Get the Right Domain Name for your Online Business

Buying the right domain name for your website can have a big impact on your online success. In fact it can be the one thing between making your online business opportunity a roaring money making machine, or a major flop. The problem is different people have different views on what works best… You’ve got those who love the short and snappy domains like tips4u.com. That sort of thing. The benefit is people remember your website address easily and you can build up a bit of brand loyalty if it’s quirky enough. Plus there are no long, complicated words for people to misspell.

Then there are the eager beavers who keep an eye on what Google loves. And they say the search engine ranks you higher if you use a longer domain name so long as it matches what your website’s about i.e. secondhandandusedcardsforsale.com. Alternatively you can cover your bases and go for the long wordy ones to keep up with Google and then shorter ones for people to type in. The online traffic will all come to your same site anyway.

One place we know has over 150 different domain names… That’s probably a little bit excessive to be fair. Two to four is probably enough. One last thing if you’re planning on registering a domain name, try and get both the co.uk and .com as well. It’ll protect your idea and helps a bit with the old search engines as well. Honestly, if you want to make money online it really is worth the extra (minimal) expense.
