How to Use Domain Samurai

Domain Samurai takes the legwork out of finding good domain names.

One of the most crucial aspects of setting up a website is choosing a domain name. With thousands of sites being built every day, finding a name relevant to your site not already claimed can be extremely tedious. Domain samurai does the heavy lifting for you by searching through databases of domain names to check for those that have not yet been taken, and offers suggestions for alternate domain names.

Instructions

1. Open the Domain Samurai software and choose "New Project." Enter a title for the project and a "seed keyword," or the basic subject matter around which your site's content will revolve. For example, for a photography website your seed keyword might be "photography" or "camera."

2. Choose the "Domains" button to begin your search for keywords-optimized domain names. Enter more seed keywords when prompted; choose keywords that further refine the website's content. For example, if you are creating a website dedicated to improving basketball skills your original seed keyword may have just been "basketball," but you can now include keywords like "basketball skills" or "improving basketball."

3. Click on the "Domain Variations" button and choose the type of site you are building, whether it is a blog, online shop or review site.

4. Click "Find Domains." Click on the "Density" button when your results pop up to organize the list of domains by their viability based on keyword density. Click "check," found next to each entry, to check the domain's availability. Results in green indicate an open domain, while red shows a domain name has already been taken. Ideally you will want to find an open domain with the highest keyword density

5. Click the "buy" button, located next to the "check" option, to purchase a domain. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up a domain registrar and finalize the purchase.
