Whenever I create a new website I always do it with the intentions of having it ranked on the first page of Google search results. I mean who doesn’t want that number 1 spot? One little thing that I wasn’t aware of was that maybe my domain name was keeping me from that coveted spot. So what was I to do? I didn’t even know there was a problem!
Well it really isn’t a big problem, but anything that you can do to make your website more appealing to the search engine the better off you are. The Problem with my domain name was that I didn’t register it long enough. I always though when I registered a domain name that I would do it for one year, and if the website didn’t work out then I was only out a minimal amount.
Well the search engines look at it in almost the same way. When they crawl your website they notice that your website is only registered for one year, and it throws up a flag that maybe this website is a temporary or spam site. How much of a red flag is thrown up I don’t know, but it is always better to register your domain names for at least two years. This show the search engines that you are a website that is planning on sticking around for a while.
