Guide To Come Up With A Perfect Blog Name

One of the key components that makes your blog stand out is your blog name.

Your blog name has the potential to give you more traffic, better conversions, and even affiliate sales.

Hence, it is essential that we choose a blog name that pays in the long run.

In this post, I will share some of the tips on how to come up with the perfect blog name.

If you are starting a new blog or just want to rebrand your dying blog, follow the steps below.

Things To Consider Before Coming Up With A Blog Name:

#1. Check Out The Niche or Topic Your Blog is About:

This is the first step you need to consider before selecting a blog name. Find out what your blog is going to talk about. Your niche (subject around your blog articles) matters a lot if you want targeted readers.

Suppose you run a food blog, coming up with a name like FoodBasket.com is a good name to start. However, if you are thinking to get a funky name, your readers might not find your blog.

For example, one of the most popular news site “The Onion” has nothing to do with food or onions, it's a news site. When I first came across the site, I did not click on it thinking the article is spam. So make sure to have a title that goes inline with your blog subject.

#2. Brandability:

While generating blog names make sure those can be branded. If you are creating a niche site, consider choosing a domain name that is easy to remember or recall.

#3. Give Your Blog Name Some Search Engine Love:

Your blog name, in a course of time, becomes your keyword that your site ranks for. Every query related to your blog name will get your blog ranked in the SERPs.

So, why not use this blog name as a keyword or a part of your primary keyword? Having a keyword gives your blog an advantage in the SERPs.

Try to optimize your blog name for search engines by either using your main keywords or combining your keyword with any adjectives. Here is a huge list of adjectives for you.

#4. Select A Blog Name That Passes The Phone Test:

Don’t get carried away with fancy blog names. Make sure your blog name is easily audible and understandable.

By phone test I mean when you say your blog name to someone via phone, the other person should be able to type it and reach the correct blog easily.

This is so essential in the day to day life where you have to name your blog in conferences, meetings, and podcasts.

Even more, when your blog starts attracting word of mouth people should be able to reach the correct website they heard.
