Why you MUST get a domain name NOW

 

YOUR domain name is the most important thing in your Internet business!

It must attract the attention of both surfers and the search engines. You need to get the best one you can as soon as possible - whatever business you plan to have.

Here you will discover:

• How to use your new domain name without a web site or web host


• Why not to use free hosting services


• Where to get a domain name

The best way to be successful on the Internet is to have your own business. Some people think they can make money just with affiliate programs, but even to do that you need your own web site.With your own business, you can add affiliate programs to give you some extra products to sell. Whether its your own business or affiliate products, you need a domain name.

A domain name comes before the web host

A domain name is the name of your website, such as:

www.johndoe.com or

www.yahoo.com

The domain name is not :

• Just the name of your firm, as it might seem to be if you're used to off-line businesses.
  

It is much more, including:

• Your company slogan
• Corporate identity
• Showroom
• Permanent advertisement and
• Sales literature

Why is that? Because when search engines look at your site to decide whether to list it, they include keywords in the domain name in deciding whether your web site should be listed.

You need Keywords in the domain name

Keywords are words like internet marketing, domain names, email, which surfers put in when they want to find something - keywords can also consist of several names.

So the domain name is very important. Do NOT use your own name as your domain name unless you are very famous. Of course, Silvester Stallone can use his name as his domain name - it's his trade mark, but it's a waste of space to do so if you're John Smith or Bill Edwards or John Hartley.

Register your name - not as your business!

But....do register your name! One day you might be very, very famous, and you will want to use it for a web site. In any case, it prevents anyone else from using your name as their domain name. It costs very little to register a domain name so do it - but get your business name first.

Now easier to get a good top level name

The best domain names are .com names - these are called top level domains.

Recently, it became much easier to get a good top level domain name because the number of characters permitted was increased from 23 to 67. Therefore there are millions of combinations available that weren't available before.

In any case, it is surprising how many good names are still available. You won't find:

www.internetmarketing.com or
www.internet-marketing.com

But you will find many other combinations that include good keywords. Choose fairly short names that are easy to spell, and which are easily understood over the phone.

Should you use hyphens or not? Well, surfers don't like them, but search engines do, so the best thing is to get both, and use one to redirect to the other, which is the actual site.

If you're setting up a business to market internet products, then words like internet, marketing, email are good terms to include. For house insurance, obvious words are house, home, insurance, premiums, discount, instant, direct, etc.

What about the new domains?

You can get a brand new type of domain name such as:
.biz
.info
.name
.tv

.biz is certainly fine for an online business, and .info might work. For example, www.internetmarketing.info will work most because people come online in search of information. The other two are best used for private use, but in any case, get a .com domain if you can.

Where to register your domain name

There are plenty of web sites where you can register domain names online, and it costs very little - usually less than $40 for two years fees.

I recommend one particular web site because it allows you to use your domain name without a web site - instead, you redirect traffic to the merchant for which you're an affiliate, but the surfer appears to remain on your site. More of this later.

You'll be able to do this if you get your domain name at BuyDomains

ULR forwarding

With domain or URL forwarding, you can make it look as if the affiliate page is your page. This has two advantages:

• People think that you own a business with a good domain name, and this is good for your credibility

• Surfers think they are on your site, which of course will look very professional, and will look like a big business

So you gain both ways.

How to do it

You first register your domain name with BuyDomains - if you've already registered it you can transfer it in free - and allow it 24 hours to get through the system. Then, you log into your account at BuyDomains and look for Frame Forwarding.

You go to URL forwarding
Then to Frame forward

You need to wait a couple of days for this to come into operation, but there you are with a good domain name, and you appear to run a big business!

This is just a start, though. Next you set up your own web site and your own business, and for that you will need web hosting as well as a domain name. To find what you need for web hosting, and how to quality at a low price click HERE!
