So how does one go about choosing a domain name that can make or break a business???

Of course your domain name should say something about the product/company or industry you are in. You don’t want a domain name like www.cellphonesrus.com if you work with a travel business! Take some time to meditate on your potential domain names. Write them down in several different combinations. Be creative! Keep the name short by using numbers and abbreviations like biz. Use correct spellings though, or you’ll lose people typing it in!

Think about how you’d feel if you saw the domain name. Is it a positive feeling? Does it resonate with you and make you WANT to click it? Then it’s a keeper.

Now, go to www.godaddy.com and do a domain search for your first choice. If its available, then thank your lucky stars and snatch it up! While you are at it, grab the .com,.net,.biz and .info versions too. You’ll use each of them in your promotions.
If your first choice is not available, try adding hyphens between the words. Hyphens help, they do not hurt. For example, if your first choice was www.travelforless.com and it is not available, then try www.travel-for-less.com . You may be pleasantly surprised to find that even your most sought after domain names can often be found by adding the hyphens. The hyphens make your domain name more readable, and therefore, more clickable. Again, buy up the .com,.net,.biz and .info versions as well.
