Some Technical Info:
A domain name is a series of alphanumeric strings separated by periods, such as www.hmco.com, that is an address of a computer network connection and that identifies the owner of the address. Basically, this domain name is entered into a computer and then the computer is given the IP address to that assigned name. They were created to give users a name they could remember for sites so they wouldn't have to type in the IP address which is just a bunch of numbers. It makes things easier on all of us.
Our Top 10 Domain Name Purchasing Tips
1) Keep Your Domain Names Short
No one is going to remember your domain name if it is too long. Remember that you will be telling people your domain name and you want them to remember it when they get back to the computer. Also a short domain name allows for a lesser chance of someone misspelling your domain name and going to a competitor.
2) Don't Use Hyphens in Domain Names
They just don't work when it comes to domain names. Users can't remember them and will end up going to your competitor's sites instead.
3) Don't Stuff Your Keywords
Putting every key word imaginable in your domain name is not going to help your business. It looks funny and people won't go to the site or worse won't do business with the site because they think it is a spam site.
4) Stay away from the .org if you aren't non profit
Most everyone assumes that a .org site is actually a non profit and that can lead to problems. Let the non profits have the .org names.
5) Make sure your domain name isn't confused with something else
Sometimes a domain name says one thing to you and another for someone else. Look at the letters and make sure they don't spell out something you don't want them to. For instance, if you were selling bats and you were proud that you could get a hit with them you might put those two words together...and that would be bad.
6) Don't go with the misspelled domain name
One strategy that people use is to go with a domain name that is misspelled like laons.com. Do you really want this as your homepage? Do you want your business to be based on a word trick? Yes, it might work but the chances are slim and it might be a big waste of time.
7) Don't be afraid to go with a short word that doesn't relate to your business
We've all seen examples of this and how it does work for other businesses. Think about Amazon, Google, Yahoo, etc. They are easy to remember and easy to type.
8) Purchasing a domain name of a famous person doesn't always payoff
This used to be a profitable business strategy. Using a famous persons name as a domain name and then trying to sell it to them. Lately, we have seen where celebrities are just buying something close to that instead and leaving you with nothing.
9) Don't use that extra word
Be careful about purchasing that domain name jklj;now.com or jklj;live.com. Users typically forget to type the now or live and end up visiting a competitor's site instead.
10) Don't spend hours and hours thinking about a domain name
It's not the end all. Put some thought into it and search around but don't think you have to pick the perfect domain name because honestly there isn't a perfect domain name out there.
