| + | ===== Definition ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | A **domain** is the website's name as it appears in the URL. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Example** | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the address ''<nowiki>www.acebit.com</nowiki>'' ''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? | ||
