Ten Good Reasons To Register A Domain Name Today 2006-10-08 12:34:00 Lots of people will tell you that you either don't need a domain name or all the good ones are already taken. I don't agree, I find (and register) good domain names on your regular basis, and I think they're more than worth the money (you can register domains for less than $20 per year).1. LONG URLsIf you don't have a domain name for your web site, you'll have a long URL, something like http://members.yourisp.com/~yourcompany or perhaps http://yourcompany.yourisp.com/ Now that doesn't look good on a business card! What's more, your customers and prospects probably won't be able to remember it.On the other hand, if you get your own domain name, you'll have an easy to remember URL, that looks professional and is easy for folks to remember.2.

Dreaming To Sell Your Domain For Millions? 2006-09-28 18:08:00 Each and everyday you hear stories about some name getting thousands of dollars from the buyer. You also jump right into the game of domaining and hope for that lucky day to arrive when someone might get interested in your domain name. Right?
The main problem with newbies over here is that they do very less research and start spending their money on useless names. After 6 months or a year their moral goes down the drain and they are back where they were but with lighter pockets then before.
Some people get into the trademark mess. They get sued by trademark holding company and then they show their temper openly on forums and other message boards.
Some can't even monetize their domains to get the renewal fees for the upcoming period.If you have 4 or 5 domains then you can surely shed the amount from your own pocket. But when the figure goes around 100's and 1000's it is very hard to renew the domains for the future.
My advice to newbies would be to sti Read more:Dreaming
Why Populate Domain Names with Keywords 2006-09-14 11:40:00 A proper domain name is essential to guiding traffic to your website. If your domain name seems entirely unrelated to the topic of your site, then it probably doesn't draw the customer base that you desire. However, adding keywords to your domain name can be a driving force for search engines to top a list with your site for inquirers. Your position on the list of sites found based on a keyword search could be impacted severely by a domain name that does not incorporate the correct information.
Stay On Topic
The way to begin is to make sure that your website stays on topic. In other words, if you decide to sell nail polish, don't get involved in pages and pages of information on nail files. Staying on topic will help you pick out the true keywords that will draw people to your website successfully. If you trick yourself into believing that "nail files" is an important keyword for your site, then you are misguiding potential visitors of your site. Staying on subject keeps Read more:Names

A Little Secret About Public Domain Treasures 2006-09-02 22:13:00 I bet this little secret is going to get you excited…..just like it did me. I just discovered public domain treasures and it's a perfect business opportunity for many new internet entrepreneurs. Did you know there's a little known loophole in US law that allows anyone to distribute, resell or give away expired copyrighted content? Officially, its called public domain, and savvy marketers "borrow" it to publish instant products. Public
domain refers to anything that is NOT protected under US copyright law. This includes all works published before 1923 and under certain conditions, works published up to 1978. A "work" can be anything, a book, movies, plays, songs, photographs, instruction manuals, posters, courses, reports, etc. You could take these works, repackage them and sell them for a profit. By tapping into public domain content, all the nitty gritty work has been done for you. There are almost an endless number of ways that you can make money with public domain cont
Domain Name Strategies Maximize Profits 2006-08-29 11:42:00 Whether you want to come up with your own original name or wish to buy someone else's, here are some strategies for obtaining a profitable domain name.
1. Do It Now!
If you do think of or find a good domain name, don't procrastinate. Register or buy it now! I've thought of a good name, checked it for availability, and then slept on it. When I went to register, the name was gone. Years ago, one of my clients delayed in registering his company name and within a month someone else registered it. The situation is even worse now. There is a lot of domain name speculation going on. Many simply register a name in the hope of selling it later to someone who desperately wants the domain.It's really true in the domain name registration world: If you snooze, you lose.
2. Register Dot Com
There are practical reasons why you should consider registering a dot com name if at all possible.When you go to sell, dot coms generally seem to go for more money than other Top Level Domains. Why is Read more:Domain Name

