Naming a site after its domain name is important, for the simple reason that when people think of your website, they'll think of it by name.

Most sites with a .cn contain viruses so that somehow ruins the image of your site as well!

I have a behavioral coaching practice named "Insight Out Coaching." www.insightoutcoaching.com is taken, but .net is available. I was thinking i could list my domain as www.outcomesthroughinsight.com. Even though it is different from my company name, it speaks to the process that I am involved with. Is it too long/cumbersome? Also, in the case of www.insideoutcoaching.com, it is for a soccer coaching site that would not be a competitor. in this case would a .net extension be a good idea? Next, I like the sound of .biz better than .net. Are there any pros or cons of using one vs. the other? Thank you in advance for your feedback!

I know that from seo point of view .com is the best solution. When people see a name they will write it as .com. or eventualy with their country code. If come is not avialible try .net or .org, then even .biz or .info. And at the far end there are domains like .tv and stuff. Great article!

If you were to register poetvis.com, you should probably get poetviz.com, or vice versa. I own a domain name 0bones.com, so I registered zerobones.com just incase someone thought the 0 was spelled out. It would be helpful to register the alternative in that situation. As far as registering a bunch of domain names, if there is no marketing behind it you will get no benefits. Unless of course you get an expired domain name and it has traffic from its previous owner.

Thanks. Do you think it would help much to register all this names: POETVIS.com POETVIZ.com PoetryVisual.com I have now: PoetryVisualized.com and polumi.com Is there an advantage in having more sites registered if there is no marketing activity behind them? Thanks for your feedback :) Great! Thanks.

Do you think it would help much to register all this names:

POETVIS.com

Thanks for your feedback :)

POETVIS.com POETVIZ.com PoetryVisual.com Also, a thesaurus is a great way to find alternatives to your words. I agree that PoetryVisualized.com is a little bit too hard to type out. You would think that people would be able to spell those two words correctly...its just that there is too much opportunity for mis types. Hello,

Can I get your opinion on this? i started a web site dedicated to visual poetry. Becaus i was mainly asking filmmaker to produce / visualize poetry I came up with PoetryVisualized.com. However I hear form here and there that it's to long and hard to spell (typing errors). Now I came up with an additional name which redirects to PoetryVisualiozed.com polumi = POetryLUMIère www.polumi.com More detail's can be read here: http://www.poetryvisualized.com/profile_blogs/Admin/&action=view&id=100 Good article.

It was a good place for me to get an idea on what I wanted to do with my website, and allowed me to really brainstorm about the name. So, I guess I did that part right. What I did wrong though was register a domain name at co.cc, so when it finally came time for me to have a real domain name, it was anotherguy.co.cc... a free domain registration. That proved to be problematic and seemed unprofessional to many who saw it. So, after about 4 months of writing for anotherguy.co.cc, I switched over to my current domain; anotherguy.us Now, when I go to Google and search for my site, I still find results for both anotherguy.wordpress.com and anotherguy.co.cc, both of which are no longer active. I guess I've learned the hard way - brainstorm a lot, pick out every detail, and once you go with something try not to look back.
