If you are going to create a website or blog I highly recommend you to use your own domain name instead of a free website or blog. Using your own domain name looks professional and also you will have a better control over the look and functions. While selecting a domain name you must care about the following things.


Keep the Name as Short as Possible

Short names are easy to type and easy to remember. They will better fit on business cards and other offline media.

Make it Easy to Type

If a domain name requires considerable attention to type correctly, due to spelling, length or the use of un-memorable words or sounds, you’ve lost a good portion of your branding and marketing value. Many of them will be redirected to another website.

Make it Easy to Remember

This is very important in word of mouth advertising. Your domain should be easy for people to remember and to tell their friends.

Don’t use Hyphens and Numbers

Both hyphens and numbers make it hard to give your domain name verbally and will be difficult to remember. Using numbers and hyphens can be confusing and mistaken for the other.

Choose Dot Com Domains

While selecting a domain name go for a dot com if possible. Most people will type the dot com name even if you have a domain with another extension. Even if you create a domain with another extension register the dot com domain and redirect it to your actual website, so that you won’t loose the traffic.

Avoid Copyright Infringement

This is a mistake that some people do. This can create problems in the long run and kill your website. Make sure that you don’t infringe some one else’s trademark.

Express your content

When someone hears about your domain name for the first time, they should be able to instantly and accurately guess at the type of content that might be found there. The domain IndiaJobsWorld.com means it is a job site. Domains like Monster.com require more branding.

If you have a domain name you can make money in different ways. Many people register a domain name for several years and do nothing with the domain names. Below are the six ways you can make money from your domains

Redirect traffic to other sites you own. If a domain name has traffic already, you could simply redirect it to one of the sites you already own. Buying domains relevant to the topic and keywords of your website is a quick, easy, cheap way to increase traffic on your existing websites. You can get traffic worth hundreds of dollars for just a few dollars.

Park your domain For Easy, Passive Income. Even if you don’t have an existing website you can make big profits by using domain parking. These services allow you to profit from domains even if you don’t have a website. The parking services host your domain for free and display ads on your site. When a visitor clicks on an ad, you get paid. A detailed report is given in make money from domain parking.

Resell Domains For Big Profits. Even though you can pick domains for a tiny investment of $9 many people will buy domains for hundreds and thousands of dollars and they expect that they will be worth much more in the future. You can sell you domains using domain marketplace like Sedo.

Build a site to take full advantage Of the existing traffic. Just imagine how much easier it is to launch a new site when you start with a domain that is already indexed in the major search engines, has existing traffic, and has hundreds of incoming links. As soon as you put the site online, you can expect to see visitors rolling in right away.

Redirect Traffic To Affiliate Programs. This is a great way to take advantage of the existing stream of traffic. You just set up your domain so that it will redirect visitors through your affiliate link to a related product or service. Sit back and watch the cash roll in.

Hold The Domains While They Increase In Value. You can simply hold the domain for as long as you want to, letting the prices, demand, and value continue rising. You can earn money from the domains while you’re holding them so you get money while they’re going up in value. Domain names (especially .com domains) are becoming a limited resource. Dot com domains are excellent examples of domains that increase in value over time.

There are many people who register a domain name for several years. You can make money by parking the domain. The amount of money you earn will depend on the traffic it generated. Many domains generate good type in traffic. Normally the domain is parked with the registrar and they are making money from your domains. To park the domain on sedo you have to change the name servers to sedo’s name servers or you can redirect the domains to www.sedoparking.com/yourdomain.com.

I am using Sedo for domain parking. Sedo is also a market place so that you can also sell your domains to potential buyers. The payment are sent through paypal and direct bank deposit. Payments are done monthly and they pay always in time. The minimum payment is only 20 euro. An example of a domains parked on sedo is FreeAdsGuide.com. You need to use a professional email id to register on Sedo.
