Choose the Right Domain name
Choosing the right domain name can make or break a blog. It makes sense to spend some time and choose the right one so it can be a Blog you can be proud of. Here are some tips to make a good domain name choice.
Easy to Remember. A domain name that is simple and straightforward makes it easy to think about. A Blog that is easy to remember makes it more likely to be clicked.
Easy to Type. A one word domain name is better than two words, two words better than three, a three word domain name better than four. The easier it is to type the better, and the shorter the better.
Suit Your Niche. A Diet Blog doesn’t work with a car niche. Antiques and skin care really don’t go together. In the same way the content of a Blog and its domain name need to match.
A Domain Name is Forever. I like to think of choosing a domain name like a marriage. A marriage is generally for long term benefit for both husband and wife. That is the way to think of a domain name. Think of it like a long term relationship.
Visitor Experience. How do you want a reader of your Blog to
feel? Maybe you want them to be informed, maybe entertained, how about feeling humorous. Think of the visitor experience when people visit your Blog. It would be great if they enjoyed themselves and had a good time at your Blog.
Build a Brand. A domain name is part of the overall brand of a Blog. It has value. it takes time to build a great Blog and part of this process is building a brand.
Take some time to pick a good domain name. Blogging is not something to slap together overnight but a long term virtual asset to steadily grow.
