4 Keys to Choosing a Domain Name

Friday, July 10th, 2009

If you want to be successful with Internet Marketing then you almost always need to have your own domains. And for each domain to be successful you really need to choose a good domain name. Here are the 4 keys to choosing a domain name that will be successful.

.com is the Best Extension

If a particular domain name isn’t available with a .com then a lot of people will simply grab the .org or the .net. For example, you might want to get readbooks.com but it isn’t available so you’ll grab the readbooks with any extension that’s available. But this could be a huge mistake.

When people try to return to your site they will almost always type in a domain using the .com and not the right extension. You can lose a lot of business this way. So whenever possible make sure you go with a .com domain name.

Make it Easy to Remember

The next key to choosing a domain name is to make the name easy to remember. This should be obvious yet many people fail to do this. They choose some combination of words that might have meaning to them but doesn’t have any meaning to anyone else. Or they choose words that are confusing so no one can really tell what they say.

Make sure you choose a domain name that is as simple as possible and is easy to remember.

Remember the Traffic

Another key to a great domain name is a domain name that draws in traffic because of its name. For example, if you want to get traffic for making money online then you would love to get the domain name makemoneyonline.com. Just having that name will help you to get more traffic. It will help you rank well for those keywords.

Don’t Get Yourself into Trouble

The final key for choosing a domain name is to make sure you don’t get yourself into trouble. You need to make sure you don’t violate any laws or copyrights with your domain name. For example, you can’t create a sneaker website and call it niko.com. That’s too close to nike.com. and it will get you in trouble.

4 keys to choosing a domain name are to get a .com whenever possible, to make your domain name easy to remember, to grab a name that will help you get traffic, and to make sure you don’t get yourself in trouble. Make sure you follow these 4 keys when you are grabbing a domain name for yourself.
