BlogKori: A professional blogger must have a real domain

  • Sakib Hasan · 1 year ago
    I heard that domain names should have a relation with the blog's content for better SEO, visitors etc.

    Now, if I am a new blogger without much posts, who talks about bengali movies. should I just buy a domain like www.bengalimovies.com ? And if the site fails to gain visitors and I choose to write about other things like politics, cricket, football etc, then, the the domain name will be wasted.

    So is it a good idea to get a neutral name like www.vista79.com so that the domain name dosent get wasted? ( even though it dosent cost much?)

    If you put the main keywords in the domain like bangladeshblogger.com or banglamovies.com -then its a killer seo technique and it will be ranked higher in the search pages. But if you add some keywords in your domain, then it will be a longer url like, earnmoneybangladesh.com etc.

    I would say, you should select a neutral domain and brand it. Like your name or a word. Do you think the word google means search or anything related to what google does? off course not, its a brand and now it means search. Please choose a catchy word and don't include any numbers (1,2,3) or hyphens (-)

    Is there any problem with your domain name? when I type http://blogkori.com/ , the site is seen , but when I type http://www.blogkori.com/ it shows a 404 error ( I mean including the "WWW" ). Or it is intentionally done for improving seo? Do write about this if it is.
  • Tamal Anwar · 1 year ago
    www.blogkori.com and blogkori.com are same sites but two different domains. If two domains point to one address, then the seo ranks will be divided. So I linked both of the domains to blogkori.com. It means if you type the address with www, it will be redirected to blogkori.com (without www)

    Everything is set, I thing blogger is doing some maintenance with their servers and that's why the temporary error is causing, it will be fixed soon...

    Another thing, if I assign a domain name to a blogger blog, does google count it as if its a portion of blogger which may give better SEO. Or does it count it as a completely separate website?

    You can write about a personally hosted blog like "Wordpress' php blogging software" which can be customized and overhauled for different needs wihtout much restriction. And give the advantages, disadvantages, SEO, bandwidth problem etc about it.

    Set a domain by going to dashboard> settings> publishing and add the domain. It will be the part of your blog but your own property. All of the links will be redirected to your new address.

    Actually, I'm new to wordpress and learning the things about it. I will write articles about wordpress as soon as I get more knowledge on it.

    Thanks for all the above or below answers :-)
  • Tamal Anwar · 1 year ago
    Its my pleasure, but why are you not updating your blog? Are you busy or working on any other blog? Do give me the link...
  • Sakib Hasan · 1 year ago
    kinda busy with my studies but in my leisure I actually am really lazy and play video games. lol I am not doing any other blogs now but at January I will buy myself a domain and space and host a new website with some features and hope it works out.
  • Tamal Anwar · 1 year ago
    I would request you to stop playing games and spend some time on building a blog or a social profile, or at least writing some articles. I'm a hardcore gamer too, but I find more interest on blogging and earning. There will be more free time after blogging and building a site, whatever you wish, best of success!
  • Sakib Hasan · 1 year ago
    I think I should stop playing games but should concentrate on the planning of the future website. Its sure is a risk and I dont have any idea if it will work or not.
  • Tamal Anwar · 1 year ago
    you know what they say, 'No risk, no gain!' Sometimes, great ideas come by accident. And some times, planning doesn't works. But if you really work hard on a good concept, you will succeed.

    Can you give me a hint, what you're going to do?
  • Sakib Hasan · 1 year ago
    Yes, you are right. I am going to take the risk and if I dont, it will keep hammering on my head in the future. I am feeling shy to give you a hint, so that I dont fall into an embarrassing situation.

    Anyways, I also liked the theme. Where did you get it and where can I get it?
  • Tamal Anwar · 1 year ago
    Yes and you shouldn't tell it to anyone online, because even I could steal the concept and start a blog about it. You can get cool templates as I said, eblogtemplates.com

    There are way cool and better themes you can use if you have a wordpress blog...
  • Sakib Hasan · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the link ( didnt notice the reply below)

    I am also going to be an anonymous owner of the site so that none thinks that this crappy website is Sakib's creation.

  • mike dancy · 1 year ago
    I agree 100%. There is this company as well, www.blogallo.com who will buy the domain name, pay for the hosting and set you up with the latest install of Wordpress for free.. no charge.
    well worth checking out in my opinion.
