Domain Names are they Important?

How do you choose a good domain name? Do you even think a domain is worth it? Is it better to use blogger or blogspot? I have been blogging for years now and make a nice chunk of change on the net every month.

I have been purchasing domains since 1998ish and done very well. I do put thought into domain names, and have even sold some domain names for a nice profit. I am not a person who buys domains just to hold onto them and resell them though. I buy domain names I like.

Why do you think domain names are important? How do you come up with them?

Domain names are important for a website to give it that unique “brand” or “name”. Unique is the keyword there I think. I have a ton of domains but haven’t been real successful selling any of them yet. I have a problem holding onto things and can’t let go sometimes

I almost always try to get a .com first. If it’s not available, I’ll to see if I can find it for sale somewhere. If I still can’t find it, then I’ll try to think of a variation of the .com to make it work, or I’ll settle for a .net.

I choose my domain name based upon the content of my website, I usually don’t buy and hold just for the sake of reselling later. That could become very addicting for me.

I have been buying domains since 1995 and have once owned over 100. I have made a nice profit from 1999 to 2003 selling off but 12 domains.

A domain is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay.

Nice article!

Hi,Great information.godaddy.com not only sells domain names, but they also provide information about what domain names are and how to use them.here are some discount Go Daddy coupons that Iam sure will come in handy as well. Use Godaddy Promo Code ZINE3 for $6.95 domains and renewals. No limit to this coupon code.
