NET AU Domain names can be a fantastic alternative for COM AU domain names for your website. They can be the perfect choice if your business focuses on technology or networking.

.NET.AU domain names still sets the professional image your business needs and has no bearing on how your site ranks in the search engines. A NET AU site with good content will rank much higher in the search engines than a COM AU site with lesser content.

Tips for finding great NET AU domains

When searching for domains, it is best to look for 100% matches for your search terms. Hyphens can be used in between words if your keywords are taken. But it is best to limit hyphens to one to two, as too many can seem tacky.

For example, if you owned a business that was a Bed & Breakfast. You could go for a name like Bed-And-Breakfasts.net.au which gets 135,000 searches in Australia each month.

This data is from the Google Keyword Tool. It can be a fantastic resource for finding high searched local terms in Google. This data can be quite helpful in deciding which NET AU domain name is for you.

 

Where to get NET AU domains

The problem with Australian domain names is the older established registrars charge far too much for Australian domains. There are plenty of new companies that are offering domains at the third of the price. The simple truth is that most of these domains come from the exact same place and where you purchase your domain name has no bearing on where it ranks in the search engines. With this in mind, price is very important. I purchase my NET AU domain names from Domainwave. Which has NET AU domain names for around $14.95 per year.
