How To Get Your Perfect Website Address

By Russell Howe


When building your website the first tough decision you'll have to make is what domain name to pick. Your website needs an online address, after all. This is an important choice, as getting the correct address can literally make or break your chances of becoming noticed in your chosen field.

The three rules listed below show how to set up the perfect website address for you. Whatever your niche or goal, these steps make choosing the right address an absolute piece of cake.

1) Your name is a good start. Particularly if you're setting up your own business. This helps to brand yourself.

2) Relevancy. There is little point in taking a domain which bears no relevance to what you intend to do. For example you wouldn't choose a name about bears if your site was going to be about dogs.

3) A dot com isn't the only way. If your dream url is already taken then have a look if there are other extensions available, for instance a dot org or a dot tv may also come in very useful.

You could be creating a site about literally anything at all and these rules will help you to make it more relevant to your niche. Whether it's about your hobby, your family, your pets, a business or an affiliate program, taking that first step is an important one.

Take your time before you make any decision which will impact your business forever. Your web address is a very important part of your business, don't forget that. Otherwise you'll be starting again in a few months from now and will wish you were more careful when getting started.

If you are involved in online businesses or affiliate programs you should also look at building a site which includes the name of your company. This allows Google and it's pals to pick up your details each time anyone searches online for that particular company you are involved with, which is a very valuable traffic method for you as all searchers looking for the content are specifically interested in your field. Our own Empower Network affiliate blog is a good example of the possibilities here.

These rules will help you to get stated on a positive note. Once you get going you will find it becomes easier and easier to get yourself established.
