How To Choose A Domain Name That Attracts The Right Visitors



N


aming your website can be       our website for example: If you   
a lot of fun. I believe         search for a "directory           
that there is, in fact, an      submitter" on Google, low and     
art to it.                            behold you have found             
                                      DirectorySubmitter.com.           
First, choose a name that                                               
describes your site. Try to give      Next, you will want to keep it    
away as much information in the       simple. Try to limit the amount   
title as possible. For example,       of words in your title. Also, I   
title="http://JoesClothes.com"        of hyphens and apostrophes, which 
target="_blank">color="#001000"                       users. http://JoesClothes.com is  
size="-2">http://JoesClothes.com<     easier to remember than /font>
is a good title            href="http://JoesOutfittersandRet 
because it tells us that Joe          ailers.com"                       
sells clothing on his website.        title="http://JoesOutfittersandRe 
This is a better name than href="http://JoesEmporium.com"        target="_blank">title="http://JoesEmporium.com"       color="#001000"                   
target="_blank">http://JoesOutfittersan 
color="#001000"                       dRetailers.com
. Stick  
size="-2">http://JoesEmporium.com     with a title that is concise and  
, which doesn't give       specific.                         
us any insight into what is                                             
actually on the site.                 Finally, if at all possible, make 
                                      your title catchy! A snappy title 
You also want to choose a domain      is more likely to stick in your   
name that is specific enough to       users' heads. Sometimes it can    
be found by a search engine. Take     feel like all the good domain     



names are taken, but that's           of .com's left, and it's worth    
absolutely not true. With a           sacrificing your first choice if  
little ingenuity, you can come up     it means people can easily find   
with an awesome domain name that      you again.                        
will get stuck in their heads.                                          
                                      Let's say you have already chosen 
If you are having trouble finding     a name but it's not exactly what  
a name that is not taken, try         you want. It is possible to       
typing one that is taken into         create other domain names and     
Yahoo! Domains (or any other          have them lead back to the same   
server) to get some ideas that        website. This can be done         
haven't been chosen yet. The          inexpensively and it will open up 
suggestions are usually pretty        more opportunities for visitors   
palatable.                            to find you via search engine.    
                                                                        
Now we come to the age old            The bottom line is that your      
question: "Does it have to be a       domain name is just another tool  
.com?" There are two schools of       to help you generate traffic to   
thought on this. First, you could     your website. A good name can     
say that if you have a                make a big difference to a search 
descriptive name at a .net,           engine. Be specific, descriptive, 
people will still find it through     concise, and clever. These are    
a Google search. This is true; it     the domain names that get picked  
doesn't matter if it's a .com,        up by Google and that stick in    
.net, .biz, or any other.             users' heads.                     
                                                                        
BUT, the truth is, when people        I think Shakespeare's Juliet once 
return to your site their first       said, "What's in a name? That     
guess will always be .com. In my      which we call a rose, by any      
opinion, there are still plenty       other name would smell as sweet". 



A nice sentiment, but Juliet          engines.                          
didn't have to worry about search
