The Truth About Domain Names - Hallo It Is 2008
The simple truth about domain names - It’s the year 2008 and beyond. The internet is not what it used to be in the 90’s. Its way far advanced.
It’s unbelievable, you see it all the time -
- 3 qualities of good domain names, how to choose a good name or something along
this line, tips for selecting and registering a perfect domain.
Here is what the experts will tell you.
- Choose a short name.
- Register a unique domain name.
- A name that is easy
to pronounce and understand.
- Should be search engine friendly.
- A name that
is meaningful and not vague.
These is all great advice, but here is what they don’t tell you. There is no
such thing as a good domain name.
Please let me explain. In the beginning there was no such thing as
bookmarking.
You see, once upon a time ?around 1962 Arpanet was born (you can read more
about Arpanet here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET –just copy and paste
the link into your web browser.) While there you can read all the history of
computers, the internet or domain names.
But to cut the whole story short, somewhere along the line, the early users
of the internet discovered that for their visitors to discover their computers
and websites then they had to choose domain names that was short, unique, and
easy to remember…
Why because their visitors had to manually type in those domain names into
their web browsers in order to get where they wanted. In other words there was
no such thing as bookmarking.
Hallo, its 2008.
Things change fast, do they? When I want to use the computer and that means
the internet, here is what I do. And I believe that is what you do too! When you
know what you want, you go to your web browser and scroll down the list and
whalla! ? the link is right there.But what if you are searching for a product or
service you don’t know the link? Most likely you head over to your favorite
search engine and then work from there.
The truth about domain names.
Now here is where it gets interesting. When you find a page with the perfect
information, product or service that really impressed you, what do you do next?
Okay go slow here, stop and think for a moment. Do you try to memorize the URL?
Write it down on a piece of paper? Book
quickly get messy. Or do you bookmark it to one of the online social bookmark
sites?
Do you see where I’m getting with all this talk about the qualities of good
domain names? The truth is there is no such thing.
Of course from a marketing point of view, you might want to incorporate all
the aspects and factors that make up good domain names and then make it your
number one goal to provide something of good quality on your site ? something
that will make your targeted customers‘ to naturally want to come back for
more.
In conclusion, let me ask you a question, would you have known Google, Yahoo
or Ezine Articles if they were just another crappy site filled with all the big
No-No…So that you had to hit the back arrow as soon as you arrived there?
Next time you think of buying your own domain names , think of what you have
to offer first.
