Choosing a domain name is like choosing the name of one of your Children. It is important because you and your customers will be using this name every single day.
So what are the things to keep in mind when choosing this Internet identity?
* If you already have a company name, you will want to try and include it in your domain name.
* Your domain name should be descriptive of your website and what it offers.
* Include keywords that you would like to rank for in the search engines. include at least one keyword but if possible 2.
* keep the domain names as short as possible. by doing this it will keep down the misspellings as well as make it easier for your prospect to remember and to type it in.
* Go with the .com option. it is the one that most people try when they are searching for something. It also gives the idea you have been around alot longer.
* Register your domain name for at least 2 years or more. Search engines like to see that you plan on being around a while.
* Register common misspellings and point them all to your main website.
Once you have come up with a few options go to a domain registrar and type them in to see if they are available. I like to use GoDaddy because they have been around a long time and have given me good customer service.
If the domain you chose is not available then the registrar will usually give you some other ideas. Use those ideas to brainstorm more options.
By taking the time to choose a great domain name, you will be taking one of the steps in laying a firm foundation for your online business.
