    7 Ways to Improve your Website Ranking
    1) Select the right domain name- Research using Google Adwords and identify a niche market from the broad market to sell your product or service (the niche market must have a minimum of 50,000 searches monthly to ensure that is sufficient interest for your products). You need to concentrate on the specialized niche instead of targeting in the broad market. It's easier to be considered a leader in a niche market compared to dominate the whole market. Next, range from the keyword using the highest search frequency for that identified niche market into your domain name. You may want to create 2 domains for the online business- (i) one that matches the search phrases of the target audience for leads generation and (ii) another domain name together with your company name for branding purpose. You could link your leads generating domain to your main business domain. This helps to guide your viewers to your main website and generate sales for the online business.
