Niche Relationship with website

A keyword-rich domain name is the best way to show your visitors that your website and your niche are related. You have to appear as relevant and closely associated to your niche in order to show up in search results for queries related to it. You can give yourself an extra boost in that direction by including a primary keyword in your domain name, and you’ll have a much easier time supporting your website with the niche you are targeting.

Customer Recall

Some people seem to forget that your domain name is basically a signpost for your business. If you were a traditional brick and mortar business you would have a sign out on the road telling people who you are and what you offer. For the online business, this is what your domain name does so by  including keywords will make it serve as a signpost, alerting people about what you do and what you offer.

An important part of online business development is recruiting visitors to your website. After all, no matter how great your website is and no matter how great your company or your product is, if people don’t get a chance to see for themselves then they will never know and you’ll never earn any money. But with a keyword rich domain name you are going to be actively recruiting people to your website by showcasing what you have to offer and what they can expect to see once they click on your link.
