To examine the top of the list of things is the following. As seen, personally, would you be? Their business and marketing circles for his name and there is an expert in any niche you are targeting, or are you more or less in the background ... a number of things that would, frankly, I would rather people did not know he was doing to do? Do not go into all the reasons, here are a few of them are not high enough and loud. Use your imagination.
Another thing to consider is this. How often is your name? If something like John Smith, for starters, you might have a hard time, if not impossible to purchase this domain, and this is probably already taken. Even a name like Abdul Hakim, if you can believe that this was hit and had Abdul Hakim as my domain name attached. I was surprised when I found this. So imagine how many problems we find a domain name with your name, if there is a common name.
And if the domain is still available, do not seem to be out there with similar names to other people? Do you really think anyone will remember John Doe dot com with names similar to many out there? Sure, you can use the domain, but what is really going to do for your business is at best questionable. This commonality of the name itself is a factor in the decision.
Then there is the issue of privacy in a much more serious. There are many crazy people who do because to them nothing else, try to find out everything about you and make life less pleasant. So before you give your name for all to see, think, or not to put all the nonsense.
There is no doubt that if you try to qualify as an authority on a subject, their names can be very helpful to get a domain. Please note, however, those there downsides to this process and some of them are unpleasant. domain name. "Com. Net,. Org or some other point, which people use in your website.

A group of investors by Jake Weinbaum (the man behind Disney go.com) had paid $ 7,500,000 for the name Business.com in 1999 with the objective of a B2B site showcase. After his release have failed. Yes, a unique name - in short, a sort of descriptive and memorable. There are some label out there, but it's worth $ 7,500,000? This money could have bought a lot of brands for promotion, or whatever name you may have had for ten dollars or a large one or two hundred.
Every year for 15 years, the first is $ 500K in profit after depreciation of the cost of the domain name. That could pay for an excellent affiliate program, a truck full of banner ads and PPC, and a good BMW lease for Mr. Weinbaum (probably not a BMW).
But the Business.com, a wave of speculation in domain names has sparked the mind reeling. People are buying domain names and ransom for entrepreneurs with their eyes open with business plans and dreams of wealth. As a hardcore capitalist, I'll go to the domain name speculation - I'm trying to get the person to make a first man and grab makes the good name of applause, but I'm angry restraint of trade that takes place when it is a person of these children to correct the names.
So when I see the first 50 pages of Alexa, most of them should be easy to remember names, right? Evil I say that only one, match.com, a memorable name describes what is happening on the site.
I keep hearing that the reason for this domain name called are so valuable generic domain names, or descriptive is that some people simply type in the address bar of your browser instead of a search engine. This seems intuitively wrong. I find it hard to believe anyone seeking information about a particular activity in http://www.business.com. Even if I have the first 50 sites on Alexa match.com just watch, remember a simple name describes what is happening on the site.
I wonder how many people actually type in your address bar (address bar?) Instead of using a search engine anyway. I found an answer, but Jupiter Media told me that 64% of people looking for something to use a search engine.
This means that 36% of people use more than one search engine. What makes me believe that people are not typing in the address bar, things went very simple ... this fact by people using search engines in November last year investigated 43% of Web sites for the common, such as eBay. In other words, instead of entering http://www.ebay.com, Ebay, and people on google clicked on a result. This is absolutely hysterical. And totally believable.
What do all these things? They mean that, as far as getting the person who first started everyone in the same place. If your domain name may be the minority of people, only in the address bar of your site without a search engine, a person is worth more than those who can not.
Some of the legendary domain name sales in recent years, according to Zetetic:
sex.com - $ 14,000,000 - 2006
$ 7,500,000 - 1999 - business.com
casino.com - $ 5500000-2003
asseenontv.com - $ 5000000-2002
korea.com - $ 5000000-1999
worldwideweb.com - $ 3500000-1996
altavista.com - $ 3350000-1999
wine.com - $ 3300000-1999
eshow.com - $ 3000000-1999
$ 3000000 - 1999 - loans.com
$ 2,750,000 - 2004 - creditcards.com
All but eshow.com (networks) should be the address bar of traffic, because some people kind of name is descriptive - when I go for things that the search for sex, I like sex. com. When I tried in my head is the return on investment. If you sell something that the networks asseenontv.com $ 25, you have to sell 200,000 of these George Foreman grill, just to pay his domain name.
It occurred to me that if you pay $ 12,000,000 sex.com, free publicity is generated, but probably millions.
