As Short as Possible

“As Short As Possible” is the famous formula for domain name. The domain name is good and valuable if you can make the domain name as short as possible. There are many reasons behind this and I just want to share some of them. If the domain name is short, then it is easy to remember for the users and therefore they can revisit the website as the domain name is in their mind. But if the domain name is long enough that the visitors will forget it as they moved out of the website, then there is less chance for the visitors to come back to the website again.

Another reason is from the SEO point of view. The domain with only keyword will always be in the top position than the domain with keywords and other words. For example, compare the two domains [OrderStuffs.com] and [OrderyourStuffs.com]. If someone search order stuffs, then Orderstuffs.com will rank first and most of the users do not use conjunction and other words while searching. Only keyword is important and therefore we should always try to kick off those useless words.

This is true with the blog post also. You must always try to make the blog post as short as possible. But this time it is from the SEO point of view. If you have only keyword in the blog post title, then SE will give higher preference to this post and therefore you must remove conjunction, preposition, verbs, adverbs and other extra words from the blog post title. This is the easiest way to score good ranking in search engine.
