Choosing The Right Domain Name For Your Website !

Selecting the right name for your website is the most
important step you can take when starting your own
business. The name will tell people what you have to
offer and will help them decide if they are interested
in looking further.

There are several ways you can select your domain name
to bring in your customers. If you are starting your
first website you may feel overwhelmed by the many
choices that you have to make. Make yourself a list to
help you get started.

First of all you want to write down all the products
or services you will be offering. Determine what age
group or groups these products would benefit the most.

After you determine these factors, choose your name
that will combine both the products and the age group
to create a successful domain name.



When you create your name you need to convince others
to visit your site by domain name marketing. How you
market your domain name may be through visiting sites
that offer similar products or pay for an
advertisement on another popular site.

Some of the customers who visit the well established
website will see your ad and click on it. Usually the
ad does not cost very much to advertise for one month.
Do your research to see who offers a better deal.

You may also want to try email marketing. Sending
emails to everyone you know can increase your traffic
to your website and increase your sales. Offer
discounts for every customer they bring to your site
as an incentive to visiting your store.

Ads offline work well to get some people that
you might not get otherwise. Placing ads offline and on
can really help you to get the word out about your
website.

Do not forget to do a press releases to get the word out
about your new website. What a great way to let other
people know about your new website.

Choosing a domain name is an important step when you
are doing a business online. It tells people what you are all
about. Choose wisely.

How did you choose your domain name? How did you get
the word out about your website or blog? Leave us a note
that way we can all learn.

Hello Giovanna,

Yes, it is important to have a good domain name. Are people drawn to it.
Does it help them to want to check out that website because it has a cool domain name?

Have a good day.

Hi Dan & Deanna,

Great information for selecting the right domain name! It is best if the domain name and the business name are the same...but the selection of names is narrowing.

Your points about off line ads and articles are great additional suggestions for getting the word out!

Thanks for your informative post!

Hello Peter,

Domain names are very important. It would be nice if you can get the domain name and the business name the same.

Marketing online and off really does help with business. Article marketing as well. They are great ways to get the word out about your website and getting traffic to it.
