Two important questions to focus on:
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2025 10:42 am
The last thing I'll talk about in the pitfall department is the overlap of intent between domains.
I see that it's actually a lot. It could be like a winery. So they have tastings.winery.com or something like that. In that case, their tasting subdomain talks about their wine tasting, their tasting room. It's very focused on that part of their business. But then on Winery.com they also have extensive content about tasting. Well, you've got overlap there, and you're forcing yourself to do a lot more than that.
I would choose one or the other and not both. Just cameroon number data sure that if you choose to do separate domains, subdomains, microsites, that kind of thing, there is no overlap. Make sure that there is no overlap and that each of them has a distinct purpose.
Now that we've come to the end of this, I really want to have these two questions. I think it will make domain selection a lot easier when you focus on these two questions.
What am I trying to achieve? What are the goals? What am I trying to do? Just focus on that first. Then second, and probably most importantly, what is best for my users? So focus on your goals, focus on your users, and I think the domain selection process will become a lot easier. It's not easy by any means.
There are some very complicated situations, but I think, in the end, if you focus on your goals and your users, it will be much easier. If you have any comments regarding domain selection that you think would be helpful for others to know, please share them in the comments below. That's it for this week's Whiteboard Friday, and come back next week for another one. Thanks everyone.
