====== Domain ====== ---- ===== Definition ===== A **domain** is the website's name as it appears in the URL. **Example** In the address ''www.acebit.com'' ''acebit'' is the second-level domain and ''.de'' the [[TLD|top-level domain]]. ---- ===== Importance for SEO ===== If it fits in, it can be a good idea to use the main keyword in the //domain//. But more important than that is that you choose a domain name that isn't too long and that's easy to remember. Often the unique and original domain names are the more successful ones. Think about what would have been if //Twitter// used ''online-messages-network'' or //Google// used ''free-search-engine'' as their domain name. In both cases they would have the keyword in their domain name, but would they also have the same success?
