Something You Don’t Know About Getting A Domain Name

How to choose a domain name?

Well, a lot of people having a tough time to choose a good domain name. Especially today, internet is so popular, we think most of the good words is taken. Well, we have good news for you. Internet is so revolution, great “domain name” is up to you to create! Most of the people thought that most of the common name is good name, it’s not! If you check the high traffic and successful website that last for the last ten years, what really stand out? It’s the name that doesn’t mean anything but only define by the online reader such as ebay, yahoo, google, and maybe hoobin someday.

But, there is a But

So our advise is if you want quick result and clarity go for common name that’s is optimize for search engine and also familiarity. But if you want long term result and branding, go for something unique, something look cool and sound good when spell it. But always get your own domain name, because domain name is your virtual asset. Look at cola-cola and yahoo, what really worth the most is their name, it’s the name that people remember after trying their technology, service and product.

Show us some example …

Okay. Now, let look at our first first option, common name format:

www.makemoneyonlinenow.com (bad)
www.make-money-online-now. com (better)

This will optimize for “make money online now” keyword and when people look at the URL, straight away they know what you are doing and what kind of information available in this website.

But for branding example …

www.hoobin.com (great)

it’s doesn’t tell you anything about what is website do! So it’s take more effort to do some explanation and leave some space for reader to define “your service”. It’s really take more time to build this up and we think it’s worth it if you are in this online thing for long term, don’t you?

If you really put in the work, after 5 years later, hoobin.com or unique name will have the most and great value compare to “makemoneyonlinenow.com” and make-money-online-now.com. But it’s definitely more work!

Anyway, most of the affiliate marketer we see use the first option, but it’s does work for them! It’s does work for it’s purpose for making money online because most of the affiliate product they refer have a short life cycle, and they need that traffic straight away using pay per click(prefer) and some search engine optimization keywords.

The main reason is … they want clarity and sales now! They don’t leave any space for abstraction for branding, everything must be clear in the first place when the customer come to the website. “Buy, leave, or getting contact to invite them to come back later” is their strategy. It’s all about pre-sell, closing and landing page.

What to take with you is …

Either way, you must know your objective of your website, choose the domain name that suit your purpose. We hope this guideline will give you a clear choice when come to pick a domain name. If you have any questions or feedback, tell us then. We always welcome thoughtful feedback.
