Killer Domain Secrets Exposed!

Every website needs a domain name. Example “WebBootCamp.com” is a domain name. Should you use your company name for your domain?

Sssst....it's a Secret

Pick a memorable name. When possible, name your company the same as your domain name. Use keywords in your domain. EXAMPLE: WebmasterNow.com
Good For Starting Sentences, Not Domains
Brand New?
Don’t pick your name as your domain name, unless you’re famous. If you come across a registered domain, it will show you where it was registered. All the great domains are taken. The dirty little secret is, thousands of great domains expire every day! Here’s a handy resource for finding great expired and expiring domains - http://deleteddomains.com - I’ve found some real gems here, like webbootcamp.com, webmastertoolset.com, customoilpainting.com and customoilpaintings.com - all formerly owned and let go, just to name a few.
So if you find an expired (or soon to be expired) domain with high link popularity (many links to the domain), it may well stay that way for some time to come.
For reasons unknown, he shut down the site and let the domain expire. The domain had over 14,000 links pointing to it! The domain got snatched up by Ultimate Search, a hong kong company that registers thousands of domains, and makes money from paid search results. Thankfully, there are automated services to perform this task for us, such as Namewinner.com, Snapnames.com, Expirefish.com, and Pool.com. Let’s say your desired dropping domain is already “back ordered” on Snapnames.com, and Expirefish.com. Big corporations like google can afford to buy all the country domains. For most people, one domain is just fine.
Don’t register domains containing trademarks. Icann (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) oversees the domain registration business. Their URL is http://www.icann.org. Brand Awareness
Capitalize each word of your domain in your sig files and letterhead, and anywhere else you advertise your domain. EXAMPLE: http://www.WebBootCamp.com looks better than http://www.webbootcamp.com
Brand that name! Ready To Buy Your .com?
Don’t let your domain expire! The easiest way to ensure you are sent renewal notices for your domain is to keep your email contact current for your domain. For all my other domain registrations, I use my primary business email address (based on my primary domain, which I will never let go). http://www.WebBootCamp.com/r.cgi?main
