1. Shorter is definitely better. A shorter domain is much easier for people to remember and thus visit. 2. Make sure it is easy to spell. This is very important as you don't want your potential customers not visiting your website because that can't spell it. 3. Avoid numbers and dashes. Most people are not going to remember these unless you have a very good reason to use them. 4. Be creative. Try to pick something that describes your website in a fun way. 5. Avoid trademarked names. Stay away from variations of existing businesses. This includes misspelled words, and abbreviations. 6. Try to eliminate misunderstandings. Make sure your website is easy to pronounce over the telephone. 7. Try to get a .com. This is the most common website. Stay away from .info and .me 8. Don't try intentional misspellings as clever as they may be. People will not remember them and be frustrated when they can't find your site. 9. Check for domain availability. A lot of times your first choices will already be taken. Don't start making plans around a name you haven't even checked for yet. 10. Try to include keywords. This will without a doubt help your search rankings and therefore bring more traffic to your website. |
