The domain name should not be trademarked

It is important to check whether your domain name is consisting of trademark names or not. Never ever buy a domain name that violates the other business’s trademark. Because sometimes people use different domain names and those names violates someone’s trademark and due to that, you have to face some problems.

In a website, we can use famous keywords to increase the traffic of our website.

It will also increase your ranking in the Google rankings and also increase the chances to display your website on the top search results of Google search engine.

Numbers and hyphens

Sometimes people include hyphens and numbers on their website but you should avoid the use of hyphens and number in building your website. For example, if you own a website called ‘trade-property4people.com’ then people get confused in the hyphens and numbers, they also get confused in the ‘four’ and ‘4’. That’s why it is important to avoid using hyphens and numbers in your website.

Research for your name

Research for the top 100 or 1000 names and by this we will get an idea about the similarities among those websites.
