Why do I absolutely need a Domain Name?
by Glen Hopkins
Over the years a common question that I am repeatedly asked by
new internet marketers is, Why do I positive 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, understanding why you need your own domain name is
crucial to your online success.
Lets start 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 may tell them your domain is something
like. "www.PreciousPets.com" Doesnt that sound a lot more
professional and easy to remember? Oh, and by having your own
domain title
you also get your own e mail address. So now instead
of proverb
, "You might
contact me at John070368@hotmail.com" You might
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 title
may also drastically increase your visitors
volume. How you ask? Many search engines will only add
you in
their results if you have your own domain title
. This cannot be
overlooked. You NEED to listed in the results of search engines.
After all, to get customers, they positive 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 name 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 business
it would cost a
fraction of a PENNY! I think you get the photo
