Internet marketing domain names for the us presidential elections.

That was a long title. I have a bunch of those but I wonder why the response isn´t better. I think I have very good domain names, they are very basic, coreful and US-ish !

I have put a lot of time on several things but being businessman needs its time.
If you wonder what I talk about, you can see for your self.

Well, there will more be more elections and based upon the domain industry today, domain names will be even more sought after as time goes by.

Thinking about domain names, coreful names can be eyecatching depending on the viewer. They can even be so known, that they are boring and almost so common so some people don´t react. But I think they do without knowing it, and some do it definitely more than others.
I believe that some people like what is old and conservative, common and known. They might react with less interest when they see something new. Some other people prefer new things. On the other hand, they might prefer new things all the time so they want something new, or they leave.

As a website maker there are loads of things to think about. If the domain name is very generic and known, which is good, you should make the titles of the index page at least the same as the domain name (among all the things to do). Actually yes, it gives some percentage better ranking and that people see the same thing that they look for even in the domain name. Textual congruence. And then, to complement, there has to be pages with content and words that look new, and interesting.

It does not strictly have to do with "SEO", search engine optimization though it should be since SEO is meant to be about user optimization if considered in the right way. But infact, SEO has been looken at too much as a technical concern. Wrong. Well there are some tricks that can be done but even those are for the purpose to improve the ranking because you want it to be so since you think you do a good job. If you are smarter with sense, you also think that your work deserve to be found as well right? So, even though a website can come up early among the results, it still depends on what the text says.

And to optimize among people, not just among results of a search engine, the content has to appeal, which is what seo is to be about but the technical ranking can actually be better than the reader ranking and with that I mean again, that even though a website may come up among the first result in a search, it may be so, that few people click on it, because there is something uninteresting or wrong with the text and, even though the search engine liked the page so much it gave it such a good ranking.

Did you follow everything? No problems, it's just about thing to learn, but in a good way!