URL Forwarding: A Simple Way to Obtain Free Web/Blog Hosting Using Your Own Domain Name 2006-08-26 14:35:00 URL forwarding is a very powerful, almost magical, feature that enables your domain name to be transparently redirected to any free web/blog hosting service of your choice. This means, that visitors to your site only see your domain name professionally shown in the URL rather than the long computerized URL name automatically generated by the free hosting site software.
For example:Before using URL Forwarding
, your web/blog URL may look like this- www.freewebostingservices.org/freecustomer/mypages01/index.html
Once you have URL Forwarding in place however, your same web/blog URL will look like this- www.mydomain.com
The basic idea behind this feature is to simply register a domain with a domain name registrar offering URL forwarding services, possibly for free, and then configure it to point to your free web or blog hosting space. You will find details on how to do so on the domain registrar website; although each registrar may have its own system to handle the procedure, the fina Read more:Simple

Domain Name Aging 2006-08-23 09:48:00 Most people are aware of the importance of having the right domain name and that it can help your overall ranking in the search engines.

Learn How To Set Up Your Domain Correctly 2006-08-21 11:52:00 When setting up your web page there are more things to consider than the banners, font, pictures, forums, and colors you employ. In fact, one of the most important aspects of your web page is your domain name. Domains are important because they are the first thing people see in order to get to your site. So, if domains are easy and catchy to remember then more people will visit your site because they will remember your domain name. If you do not have your own domain name, but do use one from geocities or your Internet service provider, you should consider changing immediately in order to make the most out of your web page and whatever products and services you are offering. Registering domains is actually very easy and really does not cost much money in most cases. The cost depends on where you register the domain name, of course, and some could cost $100 while others are even free.

Selecting a Quality Domain Name 2006-08-15 18:12:00 When you're ready to launch your web site and you're trying to select a good domain name, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration. Select a Domain Name that Reflects Your Web SiteAbove all else, your domain name should reflect what your web site is all about. For example, if your web site is about grooming a dog, you certainly wouldn't want to select a domain name like 'mybusinessname.com,' as this would have nothing to do with your web site's focus. You would want to select a domain name that tells the world what your web site is all about -- something like 'doggrooming.com.' Select a Domain Name that Contains Your Web Site's KeywordsAnother consideration of great importance are your keywords. Try to select a domain name that contains your most relevant keyword phrase, as some Search Engines place relevancy on them. A keyword phrase is two or more words that best describe your web page. If your web page is focusing on grooming a dog, your best keyword Read more:Quality
Tips and Tricks To Getting Top Money for your Domain Names 2006-08-13 20:06:00 Would you like to be that lucky person who sells their domain for thousands or even a million dollars? It is possible to find quality domains and resell them for huge amounts of money. The time is ripe for acquiring top domains and selling them. Now that the Internet Boom is behind us, valuable names expire everyday. The best way to find these domains is to use services on the Internet such as DomainsBot to weed out the bad names. Or just check out Hot Lists on sites like Namewinner or Pool. So what makes a "good" domain name? Usually short, single word domains and 2-3 letter .coms, .nets, and .orgs are the best. The more specific the better. These can be hard to come by but when you find them, you can almost guarantee that you can make good money from them. Once you have purchased a nice domain name, get a good appraisal of the name to get an idea of the possible worth (see AppraisalBlast.com). In order to sell your newly appraised name, you have to find a buyer. Here are your basic o Read more:Names

Top 10 Tips For Choosing A Business Domain Name 2006-08-12 02:54:00 1) If you are buying a .co.uk domain name (e.g. newbusiness.co.uk), make sure you also buy the other main TLD's (Top Level Domains) for the same prefix (e.g. newbusiness.com, newbusiness.net). This will ensure that no-one else can come in at a later stage and capitalise on your brand name using another major domain name type. Although there are dozens of TLD types available, we've always purchased the .co.uk, .com, .net and .org variants to protect our brands. There's no harm buying more variants, but do make sure you take care of the important ones. 2) If you do a domain name search and find only the .co.uk is available for your chosen prefix (e.g. newbusiness), it may be worth your while choosing another domain name prefix where most or all of the TLD's are available. We spent quite some time researching suitable domain names before deciding on Bytestart - dozens in fact. 3) It is possible that your small business may grow into different areas of interest, or even change tack alt Read more:Business

