Choose the right domain for you

Keywords

First tip isn’t related to tools at all, it’s about words. Think keywords when you’re picking a domain. Think about what words you want tied to your idea. What is your site going to be about? Is it more than your business name? it was available, had a good keyword in there, was easy to spell…

Spelling

Oh yes, spelling. Nothing worse than a domain no one can spell. Too long, too complicated … mixing zero and the letter “o” … all those things make for bad domains, well except for spelling something entirely else.

Make sure that your domain doesn’t spell something you’d rather not have associated with your company.  Yeah, you’ll become a joke in all Internet marketing 101 classes from now on.

Okay, these are ground rules, things to start off with. Remember: Keywords, spelling, easy, understandable.

Now, for that domain.
