How to Choose a Good Domain Name.
In the E-World your domain name is your first assessment of what
your site is about. It's not just your site name but it is the
first criterion of your success on the Internet and when it
comes to a point of success you must hold it tight. It can make
your business stand out in the crowd, or just float aimlessly in
space. Well many of us think that it merely plays any role but
it's not the truth. Think if nobody remembers your site name or
see no visual look of what your site is about.
The temptation of a good domain name is so powerful; that's why
some companies even paid ridiculously high prices to get the
name they want. The domains Loans.com and Wines.com were both
bought for $3 million each. Telephone.com was acquired for $1.75
million, while Bingo.com sold for $1.1 million.
So the main question is, what points we should consider when we
choose a domain name. For better results, your domain name
should be memorable and easy to remember. Remember the following
tips when creating a domain name.
* The domain name should be short. * The domain name should be
simple. * It should be suggestive of your business category. *
It should be unique. * It should be easy to interpret and
pronounce. * It should be personalized. * It should not be
difficult to spell. * It should not be difficult to remember.
Domain names can be registered through many different companies
(known as "registrars"). You can register for 1 to 10 years -
prices can vary anywhere from $10 to $20 per year. Most web
hosting companies, will handle the registration process for you,
but make sure that you are properly listed as the owner of the
domain when it is registered.
If you have registered a domain name for a specific period, make
sure you renew it in time. You can be surprised at the number of
cases, where site owners have let a domain name slip by if they
have not renewed in time.
How to use expired domains:
Did you know you can use expired domains to skyrocket your
traffic? Let me tell you about expired domains first. Thousands
of webmasters invest time, effort and money to promote their
site and build up traffic. Many of them then lose interest and
move on, leaving their site active. That means that although
they still own the domain, they're not actively promoting it.
All the automatic marketing systems they've put in place are
still bringing in traffic. The site runs itself. Now, at some
point the ownership of those domains is going to expire. If you
snap up those domains once they come back onto the market,
you've got a pre-built stream of customers. You can either
rebuild the site, or redirect the traffic to your domain. You
could set up an affiliate program get paid for users someone
else paid for.
Its that easy.
Websites such as www.expiredtraffic.com or
www.deleteddomains.com are doing great job for expired domains.
They actually do all the legwork and let you reap all the
rewards. Even you can back-order a specific domain name also.
Do be careful when using other sites though. There are some
swindlers out there that will sell you subscriptions, provide
you with outdated lists, take your money and keep the good
domains for themselves.
There are tons of options, and lots of easy ways to make lots of
money with very little effort. Opportunities like these are
everywhere. All we need a strong determination to succeed, and a
good mentor.
