Domain Names: uncomplicated Rules for selecting Smart Names

It is not true that all of the good domain names are taken. You may still be able to register your name, your company name, or someone else catchy Url.

Here are some tips for selecting a domain name:

Keep it short and simple. Long Urls are hard to remember, and citizen are more likely to make errors when keying them in.

Include keywords in your domain name. Quest engines may repaymen you with great placement in Quest results when the keywords are in your Url.

Whenever possible, go for the .com. Many citizen automatically assume that Web site Urls end in .com, and they do not correctly remember other extensions, such as .net or .info.

Try to avoid abbreviations and extra characters in your domain name. Gdbizcents.com would be very hard to give out without spelling it, and citizen won’t intuitively remember or guess it.

Don’t select a name that will be easily confused with other domains. For example, if you want to register domainname.com and find it’s taken, domain-name.com is probably not a good choice. citizen will confuse the two sites.

Your own name could be a good domain name, if it doesn’t lend itself to lots of odd spellings. In the middle of Cathy and Kathy, and all the ways citizen find to misspell Stucker, I figured no one would ever find me. That’s why I came up with IdeaLady.com.

And when putting your domain name in writing: If it is manifold words, especially if it’s long, consider capitalizing, such as I did here with IdeaLady.com. Make it easy to read and understand.
