Dalrymple-Smith explains: “Domain names offer significant advantages in terms of a businesses pay-per-click and search engine optimisation strategy. Keyword domains related to search terms will often rank highly in natural search listings and receive better click through than paid search campaigns. Such domains also benefit from high levels of natural search traffic and can prove a great source of positively converting and highly relevant traffic.”
