Lets be clear from the very beginning, this will be your most important decision, it is not choosing the web host, because web hosts if you are not happy with them you can change, even if it is a hassle!\u00c2\u00a0 The domain, is not so easy, imagine Google, deciding to change the domain google.com to something else, how many people do you think would follow them?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So if you agree that domain is one of the most important decisions you are going to take, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s continue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The two rules, not to forget, COM is better, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> the smaller the better, I have a customer who registered the following domain: <span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\">globaltrustassetmanagement.com <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\">Yes this domain is like 30 letters, if you have to type it on your browser, it will be a Herculean task!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;\">So a domain with 6 to 12 letters is perfect. <\/span><span style=\"color: black;\">Hosting-marketers.com I registered when I did not know as much as I know now\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;\">Lets go to the basics, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to give you an example, actually this example is from last night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;\">Last night chatting with my brother in law, I realized that he wanted advice for a web site and to which affiliate program he should join, an example of a web site with reviews of furniture came up. I gave him a short lesson using a blog and explained that even with a blog a person could make money, between a furniture web site and a blog with new content every day, most probably when a consumer searched the net for some product they will be directed to the blog and not to the main website.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;\">Then we talked about solar panels. Now the important part is coming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;\">When we talked about solar panels I made a search on Google for solar panels affiliate programs, it came out a very nice site from San Diego which offers its affiliates 10%. I searched Google again for sites with solar panels, they have on their database less then 6 million web sites, the first and second position is occupied by sites like wikipedia.org so they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t count, they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sell anything! Then on the 4 and 5<sup>th<\/sup> position is site who sell, this is the ones we have to worry. So I made a 15 minutes research, the site on the 4<sup>th<\/sup> position, is difficult to beat, but the 5<sup>th<\/sup> position is good news, how?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;\">First I went to http:\/\/tools.marketleap.com\/publinkpop\/\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><span class=\"mlheadsub\">Link Popularity Check,\u00c2\u00a0 the 5<sup>th<\/sup> site as only 134 back links that Google knows about, then I checked the Page Rank that Google gives to that web site, a mere 5. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"mlheadsub\">So if we made a site work on it to get 200 back links in some time we will be on the 5<sup>th<\/sup> position ourselves!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"mlheadsub\">Next step I went to Overture\u00c2\u00a0 http:\/\/inventory.overture.com\/d\/searchinventory\/suggestion\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"mlheadsub\">and checked solar panel, it came up on the month of September 2006 56000, this is really good and please note SOLAR PANEL not solar panels, actually solar panels came up only about 2000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"mlheadsub\">So I had a nice niche market, I decided to try a little further and I went to whois.org to check if I could find a nice combination of solar panels to go for a domain. What is my surprise that panelsolar.org is available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"mlheadsub\">It isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t COM from rule one, but still it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not bad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"mlheadsub\">Anyhow I bought the domain yesterday, and lets see what happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span class=\"mlheadsub\">I hope that this short article, gave you some insight on how to buy a domain.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you ever decide to start a website then you certainly will be in need a domain.
