Im my opinion to get your blog noticed and on the web, it is all about social blogging and sharing your blog link with other bloggers on other blog sites.

Would be good to share your experiences.

The problem I’m having is every good domain I can think of is already taken.
Don’t really want to include any hyphens, so the available domains are very thin on the ground.
Most of these domains are not even hosted – what a waste!

What sort of name are you going for?

When it comes to naming websites, I only abide with these three simple rules:
1.Make it unique – Using a similar name of another website owned by someone else is a recipe for disaster. Start by brainstorming at least five names with your friends.
2.Make it easy to type and remember – Do away with lengthy domain names that are just too hard to remember and pronounce. And, if possible, avoid the letters “q,” “z,” “x,” “c,” and “p”.
3.Create Expectations – The name should immediately present or at least give people an idea of what the website is all about. Be creative yet direct to the point.
That’s it. I hope what I shared will be useful to the people who visit this site.

Hi, some good information in your video, I agree with much of what your advising. I have many domains and I really have more trouble getting good rankings for my .info sites. Google does not seem to like them so much. I have much better success with .com, .org and .net domains. You can always use your desired keywords first and just add an additional short word at the end like tips or info etc.

Jeff,
Thanks for your advice on .info’s – I was unaware.
“You can always use your desired keywords first and just add an additional short word at the end like tips or info etc.” – very true!
