How to Select a High Converting Domain Name For Your URL

 Buying a Domain As a rule of thumb, always buy your own name, or a version of it. If your name is John Smith, you might want to buy JohnSmith.com, JohnSmith.net or JohnSmith.info. If these are not available, you can use variations like WhoIsJohnSmith.com, MeetJohnSmith.com or PartnerWithJohnSmith.com Even if you don't use this domain right away, you will certainly want your own name for any personal branding you might create in the future. Of course, you can use it for your Landing Page as well, if you choose, depending on the market you displaying your domain for. Aa a rule of thumb, it's a great idea to use your own name in a domain, when marketing to your friends, fans or followers from the Social Media Market. People who follow you and are your friends on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, MySpace and/or any Social Media Platform, want to know YOU, and so by using your name or a version of it, this will create curiosity in your friends, fans & followers, perhaps com...

Domain Name Law - Is It Possible For Someone to Steal My Domain Name?

 THEFT OR STEALING APPLIES ONLY TO PROPERTY The first thing to understand is that most people including business talk about 'owning' a registered name as if it is legal property. However domain name law doesn't ascribe the status of property to a registered name. The legal character of a name is a renewable form of permission or licence to use the name for a specified period of time under a Registration Agreement. By contrast, by law, property is something which can be owned, mortgaged, assigned, or bequeathed under a Will. Therefore a Domain Name cannot be legally stolen. Only one Court has ever characterised a domain name as property. A registered name is like a telephone number or car registration plates. You have the right or permission to use them which you acquire from a licensing body, but they never really belong to you or are legally owned by you. Neither can you own a business name or a company name, as they don't have the legal status of property, although if...

Do I Need More Than One Domain Name?

 You might be thinking that you could make a copy of your website and use an alternate domain name for that copy. Hey, two websites are better than one right? You might have a domain name like www ace plumbing com that goes to your main website. You could set up www aceplumbing net and have that go to a copy of your website. Double the website, double your website visitors, leads and customers. It seems logical. Unfortunately it does no good to have two websites for your business. The exception would be if you have two websites that each contain unique information about two separate parts of your business. But then again, you could just have two separate categories within your main website to cover the two separate areas of your business.

Domain Name Madness

 Suppose you have a business and you come up with the name "cool business #1". After careful consideration you made sure it has a nice ring, it communicates what your business is about, it is perfect. An then, you check the domain name coolbusiness#1.com Bummer, it is already occupied. So are ".net" too and perhaps ".org" but the rest may be open. You can purchase ".co", ".info" and some other dots too, but it would make no sense what so ever. Most people know ".com" and completely don't care about the other TLDs. You need to make sure ".com" is free, even though perhaps you want to run your business on ".net". If your business is a local one, you might settle for a local domain, but that has its own risks: what if your business grows large enough to go international, what if an international business comes to your country and you'll be in a name conflict. There really is not much of an option. If y...
