Small Business SEO – Sea Glass Jewelry – Domain Names and SEO

One more thing that I forgot to talk to Deborah about, when we met, is her domain name. She registered, set up and used, http://www.mermaidspurse.us. That’s cool because it’s her business name.

I really wanted to get the keyword phrase “sea glass” in there if possible. I asked her about it and she approved it, so I registered “mermaidspurseseaglass.com” and that’s what we will use. I changed the settings in WordPress and did all of the DNS and web server set up.

It is possible to redirect traffic from one domain name to another new one, but it takes time and effort. It’s easier and better to just analyze and decide on the best one to begin with and point all of your Google juice at it.

All of the links you get from blog comments and forum posts and emails will all point at the new domain name. The old one will work, but it will be redirected to the new name.

I’m going back through my posts here to link to the new domain name.

The business name is Mermaid’s Purse. She creates sea glass jewelry. We want to own “sea glass” and “sea glass jewelry. The domain name is “mermaidspurseseaglass.com“.

You don’t have to have the domain name be exactly the same as your business name. There’s the real world and then there’s the online world. (Those are words to live by.)
