookkeepers).
Tax return and payment due date tables (accountants).
Phone system cost calculators (telecommunication companies).
Building cost estimators (builders or quantity surveyors).
How to change a tap washer video (plumbers).
Styling tips (personal stylist).

The idea with these types of resources is that other people who find them useful will link to them, rather than create their own.

For example, we’re looking at one of our most popular blog posts How much will that website cost? to see if it can be turned into an on-line calculator so people can estimate the cost of a build based on their individual needs.

Leverage the relationships you already have

If you’ve spent time building a mutually positive relationship with a client or supplier then it is easier to ask them to help build both your businesses, than it is to ask a relative stranger.

Provide glowing (but honest) testimonials for any local business you interact with in return for a link on the testimonial when they publish it on their website. And who doesn’t want more testimonials on their site?

This can include whoever you have used:

For your office fit-out or furniture.
Set up your computer systems or provided a laptop.
Cleaning your offices.
Your signage, printing or other design work.
Catered lunch or an event or even delivers your coffee!
Organised your insurance.
Took care of your plumbing, electrical, painting or other property related services.
Did copy writing work for you.
Printed your logo on pens, t-shirts and corporate gifts.

Or, you could offer something to help their content efforts, such as guest posts for their blog (if they have one).

And be sure to ask to be listed on any preferred vendors or partner pages.

Great ways to bring more visitors to your website

Tags : How to get organic traffic

Category : Seo Consulting

It takes work, sometimes quite hard word, to get more people to visit your website. But to make it easier – we’re giving you a dozen ways to do it.

1. Create great content

People want information. That means content.

Not just good sales copy about what your company offers, but content that helps them out in some way.

People love content so much they will actively hunt it down.

You want them to find you when they do this.

And to attract them, your site needs a blog, tips, FAQs or resource section – or even better, all of the above!

You have to publish things that people want to read about, which isn’t normally the same as the stuff the organisational hierarchy have a strong opinion about, so:

Ask reception or customer service staff
Look at sites like Quora.com for questions frequently asked
Think about what you’re asked all the time by friends, family and associates
A radical thought – ask your customers directly.

Then create content that answers those questions.

Organic Search Traffic

Organic traffic is that which comes from people clicking on the (non-paid) search result links.

Most effective, websites with healthy visitor numbers, have a good proportion of visits coming from organic search.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is everything you do to make your site a more attractive destination in the search engines eyes – i.e to get you good search result rankings. Some of the strategies above are necessary to improve your search rankings and grow organic traffic.

But in addition, your site should be optimised for search – which means getting all the technical bits right so the site is an attractive destination for the search engines. This includes:

Unique landing page for each product or service offering
Search friendly URLs
Canonical URLs
Unique title tags and descriptions
Appropriate use of keywords in the above, but also in headings and content body
Clean, fast loading code

Get out and be social

People do business with people, so make sure you are where your customers hang out – whether it be Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or Pinterest.

Being active on social networks means being the face of the business so get someone who is an appropriate spokesperson – not just the youngest, hippest person on the team!

Like the website itself, you will need to promote your Facebook page or Pinterest page, and reach out to build your Twitter/LinkedIn communities. This can be done via competitions and giveaways, or actively reaching out to individuals. It depends on the platform.

Once you’ve written your excellent content, share it on these social media platforms so that it is exposed to more people. Include social sharing buttons on your website so it is easier for readers to share it for you.

Interact and join discussions – if you comment intelligently on content or discussions that are directly related to your business, and if you back it up with helpful content on your website – then this can be very effective.

However, it can be time consuming, and too many people comment on blogs and forums just for the sake of it so pick your platforms and discussions carefully. If your content answers a question you can also link to it in your response to questions or discussions..

Become a video star

A blog post or article that answers a common question can be re purposed as video or Slideshare content. And for complex services, a picture paints a thousand words.

Have a product? Are you a location based business? A video is a great way to show them off.