How To Avoid Copyright Infringement When Registering Domain Name 2006-08-08 01:38:00 One of the most important aspects of choosing a domain name is that it should be non-infringing. This is not an easy task since most unique names have already been registered. The number of useful domain names from the marketing point of view have become extremely limited. Several companies now register variations of their trademark names as a preventive measure against infringement. For example, check www.coke.com, www.coca-cola.com, and www.coca-cola.com, or try www.3m.com and www.mmm.com. All these factors have led to a crisis of domain names and given rise to increasing cases of infringement of domain names. A number of companies have taken legal action against other companies or individuals over alleged copyright violation on the domain names.There are some fundamental guidelines and cross-checks for selection of a domain name.You must carefully select some names that are relevant to your business model. You must be able to justify your reason for using the name. Your domain regis Read more:Avoid
The Domain Name Free Ride 2006-08-06 21:26:00 Every day thousands of domains 'expire' and are put back into the pool of available domains that anyone can register. They can be very valuable if you are looking for a quality domain for your online business, or if you want to re-sell them for profit. But wait! There is another huge advantage to a domain that was previously owned -- instant traffic!As I said above, expired domains have all been owned by someone in the past. Many of these previous owners built Websites for these domains, advertised them, registered them with search engines, and even exchanged links with other sites. All translating into traffic to that domain name.Now, why would someone who took the time to do all that work let the domain expire? It could be one of several reasons: * the author simply lost interest * an online venture ran out of funding * poor management of the domain * they couldn't afford the feesWhatever the reason, it happens. And you can reclaim some of the wasted traffic and use it to your

Switching to a New Domain Without Losing Your Google Rankings 2006-08-04 19:35:00 You've got a site that needs a new domain. Maybe it's a rebranding issue, or maybe it's a folder or subdomain that has outgrown the current site. There may be dozens of reasons why your currently indexed and well-ranked site needs a new domain name. Unfortunately, Google
doesn't seem to recognize that you've simply changed the URL of an existing site, and ends up subjecting the new domain to the aging delay as if it were a brand new out-of-the-box site. It doesn't seem fair when you've struggled to earn the rankings you have now! You really can't afford to lose the traffic you already have, but there is a real business need for the change. What should you do? Permanent Redirect Not Always the Best Choice Conventional wisdom will tell you to redirect the old domain to the new domain using a 301 "permanently moved" response. This tells the engines that the old URL is no longer going to be used and the new one is the correct one, so that they can update their index with the approp Read more:Switching

How to use Gmail to send and receive mails under your own domain name 2006-08-03 12:42:00 We know that Gmail
is fast and easy to use. It is virus as well as spam free. Gmail is web based and universally accessible. But, for most internet users, the biggest turn off is the fact that you cannot use your own domain
name with Gmail. In fact no free webmail service is known to me which provides this facility as on today. However there is a workaround! You can use the "cool and fast" interface of Gmail and send/receive mails using your "professional" email ID using your own domain name.For that you have to do the following simple steps: 1. Grab a domain name. Register it from any leading registrar · Host the domain on a reliable server · Create an Email account. Say you created yourname@yourdomainname.com · 2. Open a Gmail account say yourname@gmail.com · Now you can set a forwarder in your server to forward all mails coming to yourname@yourdomainname.com to yourname@gmail.com. Thus you are keeping a copy of all incoming emails on your server and sending a copy to your Gma
An Informational Website Provides the Ultimate Flexibility When You Are Ready to Create a Domain Name 2006-08-01 20:39:00 Content is KingIf you provide great content online users will make sure that they can find your website.

This means that you will have to really focus on getting your domain name listed on as many search engines and directories as possible.The other advantage to creating a domain name for an informational site is that most surfers search by typing in phrases and entire sentences into the search engines. A domain name that uses all of the words of a small phrase or sentence will easily filter to the top o Read more:Domain Name
