postheadericon Top Tips for Choosing a Domain Name

The domain name is a very essential component of your website. The careful collection and key wording of your domain name is one of the most important part of the primary steps in setting up any website. Here are the 5 tips for selecting a domain name.

Get shorter domain name:-

It is always better to select a shorter domain name for your website. Little names are easier to keep in mind than long names. Select something that would make you able to click on for more information.

Keyword inside:-

It is better to place your keywords in your domain name. This is because several people search websites via keywords. Keywords separated by dashes in your central domain name will help you in getting traffic. If you want that your site to be ranked high by the search engines then it makes a big difference, if your keyword is in your domain name.

.com is the best:-

.com is the best expansion to have, if people can’t keep in mind that what they will try. Purchase the others, if they are present and send them.

Expired domains:-

You can search expired domains that are either small, having good names, keywords, or back links. These domain names are similar to gold because the past owners may have put a great deal of effort in getting web traffic. These kinds of domains should be considered if you have an existing domain name.

Put up a parking page:-

After getting a domain name, immediately put up a parking page with keywords and some inbound links. Even if you don?t want to use the domain for several months, old domains have more worth and authority to search engines. You want a set of domain names that?s like a fine wine.

One of the last thing is to see how a domain makes money. Here are two major ways about how a domain will make money. They are both dissimilar in character and need.

Buying domains with the interest to re-sale is one of the major ways to turn a $6 investment into a $10,000 earning. In this class your aim is to buy domain names which have a strong market value based on there size, keywords, and marketability. One good example of this is the LLL. So keep in mind that while doing research asks yourself do I want to park domains or do I want to buy/sell domains?

postheadericon The Author as Brand: Establishing Domain Ownership

You are an author. You have a book to sell. You have a website with which to promote your book. Wonderful. What’s the URL?


If you have read this and asked yourself, “What’s a URL?” then we need to back up a bit.


URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. You will know this better as a “website address” or that string of characters that starts with http://. Like a number on an apartment door, the URL serves as the address for your book’s online home. As the Internet has evolved, many companies have taken on their URLs as their brand. Many have become synonymous with a specific product or entity. When you think of buying books online, for example, you probably think of going to Amazon.com first. When you want to look up information on the Web, you “Google” it.


For any company wishing to establish a permanent online image, the necessity of owning the proper domain (that is, the www-dot-yournamehere-dot-com address) is very important. For corporations like Kraft and GM, it is just another method of solidfying the brand image in the awareness of consumers. By the same token, it is important for an author to take ownership of his name as a URL, regardless of website availability.


Why, you ask? Why would an author with a site hosted by a free third-party space need a URL when one is available through them? Good question.


Oftentimes one will see an author on a budget set up digs on a free server, where all sites are given a special identity attached to their domain. Author John Smith, for one, may have a site on johnsmith-dot-freewebspace-dot-com. In payment for the free usage of space, John Smith will likely have to agree to place advertisement banners on the site, which turn pay for the webspace that John Smith gets for free. One can argue, however, that John’s website is not free, especially if he doesn’t necessarily agree with the banner content.


Having a URL and webspace like this, however, is not the same as having your own website. An author who establishes his name as a URL on a website is capable of an attractive design and point of sale free of distracting advertisements. Moreover, John Smith may not necessarily have to be held to certain Terms of Service as he might for a free website.


Getting back to John’s free site: if the free webspace site does not allow certain types of website content, and John’s book is in that category, he may lose the space altogether, and lose customers.


John may, though, encounter less problems, setting up his own site and URL. Having his own space to work with will give him more freedom in terms of content and promotion. With the fees he pays (and they do not necessarily have to cost a fortune), he eliminates the need for sponsored advertisement, and the URL of his name certifies himself as a brand. Should he decide to print business cards, bumper stickers, or other promotional items, he can use the cleaner www-dot-johnsmith-dot-com address rather than a long, complicated string he had previously used on a free site.


It is important to note, too, that even before you decide to set up shop on the Web that you have ownership of your name as a URL. If you feel your name is especially common, like John Smith, you want to be sure you have it before another John Smith takes it. Furthermore, there is always the likelihood a dubious operation may take control of the URL as either a “parking” site (a webpage full of ads) or for explicit content. There have been instances where certain romance authors forgot to renew their domains and lost them to such users.


When you secure your name as a domain, always keep track of expiration dates, so you don’t lose traffic, or your brand. Using a URL to further promote your book is an excellent way to imprint your name and book in readers’ minds.
