Domain Names

Many people start blogging without realizing the importance of choosing domain name. They do not put efforts and time in choosing the right domain names, in the end they ended up with irrelevant blog contents and domain names. Having the right domain names could help you getting extra bit of business and visitors to your blog.

A good Domain Name must at least have these keys:

  1. Professional identity
  2. The domain name is related to the post (contents)
  3. Short (only some time long domain name can be good)
  4. Easy to say and remember
  5. Able to get attention from audience
  6. Don’t use numbers in your domain name (unless you can get the alphabetical and numerical versions)

I want to share something very significant in choosing domain name, after you come up with the domain the next thing you must do is to buy the domain. The reason is so it will become yours, but the most important is to get a .com url. The reason is to get easier high traffic, search engine and visitors are more likely prefer a .com most of the time. Only when the .com is not available for your domain then you might buy other url’s like .org, .net, .biz, and so on

You might consider to register your domain in hyphenated and plural version, this is to avoid other people from misspell it and stealing traffic from your blog. As long as your domain is something that people want and easy to spell, you get the right choice!! Don’t rush it, study it first and get going.