Set up a You Tube or Vimeo channel to post your video, and include prompts to visit the site or subscribe to your channel for further updates. Video content also contributes to search visibility.

Good video can take a while to prepare and you need the right tools to do it. Alternatively there are video creation companies that will do it for you.

Attract referrals from other sites

Referred visitors are a bit the same as referrals in the offline world. They vary in quality but can be a very effective way of attracting visitors to your site and getting leads.

Referrals are when another site places a link from their site to yours – when someone clicks on that link they will show up in Google Analytics as a referred visit.

Get repeat visitors

Don’t forget that it can be cheaper to get more business from your existing client base than it is to win someone who has not dealt with you before.

Make sure you have some of your website dedicated to providing good support and service to your existing customers.

Include regular updates and fresh content on your site so people come back for more – even if they weren’t ready to buy what you offer the first time they visit, over time they will become familiar with your content and your business. And knowing is the first step in the know-like-trust process.

Email newsletters with links to your latest blog or article is a great way to a) get material for your newsletter and b) send people to your website where they can spend time reading about your offers that might be relevant to them.

Tips to get inspired from content writing

Tags : Writing inspiration

Category : Webmaster Skills

Finding writing inspiration isn’t as hard as you thought it might be. Even your everyday activities can inspire you in a way. Check out our tips on how to get that creative juices flowing:

Plan Out the Topics You Want to Write About

Before creating your briefs, you might want to plan out the topics of your content first. Creating a concept map can help you with your writing process. The map should include the three main ideas that a writer should consider: task analysis, thinking, and planning, then writing.

It can be in the form of mind maps or spider diagrams if your ideas have no particular order. Start with your main topic in the middle then branch out. Vertical charts and flow charts are useful if your written piece has to follow a step-by-step process.

Once you have all the points all laid down, you’ll be able to find new connections and enable you to work out a logical structure. At the same time, you’ll get inspired to find the right words to express your points.

Write a Lot and Often

Don’t stop writing even if you run out of ideas. Try your best to write every day. You can improve your thinking process as you develop your writing. Writing inspiration is likely to occur when you’re aware of the thoughts running through your mind.

To help this process, there’s a technique called free writing. It’s a writing exercise where you write nonstop for a period of time. You write freely about whatever thoughts that come to your mind.

The results will not be perfect as there’ll be grammatical errors, broken flows, and no format. However, that doesn’t matter once you read back and explore your writing. You’ll discover hidden ideas and new concepts between the unorganized sentences.

Write Briefs

Briefs are informative documents or the blueprints of your writing pieces. A good brief arranges your thinking and gives you a distinct path from the introduction to the conclusion of whatever you’re writing.

By creating an outline for your writing, you’ll be able to see the purpose of the content. You’ll find the inspiration to expand your points, clarifying them further, and making strong connections or transitions.

To make a good brief that can help you with your writing, it should have:

Goals ‒ the reason why you’re writing the piece.
Target audience ‒ who are you writing to.
Key points ‒ the most important information that grabs that readers’ attention.
Supportive points ‒ the essential details that explain why readers should believe your points.
Tone ‒ the attitude you’re conveying in your writing. For example formal, humorous, or optimistic.

Read a lot of Different Books

Stephen King once wrote, “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.” It can’t be stressed enough that reading is essential when it comes to writing.

When you need inspiration, spare some time to read. You can find ideas, learn about different writing styles, structure, and formatting. Try to take notes whenever you’re reading new material.

Research also confirms that reading has a positive influence on your brain. It helps you to de-stress and broadens your imagination and information, making it a great source for writing inspiration.

Carry Around a Notebook

Writing inspiration is around you waiting to be found ‒ it can be as simple as the people passing by or nature. Don’t just ignore it. Even a tiny bit of inspiration needs to be documented.

Just like what Allen Ginsberg, said, “if the muse comes to your bedside don’t say you’ll attend to her later.”

