Do you want to know How To Buy A Domain Name?
Your kidding, right?
Like you don’t already know this stuff? What, were you born in the dark ages or just not paying much attention during Marketing 101?
The process couldn’t be simpler.
Go to a domain host like GoDaddy, Host Gator or Blue Host and select their purchasing options for buying a domain name.
Voila.
You are done.
You bother me, go away.
What’s that?
You think there is more to the process? Smarty. You’re right, I left out the more important element of finding a domain name that would pull in serious amounts of traffic though the general process was indeed reviewed above. I’ll reveal this top secret information to you now if you promise not to share it with anyone.
This is the scoop.
To start with you need to find yourself a niche.
Oh brother, now you want to know exactly what a niche is?
Targeting a specific subject within your topical area is how niches come to be. This can be focused around what you are already doing or instead something you desire to be doing.
Keyword research is the proper next step after defining your niche.
Hey, get back here.
This research should uncover exact search counts, strength of competition, measure of backlinks and availability of preferred domain name extensions (ie .COM, .ORG or .NET).
Doesn’t help much if you come up with the best domain name, only to find that it doesn’t have any of the above extensions available for purchasing. It’s true that other extensions may be available but I don’t consider them worth my time to pursue.
Now you can return to the top of this article and buy your preferred domain name with confidence that you are making the right decision. This is the information I covered early on so go back and read it while I prepare to write yet another article on Marketing 101.
Oh, and for the record on the off chance that you enjoyed this article go read the related content I created about the power of blogging in my Marketing 101 course titled “9 Online Marketing 101 Tips For Your Blog.” Should you suggest that this article was not one of enjoyment for you, the question I would ask is why are you still reading?
