Search Engine Ranking
May 12th, 2010
Does the length of your website’s domain name registration affect search engine optimization and results?
If you really want to stay ahead of the competition, you might consider registering or renewing your domain name for 100 years. Currently, Network Solutions (www.netsol.com) is the only registrar offering the 100 year option, which costs $999.00. bikaiDomains (www.bikaidomains.us), currently offers to renew or register a domain name for 10 years, at a discount of $6.95 per year.
Its good business sense to register a domain for at least 10 years. You don’t want to deal with the process annual process of renewing them every year. It’s best to obtain the domain names that you want to keep for a while and renew then on a 5 to 10 year plan.
If your domain name expires, there’s a good chance that someone will register your domain name immediately after it expires. If, for whatever reason, you don’t renew your domain name, someone watching a ‘watch list’ of expiring domain names will try to capitalize on the online business that you’ve built over the years. They know that there is potential website traffic they can have simply by renewing your old domain name. By renewing your domain name for several years, your domain name won’t expire for a while, and it won’t be opened up to expired domain name buyers.
Yes, you can lose critical positioning in the search engines if you don’t re-register your domain name in time. You may have to start the SEO process all over again!