As you have noticed, ideas don’t come according to your schedule. They frequently emerge when you’re in the middle of your daily activities. Due to that fickle nature, a notebook definitely comes in handy.

A notebook can be a platform for your imagination. You can come back to the points you’ve written and get creative with them.

Choosing a domain name can be one of the most challenging aspects when starting your online journey. You need to pick a word, or a combination of words, that will be memorable and describe what your brand is all about. That’s a lot of pressure for a couple of words. Luckily, you can use a domain name generator.

That’s where a domain name generator will come in handy. It will help you to come up with the perfect domain name for your brand. And it will also check the availability.

Here’s an updated list of the best domain name generators you can find.

1. Hostinger Domain Checker

The Hostinger Domain Checker is a quick and handy tool to come up with a domain name. It helps you to catch all the best ideas. Just enter your preferred word to the search bar and look through the search results.

What’s cool about the Hostinger Domain Checker, is that it immediately shows you all the available word combinations that match your search and a list of different, available TLDs for it.

Additionally, Hostinger shows you the cost of the domain name you pick.

This domain generator is convenient, as it does all the domain-related work for you.

2. Nameboy

Nameboy domain name generator was launched back in 1999. It’s been around for a while and is trusted amongst web creators.

This domain name generator checks your provided keyword and makes different suggestions based on it. It does, however, advise people to check only the most common TLDs like .com.

Nameboy truly is one of the best, most easy to use domain name generators out there. This explains its popularity. Many people use it not only for generating a domain name but also for creating company names and such.

3. Instant Domain Search

Instant Domain Search is a neat little tool that shows you domain name search results as you type. It works very quickly, so it saves you a lot of time.

This generator adds loads of popular beginnings and endings to the keyword of your choice, to find which most popular TLDs are available. However, it does check all available TLDs, including generic and country code TLDs.

What’s very cool and helpful, is that Instant Domain Search looks up all the domain names that are about to expire. This is handy because some registrars let you purchase domain names, that are nearing the end of their life-cycle.

4. NameStall

NameStall offers a variety of tools to help you in your domain search. Start with their domain name generator tool, which will help you search by keyword and other filters, including:

Parts of speech
Popular keywords
Basic English words
Industry categories

You can also choose if you want your keyword at the beginning or end of your domain or if you want a hyphen in your web address. Finally, choose extensions you’d like to filter by. You’ll receive a list of options that are both taken and not yet registered. Click the “register” link beside the one you like to choose it.

NameStall also features a similar domain name suggestion tool as well as an instant domain search tool, brandable domain name list, and high paying keywords search tool.

5. Lean Domain Search

The most common way to create a domain name is to combine two or more words. Lean Domain Search does this for you. You enter a word of your choice, and the domain name generator comes up with dozens of different, relevant word combinations.

What is more, the Lean Domain Search checks the availability of your chosen domain name.

One thing to keep in mind: .com is the only TLD (Top Level Domain) that it checks. This TLD is the most popular and memorable on the web, so this limited function is actually quite handy.

However, if you are interested in a different TLD, such as .org or .co, you might want to use a different tool.

6. Bust a Name

Bust a Name has numerous filtering tools to help you find a quality domain name that meets your specific needs. Start by filtering for keywords, and then choose options such as “starts” or “ends” with your keyword. Then, filter by how natural you want the domains to look, and choose your character limit. You can also choose to show taken domains as well as filter by extensions, such as .com, .net, and .org. At the bottom of the page, you’ll also see suggestions for similar keywords to try.

If you don’t have a keyword in mind, try the “Make a Random Domain” button to spark ideas or snatch up an available name. If you find a domain that you like, save it for later, or purchase it through links to domain registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap. You can also run a domain search on the site to if the name you have in mind is available.

