| | Domain Name Dos and Donts | | For newcomers to the Web, Ill give a brief definition of a domain name.
Your domain title
is the same as "www.yoursitename.com". Its also known as your URL or Website Address.
For example, www.webmastercourse.com is my sites domain title
or my web address.
The domain name must be registered and approved before you may call it your own. The reason it works this way is because two websites having the same domain title
cannot reside online at the identical
measure
. If someone types in www.webmastercourse.com, he/she will go to my website and no one elses.
Registering your domain title
and awaiting approval gives the registration company opportunity to check with every other company around the world to be sure no one else has already applied for your domain title
"first."
It normally takes 2 to 3 days to receive confirmation of your domain title
.
If you havent registered your own domain title
yet, please take the following tips into consideration before doing so.
Your domain name might
affect the number of repeat visitors to your internet page
.
Heres How:
1. Visitors will only remember your domain title
for a future visit if it is easy to remember.
Which of the two domain names below would you more likely remember?
http://www.webmastercourse.com/ or http://www.web-designer-training-course-part-1-learn.com/
Probably the first one. The shorter the better. Visitors will see the domain name, remember it, and hopefully visit again in the future if the domain title
is simple and to the point.
2. Your domain title
should be directly related to your offer or experience available at your website
.
For example, www.webmastercourse.com is directly related to web design training. In monitoring our web site statistics, Ive noticed that we have many visitors each month who arrive at our internet page
by simply typing in the domain name instead of arriving through search engines, other links, etc. Of course, this was not so at the start. But, as visitors began coming, they began memorizing the domain name and repeating their visits in this fashion.
3. If possible, use a generic name that many people
might would type in without ever hearing about you.
For example, www.webdesign.com is very generic, and I am
sure many many people
simply type this title
in to see whats available in the web design field.
Other "very" generic names I may think of are:
www.soap.com www.cars.com www.boats.com www.computers.com www.calculators.com www.food.com www.pencils.com www.skiing.com etc | | |
