Website Structure Factors: Domain: Before you pick a domain name you should know your target audience, and what you intend to sell to them. Try to use major keywords in your domain.

  • Thank you! I really appreciate your post, in fact I think you deserve a thumbs up. Here's a "secret method" for getting more local google search traffic. Just set up a google profile and make sure that you include your blog URL. Then go and review local businesses like gyms. Your review will have a link to your profile and your profile to your website. A interesting profile can drive some great google traffic!
