This can help differentiate<br \/>\n your site and heighten the recall factor<\/p>\n<p> You can think up many catch-phrases for domain<br \/>\n branding, how about &#8220;CowJumpsOverTheMoon&#8221;,<br \/>\n &#8220;MakeLoveNotWar&#8221;, &#8220;SaleOfTheCentury&#8221;, etc?<\/p>\n<p> But it&#8217;s important that the phrases you use is<br \/>\n aligned to your business, you wouldn&#8217;t want to<br \/>\n use a domain like CheapAndGood.com when<br \/>\n you&#8217;re selling high end premium products,<br \/>\n it just doesn&#8217;t gel!<\/p>\n<p> == KEYWORDING ==<\/p>\n<p> An important and smart approach to selecting<br \/>\n domain names used by many marketers is to<br \/>\n create the domain based on rich keywords<br \/>\n relating to their businesses. The reason behind<br \/>\n this lies in the fact that it helps enhance search<br \/>\n engine rankings, especially pay-per-click listings<br \/>\n which is essentially a bidding on top keywords.<\/p>\n<p> As an example, if your site deals with golf<br \/>\n improvement, you may want to identify your<br \/>\n main keywords and come up with a domain<br \/>\n like &#8220;improve-golf-lower-scores.com&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p> My personal example is my ezine site at<br \/>\n http:\/\/www.Marketing-Make-Money.com<br \/>\n which utilised the keywords &#8216;Marketing&#8217; and<br \/>\n &#8216;Make Money&#8217;<\/p>\n<p> == EXPIRED AND EXPIRING ==<\/p>\n<p> A wonderful method of grabbing quality<br \/>\n domain names is by registering domains that<br \/>\n had expired or will be expiring!<\/p>\n<p> Thousands upon thousands of domains are<br \/>\n expiring every other day and getting a good<br \/>\n one is real possible<\/p>\n<p> Try this site http:\/\/www.DeletedDomains.com<br \/>\n to source for such domains, I grabbed<br \/>\n http:\/\/www.UltimateEbooks.com from their list<br \/>\n the last time I did a search<\/p>\n<p> == BUYING ==<\/p>\n<p> This option is a little more costly and risky but<br \/>\n you&#8217;ll have a better chance at finding a domain<br \/>\n that you really want.<\/p>\n<p> There&#8217;re three main ways to go about this :<\/p>\n<p> 1. Email the webmaster of the existing domain<br \/>\n about your interest and intention<\/p>\n<p> 2. Bidding and buying at domain auction,<br \/>\n sale sites like http:\/\/www.Afternic.com; or<\/p>\n<p> 3. Typing in the name you need and you may<br \/>\n land on a &#8216;for sale&#8217; page<\/p>\n<p> Here are also Three domain registrars that charge<br \/>\n less than $10 for each domain name registered<br \/>\n through them (no hidden charges).<\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;ve personally used and tested them with my<br \/>\n own domain names and they&#8217;ve proven themselves<br \/>\n to be reliable and provide quality services.<\/p>\n<p> Why spend more when you can save more?!<\/p>\n<p> http:\/\/www.Namebargain.com<br \/>\n ( a division of Register.com)<br \/>\n http:\/\/www.GoDaddy.com<br \/>\n http:\/\/www.GKG.net<\/p>\n<p> Can you STILL Win the domain name game?<\/p>\n<p> You bet You can!<\/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>Are you having sleepless nights thinking of the right domain name for your online business?
