How Important Is Your Domain Name?

Unlike a rose, a domain name by any other name doesn't smell as sweet.

Time and effort to come up with a great name that will send traffic to your website is a key element in the success of your web design.

Here are some tips:

Pick a name that is catchy, short and easy to remember. You want one that can not be easily misspelled. For example, if you are considering a website name "GO FOR YOU"- you do not want it to be "GO4U" and take the time out to explain it is the number four and the letter "u". You can see the many variations that may confuse visitors from ever getting back to your page.

Consider words that trigger the memory. One way is with rhymes: HairFlare, FlowerPower or GreatRate. Another is to tack your product on already well known phrases such as EasyCareHair, DeepDownDuds or TheJoyofJewelry.

".com" of course is the one people will try first. If not, ".net" is becoming just as well known. See if the most popular domain indicator is already registered

Try adding on common adjectives such as "-ster" or "-moz" . If your website name is plural, try adding a "z" or and "x" instead of an "s". But again, keep it simple to easily jog the memory.

Remember when "AAA" was popular because it guaranteed your company would get first listing in the phone book? Well, at least that was the trend fifty years ago. Finding a domain name that will pop up high on the search engines uses the same idea.

Utilize a good domain register finder program. Your web designer can show you how. Bottom line, if you cannot get a .com or a .net, then reconsider your name. There are already too many out there that your competitors are using and the last thing you want do is to attract your customers to them.