So far, all the dollar signs in their eyes and think that you can make a million with your domain name. Here are some examples of the bid price on eBay:
6usiness.com (yes, 6 -) - $ 7,000,000
ajobformom.com - $ 3,500,000
Exbay.com - $ 1,000,000
What does this mean for you? Well, there's some good news and bad. Remember a few paragraphs, when I said that everyone starts at the same place? This is really good news. You can register a domain name is pretty good about content very well with a few simple search engine optimization and buy some keywords or a link exchange and have a good opportunity for people to your site for the first time since the mostly a search engine have failed to notice that your domain name until you get anyway, so your domain name is the same (nothing) for most people using the search engine .
One last thing: if you wait at the top of search results (so-called organic SEO), keywords in the name of your website gives a huge boost. For example, if you are looking for affiliates blog we will show results in the top five. In this case, Google ignores TLD Unless said otherwise. Affiliateblog.info came before us because your PageRank is higher (that is a discussion for another day). So if you are on top of organic search results, which is more important than anyone type your name directly in the address bar (and it may well be true), then yourkeyword.cc or yourkeyword.to . I have, and I suggested the other.
Once the user in the site name should be memorable enough for me just to get this next time or forgot them and Google. I do it every day. No matter how big your name, if the content is bad, not again anyway.
So you should buy a domain name? I do not know - I bought it. And I have honorable mention in the news domain names for the price I paid ($ 2,500). I bought the name because he wanted to, I liked the number of incoming links, and I felt that I have to pay. I've never seen more than a few hundred dollars for a domain, if not paid, and I have over 200 of them. My favorite is undoubtedly Blozzo.com, I just bought today for $ 25. I have an idea in mind and Blozzo scary.
I'll try to get my name before someone else bought it. Here are some suggestions:
1. Try to have a chance. Com is the name of each employee to the Internet. All other top level domains (TLD) like. Org or network remains the only confuse people, unless it sounds better. Com For example, if the network or network file. Net is more natural. If the site is informative, you should use. Information, if it sounds good. One of my favorite domains of $ 10 is seosecrets.info. I think that sounds good. Hands down the most ingenious use of a TLD is del.icio.us, the social bookmarking site. Using. Us TLD is absolutely brilliant.
2. Leave lines and meaningless numbers. If you take thisdomain.net a choice between this-domain.com and thisdomain123.com. "Net. No one remembers the lines or whole numbers, unless they are part of the name and address are studio54.com or books.com.
3. And small letters to describe what is possible. I have Purple Monkey Media Group. Purplemonkey.com would be perfect. He did, of course. Purplemonkeymedia.com was not. I packed. I could have taken purplemonkeymediagroup.com, but it was too long. Remember, each additional letter misspelled potential.
4. If you have a domain name should be strengthened in order to have good get logo and sprinkle generously on your site, along with some slogan that will reinforce the name in the minds of men. You will be amazed at how it can be profitable.
5. If you can save some money with your domain name or by purchasing a domain name, cheaper to do it and get the money placed higher in search results or Ad sense placement.
6. If you do not come with a descriptive domain name goes in the opposite direction. Depending on the focus of your website, choosing a short memorable name that stick in the minds of the people, get a great logo and name prominently in advertising and marketing. It is called the mark, and is tried and true.
7. Ask your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, dog, lawyer, partner, mother, father, cousin, uncle, the police chief, writer of the blog. I'm smarter than that anyway, and what you are going to the site, do not take care of you. Some of my best ideas directly or somewhere with my wife and just brainstorming.
Here's the bad news: It can be a bit "to take with the correct name that's more good news, however - in the domain names in the real world most sold for $ 1,000 or less ..
Unable to start? - For a site that sells domain names (in this case is mine) go, and a word that describes your business. To see if the name is taken (probably). Open your word processor or thesaurus.com go and put the word to get a few more words. Check this. If there is one. With available and looks good, grab it. Otherwise, add the word website or blog, or online at your word and see if it works. Do not wait. If you think it would be helpful costs $ 9.00. I came with blogduck.com. I liked it. I decided to think a little more. "Someone grabbed him by the afternoon. Just Lose U.S. chisel nine U.S. dollars (or less) and the domain.
If you want something a little "difficult, there are several websites that help you well, a name, and as DomainsBot Nameboy.
If you draw a blank, or go to Afternic and Sedo to see what's on sale. Find a word that describes what you think people connect with the name of your site and see what it looks like. This can give you an idea.
