A great way to find superb domain names perfectly suited for your business.

Single word domain names help get your website on page one of searches. If you are not on page one, there is little chance anyone will find you. Getting on the first page is essential, and getting to the top is best of all.

Search engines love single word domain names. Here is a list of websites that came up number one on Google, or close. There are countless more.

acne.org, add.org, adhd.com .org, adhd.com, alligator.org, alligator.com, birch.net, broadway.com, carolina.com, cheesecake.com, cigarette.com, classical.com, classical.net, cocaine.org, conception.edu, czech.cz, diamond.com, diamonds.com, diamonds.net engrave.com, everglades.com, everglades.org, evolve.org, finland.fi, finland.org, finland.com, frankfurt.de, glaucoma.org, greenland.com, guyana.org, guyana.com, healthy.net, holland.com, holland.org, hormone.org, insure.com, jewelry.com jewish.com, lighthouse.com, lindy.com, linguistics.org, literature.org, nature.com, nature.org, neurology.org, nightclub.com, ore.com, organic.com, organic.org, physique.com, pierre.org, poland.com, poland.pl, prague.cz, published.com, rvpark.com, sag.org, sarajevo.ba, serengeti.com, soybean.org, slovak.org, slovak.com, slovakia.com, thyroid.org, wilderness.org, wilderness.net, writers.com

A search for "classical" is interesting. Out of 476 million hits, classical.net came up number one and classical.com number three. There are several other multiple names in the list above, including "finland" showing up three times.

Another interesting set is diamond.com, diamonds.com, diamonds.net and jewelry.com. All of these have essentially the same products. A search for "diamond" turns up diamond.com number 1, but none of the others. A search for "diamonds" turns up diamonds.com number 1, diamonds.net number 6 and diamond.com sneaks in at the bottom of the first page. A search for "jewelry" turns up jewelry.com number 1, and none of the others.

The diamonds example shows how powerful the key word domain name is, because if jewelry.com, diamond.com, diamonds.com and diamonds.net were the most relevant websites by subject, all four should have shown at the top for all three searches.

You can see how much of an advantage a single word domain name can give you.

Search engines keep their page ranking algorithms a secret, so no one knows for sure how you can get ranked number one. However, these seem to be among the main criteria.

  1. Single word domain name
  2. Good content
  3. Quality websites linking to you

Single word domain names are search engine friendly. The single word domain name gives the search engines a strong clue as to the nature of the website. So a website with a domain name like soybean.org makes it easy for search engines to determine what the website is about.

Everyone wants to be at the top of the search engines and everyone knows how hard that is. No one can guarantee that your website will come up at the top and stay there. However, a single word domain name gives you a better chance, providing you are doing all the others you need to do.

A single word domain name puts you in a class with only a few others in the world.
