Choosing The Right Domain Name

confused about domainsPicking a domain name can be difficult, so many of the good domain names have been taken; it takes a little creativity to come up with a good one these days. If you just stumbled across this GoDaddy Promo Code and are trying to pick a domain name for your new site, here are some quick tips:

Make Your Domain Name Relevant To Your Site This one should be obvious, but I often come across websites with domain names that have nothing to do with the content on the site. This will not only confuse your users, but confuse the search engine crawlers and make your site harder to find.

Choose a domain name people will remember joeysmithswebsiteaboutbluegrassguitarmusicthatsellssheetmusic.com might perfectly describe your website . . . but no one will ever remember that URL. The point of a good domain should be that it’s easy to remember. Joeysbluegrass.com would make a much snappier domain name that your visitors will be likely to remember, which means they will be more likely to come back.

Don’t be too general or too specific An example of a domain name that is too general is newjerseyplumbing.com. Domains like this will always be taken because good general domains are almost all already purchased. A domain that’s too specific would look something like this: zekesplumbingshopintrentonnewjersey.com. This is hard to remember and conveys too much info. Try something in between, like trentonnjplumbing.com
