Domain Names - Making The Right Choice

THE SINGLE  most crucial item of any website is its Domain Name. Try to think of a name that people will remember based on what you do, remind them of your company name (if not an exact match), and that will at least somewhat describe what is on your site. A Domain Name should indicates what your website is all about and how you want your visitors to remember it in the future. Choosing a domain name for you or your business can be a long and tedious process. Many Domain Names are no longer available, so creating a new one or finding the right one requires research, creativity and sometimes a significant investment in time.  Choose the wrong Domain Name and people seaching the internet for specific information using keywords to do so, may never find you. The length of a domain name is extremely important because people remember shorter names.

Choosing a suitable domain name ultimately depends on the purpose of your website. Any advice other than using your brand name as your domain name, would probably result in me being crucified by marketing gurus. After all, their mantra is the brand name is supposed to be the most important asset that any business has. Accordingly, the brand name must translate to the domain name.

Which of these areas of business will your website serve?

1.) Company Website: Will your website depict an already-established company? You should try to choose the same name as your company. (For example: www.JocksNitch.com)

2.) Entrepreneurial Website:  Are you trying to start an online business? You should choose a name that shows the product or service your company offers. But if you plan to advantageously promote your website, you may also want to give your domain a creative twist to enhance brand recognition. (For example: www.ParkvillePlumbers.com, or www.ComodoProductions.com)

3.) Informational Brochure Website:  Are you trying to establish a simple informational website that serves as a brochure for anyone inquiring about your business? Try to choose a domain name that shows how your clientele predominantly recognize you. (For example: www.JoeTheBarber.com)

4.) Landing Page:  Are you setting up landing pages for the purpose of recording traffic to redirect back to your already-built website?  You should try to choose a name that reflects what people might type into search engines. Separating each word with a hyphen increases your landing page’s ability to collect search engine traffic. (For example: www.how-to-build-a-website.com)

5.) Personal Blog:  Are you considering a personal blog? You can be as creative as you want in choosing your name. But if your blog is a means to serve the purpose of marketing yourself, such as finding a job, you should choose your own name as your domain. (For example: www.CJ Dickenson.com)

Domain names or website addresses are available for purchase from many website services or registrars. Once you have decided on the domain name you want for your website, you then check for its availability with a domain name registrar and if the name is taken, they will suggest an alternative Domain Name that may fit your requirements or you can simply try for another name. Because I like simplicity and the speed of application, I use  GoDaddy.com.

A domain name will give your website a unique identity, and sometimes (though nowadays not quite as likely) affect the success of your site. For as long as you remember to renew it, it's yours.

When it comes to Domain Names - Making the Right Choice is vitally important to your business.

AFFILIATE MARKETING HAS CHANGED

"If You Can Point, Click and Follow Simple Instructions, then You Have What It Takes to Build Your Own Fortune". 

How Many Times have You Read That Before?

WELCOME to Top Affiliate Pro in the real world, dedicated to people who want to learn how to make money online. Internet Affiliate Marketing is a fantastic business, but it is also a business where you can lose money quickly if you just rush into it before understanding how it works best. To do that you must carry out a number of basic steps.

Whether you are new to this business or have been an Affiliate Marketer for some time, you will find my blogsite and my updates on Twitter, to be a regular source of Information, Tips, Advice and a Treasure Trove of well researched amazing products you can use to create the online business you want, to help you succeed and make money online, as well as Products and Services you can sign up for and become a successful online business affiliate in your own right.

Affiliate Marketing is a great way to make money online and start an online business. It matters not whether it is a home make money online business or you are on the move, you can achieve success. What you need to know is that Affiliate Marketing is changing fast and I believe for the better. There have been hundreds of so called 'high earning' products promoted online that were sold by so called affiliate marketers who had never even purchased the product for themselves and tested it to see if it works.

I must emphasise that Affiliate Marketing is not a get rich quick business. It takes hard work and you must be ethical in whatever you say and do.  If you need instant cash, this is not for you.

So how is Affiliate Marketing changing?  When I first started out on the path to E-Commerce and Affiliate Marketing success, I found it really hard as I did not know where to begin. My journey took many twists and turns and I spent an awful lot of time and a huge amount of money on those hyped up programs, with claims about ‘How to Earn Millions' using some point and click system or other. Oh yes! They told me their story and showed me how much they had earned, but having purchased the program, I was still none the wiser and poorer for it.

So, after I had learned ‘What to do’, ‘How to do it’ and ‘When to do it’, I decided to become involved with the development of a completely new project which is linked to driving online success using social media. Not an internet business that gave you the same old puff about how to build and operate a mega income Affiliate Marketing Website Business by following a few easy steps, but a clever system that could change the way you make money online.


The System?  I like to call it OPR - Other Peoples Resources, has up until now only been known to a niche number of today's entrepreneurs who are making mega dollars by being 'plugged-into massive corporate structures which are driving their online success. Now you can use these same techniques and online business strategies to start an online business, get plugged in and do what only a select few internet entrepreneurs have been doing to drive business success to their internet business. To give you some idea, take a serious look at social media and consider how you could profit from it. Together, OPR and Social Media can be the secret to your success and Top Affiliate Pro can help guide you there. 
So now you have some basic idea of where the future lies in Affiliate Marketing, join me on a regular journey of knowledge, understanding and information that you can use to help build your business.
