  30. Registering Domain Names by Peter Gitundu

    Domain names are one of the most important aspects of your website. A good domain name will enhance your business as people get to recognize and identify with your organization.





Coming up with a domain name is not a difficult task, but have you considered whether it is appropriate enough for your affiliate business in the long run? Your domain name is the web address you conduct your business at and where your potential customers will find you on the internet. It is like your brand name, so it is very important to get your domain name right from the beginning. You wouldn't want to change your domain name halfway and risk losing the reputation and branding advantage you have established over time right?

A domain name is the part that comes after the "www" of a web address. For example, an address with http://www.abc.com has "abc" as its domain name and .com as its extension. A domain name can be a combination of letters and numbers you create, as long as it is not registered under someone else's name already. No spaces are allowed in a domain name, but hyphens (-) are acceptable. Some people have their websites as http://www.a-b-c-d.com. Usually domain names will end with extensions like .com, .net, .biz, .org.

Put these 5 great tips to good use when choosing a domain name for your affiliate website!

1) Think of a domain name relevant to your business

You may be marketing a skin care niche. Think of the possible keywords that are associated with the niche you are promoting and come up with phrases that are straightforward and can reflect your affiliate product. For example, domain names with words like "wrinkles-no-more" or "skin-solutions" would be quite relevant and appropriate for the niche you are promoting. Choosing a very good keyword rich domain will also help your website rank better with search engines.

2) Keep your domain name short, but memorable

I always like domain names that I can remember off-hand easily. It goes to show that it is short enough, but yet able to leave an impression on the visitor without even the need to bookmark it. If your domain name is less than 20 characters, most people will find it easier to remember and the chances of misspelling your website is much lower if they want to return to your website another day.

3) Keep the spelling of your domain name grammatically correct when possible

It is not advisable to have fancy spelling for domain names. What I mean is using something like our mobile sms message jargon. Your visitors may find it difficult to pronounce and spell and it is not easy to remember. For example, visitors may find http://www.3littlepigzzz.com more confusing than http://www.threelittlepigs.com.

4) Try to avoid letters or numbers that may be interpreted wrongly

Letters such I and number 1 sometimes look so similar that people might read them as the reverse. Letters O and number 0 gives the same problem as well. Try not to put these confusing letters in your domain name, unless it is very relevant to your website and has some meaning of its own. Otherwise your visitors may go to the wrong website to see an error page and be mistaken that the link does not exist at all.

5) Choose the more commonly used domain extensions

I would recommend .com if you are not sure what to get. Most people will associate a website with .com more than anything else! However, many .com domains are usually taken up, especially the more popular ones, but if you can work around with a domain name that is close enough, a .com will look more credible than a .biz or .info.

You can check the availability of your preferred domain names before you even take it up. Create a list of domain names that are modelled after these 5 tips and I'm sure you can find a winner that nobody else has thought of and registered yet!


Internet marketing is probably the most dynamic job that anyone can wish for today. In Internet marketing, people get to promote people online, in an extremely different marketplace, where tastes come and go, and where you cannot predict who is accessing a website at the other end of the world. Internet marketing is highly volatile as well: what is today's apparently big trend might be tomorrow's major dud, and what is tomorrow's major crowd drawer might be yesterday's corny joke. Moreover, the Internet is a highly dynamic environment where people are linked closely to one another, so that once news about something leaks onto the Internet, it can spread like wildfire in mere minutes. This means that if you have something good to offer, the world can know about it instantly - but if you have a bad name building up for yourself online, people will shun you even before you step out onto the Internet arena.

In order to best market yourself, you will need a good website that is well designed and easy to navigate. You will also need to have a good domain name that will separate you from everyone else and make you unique. This domain name has to be registered with a domain name registration service in order for you to formally pay your fees, and for other potential domain name buyers to recognize that the domain name is already your own and can no longer be bought. As an Internet marketer, you may need to find the best domain name registration service around, as there are now many domain name registration services available.

First of all, do you need only a domain name, and to register it, or do you also need web hosting space? Some web hosts also offer domain name registration, and because these hosts need to make a living, they are tied up with reliable domain name registration services. You can take advantage of these packages in order to find a package that will allow you to save money in the end, and still have the domain name registration that you need. However, make sure that the same hosting service also has good amenities and features to go with its hosting plans: although some hosts will offer you a lot of web hosting space and domain name registration, you might have only one or two years to keep the domain name before it expires and you have to pay another fee.

Second, what domain name extension are you going to apply for? Are you going to get a dot com, dot net, dot org, dot biz, or a country extension? For some hosting and domain name registration services, the fees will be the same no matter what your domain name extension letters are. However, for some exclusive domain name registration services, a country extension can be more expensive. You will need to scout for the lowest prices for the domain name extension that you want in order to get the best bargain for you.

Take note, moreover, that some domain names can be more expensive than others because speculators believe that they will be bought by more affluent companies, thus bringing the domain name registration service more money. This brings us to the third qualification for a good domain name registration service: you will need to have a list of possible domain names with you, and then look for these domain names and their prices through the domain name registration service's search engine. You will need to see which the best domain is for the best price in order to get a better bargain. Prices will differ from one registration service to the other, so you will have to look through as many services as possible until you find the best price.

Lastly, do not settle for the first domain name registration service that you find. There are virtually thousands of registration services online, and you can have your pick of all of them through your favorite search engine. All that you need to do is to be wise enough to know which one offers the best prices, and for your country or the domain name that you would like to have registered.

These are only a few tips that you can follow as you look for domain name registration services. For more information, do your own research and talk to your fellow Internet marketers about their own domain name registration experiences.
