The 7 Highly Effective Domain-naming Habits
Writing by Blog Marketing Journal on Saturday, December 22, 2007 Leave a comment
I was tempted to write “domaining” in the title but it doesn’t fully describe what I want to say. By domaining we mean. the process of selling or buying domain names. But issue here is choosing how to choose the right domain for a highly successful blog, so I called it domain-naming.
Now that you know domain names matter, it’s time to learn how to identify a good domain name when you see one. Daniel Scocco writes about the 7 Characterics of Good Names and here they are:
1. They are short. The shorter the domain name the better.
2. They are easy to remember. People tend to just memorize domains.
3. They are easy to spell. Do not give them reason to misspell your domain names.
4. They have a .com extension .Go with the most popular extension
5. They are descriptive. Give your visitors idea what your website is about at a glance.
6. They are brandable . People will associate your website with the brand and with the content, product, or service.
7. They don’t contain hyphens or numbers. Such are cheaper for a reason.
Daniel said that “a good domain name will be the corner stone of your website’s success” and I agree. Why do you think Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, or Multiply made it big in the Web 2.0 era?
