Choosing a New Domain Name Part 2
It’s so important to check the domain name first because the great name you thought of will likely already be taken.
For example, if I wanted to create a site called freewordpressthemes, I couldn’t do it because somebody else is using that name already.
There’s something else you need to do as well, and that is to use an ordinary search engine like Google or, my favourite, Ixquick, and type the name that you’re hoping to use into the search engine and see what comes up.
The reason for this is that you may find many sites which don’t have a domain name as such but do use the words in their titles.
This particularly applies to people who have sites on wordpress.com, for example, which will give you a wordpress domain name but it might be like the one you want to use.
And this applies to Blogger and Flikr and other sites where people can come up with titles and user names that don’t have to be registered.
The only requirement is that they’re not being used by anyone else on that particular site.
It’s my experience that once you’ve done this you may feel a little bit depressed.
You’ll think that, depending on the niche that you’re interested in, that all the good names have already gone.
There’s one more point when you’re searching and that is to think of SEO – Search Engine Optimization.
It will be a real help to you if you can think of a domain name which will identify your niche so that when people search, it’s your site that comes on the first page.
As an example, typing “Bulgarian Stock photos” into the new Bing Search Engine gives this result:
Which means that for the key phrase bulgarian stockphotos my site is first out of 471,000
A search for these terms gives a similar result.
stock photos of bulgaria
stockphotos of bulgaria
bulgarian stockphotos
That’s not too bad.
