Good Domain Names Make Your Dreams MemorableTerry Nicholls "What was the name of that website It was good. It has something to do with..." Is your web site like many others Domain names always on the tip of a visitors tongue, but not quite memorable enough Your choice of domain name needs to be easy to remember, as well as focused enough that your visitor will know right away what your site is about. A Few Rules Some rules do apply when deciding on a domain name: Domain names must be at least two characters long but no more than 63 characters, not counting the TLD. You can use any combination of letters, numbers, or hyphens, but you cant use a hyphen as the first or last character. Domain names are not case-sensitive, so my-home-based-business-advisor.com is the same as My-Home-Based-Business-Advisor.com. Choosing A Domain Name Choosing good domain names is almost as important as choosing your actual business see our Startup Ideas page. There are many different schools of thought when it comes to picking good domain names. Some say to choose a short, concise name. Some like numbers in the name, some dont. Hyphens and underscores -- as opposed to words all running together -- are another debated topic. Its mostly a matter of easier reading for your human visitors. Which do you find easier to read myhomebasedbusinessadvisor my_home_based_business_advisor my-home-based-business-advisor Generally, the hyphens between words make domain names easier to read for most people. While search engines dont rank domain names, a keyword-rich name will let your visitors know what your web site is about before they get there. This makes them more comfortable because they know what theyre getting in advance. Also, when you get other sites to link to yours, that link is usually based on your domain name. This means that your main keyphrase which you used as your domain name will be the actual anchor text and search engines do give additional ranking for that. Domain names play a major role in making your dream memorable to the world. Take the time to do it right and your dream of a home-based business will be seen all over the world!
