Pick the right domain name for your website.

Domains used to play a key role in the SEO before but, eventually Search Engines became smarter. Even though, having your keyword in your domain name is recommended.

Things to remember while selecting a domain:

Get a .com rather than a .me, .biz etc., the old domain names are better than the new ones as they’re well known and trusted. If you’re purchasing an old domain, please make sure if the previous owner didn’t do anything shady; you could get your domain penalized.

Having keyword in your domain name doesn’t mean you are going to get listed first. It’s just recommendable and will only help when compared to overall efforts.
