Why do I absolutely need a Domain Name?
by Glen Hopkins

Over the decades a common question that I am repeatedly asked by
new internet marketers is, Why do I need a domain name? It is an
important question that we have all asked before.

If you are relatively new to this wonderful thing called the
internet, knowledge why you need your own domain name is
crucial to your online success.

Lets initial with a simple a simple example. Youre at a party
doing a little networking. You meet a person who shows interest
in your pet care business and they inquire of , "What is your URL?" To
which you reply something like,
"www.geotowns.com/heartland/carlisle/854534/"

Now my question is, do you really think they remembered that? If
they did, do you really think they got the impression that you
are operating a serious and reputable business? I doubt it.

Can you fix it? You bet. Buy your own domain for less than 2
cents a day! Then you might tell them your domain is something
like. "www.PreciousPets.com" Doesnt that sound a lot more
professional and brain friendly to remember? Oh, and by having your own
domain name you also get your own electronic mail address. So now instead
of proverb , "You might contact me at John070368@hotmail.com" You can
say, "You can contact me at John@PreciousPets.com"

But hang on, there is more. For that measly 2 cents a day having
your own domain name may also drastically increase your traffic
volume. How you ask? Many search engines will only add you in
their results if you have your own domain name. This cannot be
overlooked. You NEED to listed in the results of search engines.
After all, to get customers, they absolutely need to be able to find you!

In conclusion having your own domain name will...

- Increase you Professionalism
- Make your URL more Memorable
- Give you your own Email Address
- Help get you listed in the Search Engines
- Increase your Traffic levels

I firmly believe that your own domain title is one of the best
investments, if not THE best investment, you may contruct in your
site. After all, I doubt 2 cents a day will break anyones bank.
Oh, and after you expensive it to your company it would cost a
fraction of a PENNY! I think you get the picture. To purchase
