Buy Domain Names - 3 Tips To Help You
There's a belief that you can never really lose money if
you invest (wisely) in real estate. As the saying goes
"they're never going to make more land". When it
comes to the internet, having domain names is owning
online real estate and that's why despite all the free
resources online you should buy domain names... as
many as you can.

But, just like real estate, not all domain names are
going to be equally valued, some will be worth more
than others. To pick out a good domain name, which
will enhance not only your business but how much you
could sell the website for down the road, is something
of a science. There are a few elements you should
consider when you buy your domain name:

1. The first thing you need to do is to identify the niche
your new website will be in. What product or service
will you be promoting? Once you've figured that out
you should do keyword research to find a list of great
keywords that get a lot of searches every month.
Those keywords should be the domain name. For
example, if my site was on dog grooming and I found a
great keyword: dog grooming clippers. Than I would
try to get a domain name something like: dog
grooming clippers.com.

This is a great way to get a lot of traffic to your website
for free. Why? Because you already know from your
keyword research that the term dog grooming clippers
gets a lot of monthly searches, so many of those
searches will be sent right to your website since that is
the domain name. This one step can help you get a lot
more targeted visitors for free.

2. There are a lot of places online where you can buy
domain names. GoDaddy, DomainCheapsters are two
of the most common, and one's I've personally used. If
you want to find more just visit some internet
marketing forums and ask for opinions, or do a search.
Domain names are inexpensive usually around $10 a
year at the most. Many sites offer sales or multiple
domain discounts. I know at DomainCheapsters if you
buy 6 or more at a time they are around $6 to $7
depending on the extension you get.

3. There is a lot of conflicting opinions about whether
or not you should get any domain with a different
extension such as .net or .org for example.
Personally, I will use a .com, .net or .org. I've found
that any of them work very well for my needs and .net
are quite cheap. You'll have to find what works best for
you, but you need to remember something: many
people will say that customers will forget a long URL or
a different extension, which is true, but how do you
target the majority of your customers?

If you aren't handing out business cards and expecting
them to type in the domain name than it's not such a
big issue. Most of the traffic I get is either from
searches or from online marketing and in all cases my
website visitors just have to click on a link which is
why I think having different extensions hasn't had a
negative impact on my business.

Take the time to establish your internet presence, don't
get fooled into thinking that going the 'free' route with
a blog is the best way to go. If you don't buy domain
names and rely solely on the free services you don't
actually own your fair share of internet real estate and
you don't present a professional image.