7. Shopify Business Name Generator

Although the tool’s name suggests it’s just for generating business names, Shopify’s Business Name Generator actually delivers available domain name ideas. Start by choosing a keyword that you want your domain to include, and you’ll get hundreds of suggestions. Although the site encourages you to create a Shopify shop using the domain name they’ve suggested, you can go elsewhere to purchase the web address. Suggestions use the .com extension.

8. Domainsbot

DomainsBot uses only the best algorithms created to provide unparalleled power. This tool provides relevant domain name suggestions in eleven different languages!

It spreads its results across all TLDs (Top Level Domains). Many market leaders, such as Network Solutions, OpenSRS and Weebly use the DomainsBot domain generator to provide the best service possible to their clients.

This domain name generator is one of the most trusted and easy to use tools on the market.

9. Domain Puzzler

Domain Puzzler is a simple tool with many options. Start with the “easy” version, and insert your ideal keywords, choose your domain extensions, and search for ideas. The cool thing about this domain name generator is that you can include numerous keywords opposed to just one or two like the other tools on this list, and it will combine your keywords into different variations. Add results to your favorites list, or try a more advanced search. You can also use the tool to compare the page rank of different domain names.

10. Name Mesh

You can do a few things with this run-of-the-mill domain generator. First, Name Mesh lets you check the availability of your chosen domain name with the most common TLDs. Secondly, it checks the availability of new gTLDs (Generic Top Level Domains), such as .email, .link, and so on.

What is more, Name Mesh helps you to create a short domain name, by combining your keyword of choice with TLDs.

Right ways to get a perfect domain name

Tags : Choose a good domain name

Category : Server Hosting Domain

Having a good domain name is crucial for your overall branding. The tips below will provide some guidance for you in choosing the perfect domain name.

Keep It Short

It’s common knowledge: people don’t like long names. It’s hard to remember them! Our advice is to keep it up to two words, as they make great combinations. Just take a look at the list of top 500 websites and you’ll see that most of them stick to one or two-word names.

Choose .com or ccTLD

Although there are many domain name extensions available, .com is still the most popular. People just assume that all websites’ names end with .com.

That’s why choosing .com is the safest option. If your desired .com domain is not available, try .org or .net. If they’re also not available, it’s best to choose a new domain name.

If your target audience is your own country, using ccTLD is also a good choice. You will likely rank higher in the search results of those living in your target area.

Make It Easy to Type

A catchy name is useless if people don’t know how to spell it. Keep it simple by avoiding numbers, slang, and hyphens. They are often misspelled and forgotten.

When people hear your domain name, they don’t know whether it is 3 or three. Or if you want to make songsforyou.com, use that instead of songs4u.com.

Mistakes above can direct potential visitors to other websites and hurt your business. Make sure to keep these tips in mind when selecting your domain name.

Make It Brandable

Think ahead when choosing your domain name. Surely you want your website to be remembered and stand out from competitors? A brandable domain will help you to achieve that.

Pick a name that once heard, people will instantly think about your website. Ask yourself, is it unique and catchy? Does it reflect your brand? Consider those questions while choosing your domain name.

Don’t Overuse Keywords

Keywords in your domain name can help your site to rank better. However, if you choose to use keywords, keep it minimal. We suggest to only use one keyword like felixflorist.com or laurendentistry.com.

Remember, we’re trying to make a brand. Stuffing keywords into your domain name is the opposite of that.

Create, Blend, or Mix & Match

Don’t know how to start picking a domain name? Here’s a tip about brandable names: they are often meaningless.

Google, Yahoo, Reddit, Bing – those words didn’t even exist before. You can do just that and create new words.

If it’s too hard to make a new word from scratch, try to blend words. To give you an idea, Instagram is a mix of instant and telegram. You can also tweak them a little bit like the flix in Netflix which is a variation of the word “flicks”.

Another great option is to mix and match keywords. Write down a list of words that describe your brand. Then, try to combine them together.

Make as many options as you can and choose the best one. Some examples from this method are StumbleUpon, MySpace, SoundCloud, etc.
