The Evils Of .com- Myths And Truths About Choosing A Domain Name

The evils of .com- Myths and truths about choosing a domain name
By- Kenneth L. Cluck III
How many tutorials have you found giving tips for domain names? They’re everywhere! But how many of them tell the same exact thing? They always say never chose anything but .com, never use dashes, and make sure it’s easily remembered. There is nothing different about these tutorials. But there are many more things to take into account when choosing a domain name that they don’t cover. That untold information is what this paper is going to tell you.

If you’re targeting people that are looking in search engines it can be pointless to just pick a .com domain. Though if you’re advertising in Newspapers, Television, or the Radio it might help somewhat.

Remember, search engines translate dashes as spaces, so if you’re targeting a popular keyword and use dashes as spaces, than you’re page will be easier to get onto the top ten search results of that keyword. Some search engines put more emphasis on this that others. What I do is own multiple for separate pages that go

together. One domain name that’s realy easy to remember with another used to gain traffic from a search engine, I don’t use duplicate pages all I do is make one site that sort of advertises the other site as what they’re looking for. So, it’s not that you should never use dashes, it’s that you should use them when needed.
3. Choosing a Domain Name
Okay choosing a domain name may be a pain. That’s why I’m going to help you out in this tutorial. Remember, many may prefer that are short but they are not necessarily better. It’s true you don’t want a domain name that’s extremely long but you don’t want it to be so short that nobody can remember it (unless you own a url forwarding service). There are many combinations of words you can use. I highly suggest checking a domain name generator. They can be very useful, you enter a keyword and it displays possible combinations with other words and tells you if they’re available. For this I suggest DomainFellow.com I’ve used their service many times and I am very happy with them.
