Just the Website: Turn Any Site Into Domain Name Keywords

The best word list for a domain name search is often sitting on a website you already know: your own, a competitor's, or the site of the business you are naming. The trouble is getting it out. You can read the page and jot down words, but you miss the phrases in the page addresses, the headings and the descriptions that search engines see.

Just the Website on DNSLister does that reading for you. Type a website, and it lists the keywords and phrases that site is really about, strongest first. From there, one click saves them as a word list, checks them as .com names or opens name ideas.

Quick answer

Sign in, open /tools/site-keywords, type a website address and press Scan. You get up to 50 keywords and phrases (100 with Premium). Each one shows where on the site it was found and links to word lists, name ideas and a .com check. Tick the ones you like and press Save as a word list or Check as .com. The buttons stay at the bottom of the window while you scroll.

What it reads

Just the Website reads the page you give it and the page addresses listed in the site's sitemap. It weighs the places a site owner writes on purpose most heavily:

• Title and H1, the lines that say what the page is about. These count the most.
• URLs: the words in the site's page addresses, such as /custom-wedding-cakes.
• Description, Headings and Structured data.
• Links and the Body text, which count the least.

A phrase found in the title and the page addresses beats one that only shows up once in a paragraph. The "Found in" chips on each row show you where it came from.

It is polite about it. It reads the site's robots.txt first and stops if the site asks bots to stay out, or if the site puts up a bot check. You will see a short note saying so rather than a half-empty list.

What you can do with the list

Every row has three links:

• Lists opens List Finder with that word already chosen, to find ready-made word lists about it on the web.
• Ideas opens name ideas built from the phrase, such as Word Blends and Domain Hacks.
• .com checks whether the phrase is free as a .com name.

Below the list:

• Save as a word list. Choose Whole phrases (each phrase becomes one word, e.g. customhomebuilders) or Separate words (custom, home, builders). The list then works like any other list in your Lists.
• Check all as .com. Checks every phrase on screen as a .com name in one go.
• A Word Score per phrase, so you can sort the brandable ones to the top.
• Copy the lot. The whole list, one per line, is under "as a list, one per line".

Standard or Advanced?

Most of the time the standard page is all you need: scan, tick, save.

Open Just the Website: Advanced when the list is long and you want to cut it down before saving:

• Dictionary words / Not in the dictionary. "Not in the dictionary" shows brand names, jargon and made-up words. These are often the most ownable names on the list.
• Hide everyday words (Off, Light, Medium, Strong). Hides a phrase when every word in it is an everyday word, like "great", "best" or "service".
• Merge word forms, so shoe and shoes, or run and running, count as one keyword.
• Excellent and good words only, using the same word ratings as our Word Score.
• Length: 1 word, 2 words, 3 or more.
• Found in: only phrases from the title, the H1, the page addresses, and so on.
• Download CSV with every detail: where each phrase was found and how often, its Word Score, dictionary and everyday-word flags, its .com name and full links.

Your filter choices stay in the page address, so a refresh or a copied link keeps them.

When to use it

• Naming a business that already has a website. Scan the site to see which words it leans on, then look for a shorter or better domain built from them.
• Checking a competitor. See which phrases a competitor's site is built around, so your name can stand apart from them, or sit in the same search space on purpose.
• Starting a word list for a niche. Scan two or three leading sites in an industry, save each as a list, and you have a starting vocabulary in minutes.
• Before a List Finder search. If you don't know which topic words to search for, scan a site first and use its top keywords as your List Finder topics.

When not to use it

• For a brand-new idea with no website around it. Start with the Setup Wizard or a topic list instead.
• For a site that blocks bots. Just the Website respects that. Copy the words you need into a list by hand.
• As an SEO audit. It reads one site to find naming words. It does not measure rankings or traffic.

Honest limits

• Scanning needs a free account, and each account can run 10 fresh scans a day. A site someone scanned in the last 7 days comes back from the saved copy straight away and doesn't use up a scan.
• It reads the text of one page: the one you give it. From the sitemap it takes only the page addresses, not the text of every page, so on a large site the deeper pages count through their addresses alone.
• Some sites draw their text with scripts after the page loads. Those can give a short list.
• It finds the words a site uses. Whether a name built from them is a good name is still your call, and the Word Score and a .com check help with that.

FAQ

Do I need an account? Yes, a free one. Scanning reads other people's websites, so we keep it to signed-in members.

Can I scan my own site? Yes. It is a quick way to see which words your site actually emphasises, which is not always what you expect.

Does the site know I scanned it? It sees one ordinary visit from DNSLister's reader, which says who it is. It does not see your name.

Where do saved lists go? To your Lists, like any list you import. You can use them in any DNSLister search.

What's the difference between Whole phrases and Separate words? Whole phrases keeps "custom home builders" together as customhomebuilders, ready to check as a domain. Separate words splits it into custom, home and builders, ready to mix with other lists.
