This is not as easy as its sounds because before you buy a domain name you need to decide which market you are entering into. For example if you are going to create a website for South African users then you need to setup a hosting account in South Africa and then buy a co.za domain. If you are promoting overseas then you need to set up a hosting account there and then choose a .com or a co.uk etc.
It doesn’t end there either, because once you have decided on your target market you need to go back to your keyword research and work from there. Because the domain name should match the keyword or products you have chosen.
Lets say in your keyword research you came up with the word WEIGHT LOSS PRODUCTS. The chances of getting the domain name weightlossproducts .co .za are pretty slim so what you need to do is add a word in front or at the end, but at the same time focusing on the keyword WEIGHT LOSS.
The trick here is to also create a call to action in the word with out adding to many characters. So you could either choose:
- getweightlossproducts .co.za
- buyweightlossproducts .co.za
- orderweightlossproducts .co.za
You need to remember you are trying to sell Weight Loss Products so having a domain like greatweightlossproducts .co.za or cheapweightlossproducts .co.za are not going to work. Therefore think carefully when you add the call to action in the domain name, but also keep it as short as possible.
Also if you can try stay away from hyphens such as get-weightloss-products .co.za .

This is very true. I have just learned that your domain website name should relate to one another and to the product or service you provide. Therefore whenever you build your keywords they should brand nicely and attract the search engine and directories spiders.
I have just learned this principle recently, that your website, domain names must have a correlation to the service or product you sell. Also your keywords must be built around the same concept. They say search engines and directories love to crawl website of this nature.
