name. It is to be done with great thought and purpose. There
exists a philosophy to it. Consider the following:
* A common and sensible method would be to use the name of your
site as the domain name. Like http://www.writerfind.com is a sensible
domain for a site where one can locate writers or
http://www.dictionary.com for an online dictionary. When the purpose of
the site is a part of the URL it makes it easy for customers to
remember the site and for new browsers to click on it.
* If the domain name is for an industry then you could think of
using a generic name. Select a name that represents one hundred
percent the market segment, http://www.autoinsurance.com would
represent to a "T" the auto insurance business.
* Choose a domain with a.com extension. If that is not available
then the alternate should also be a top level domain type.
* A short domain name is recommended over a long one just for
the sake of easy recollection. However a long domain name can
contain more key words and this could be a benefit where search
engines are concerned. Research your options carefully. A long
name works if it is dead on and meaningful.
* The golden rules are a domain name should be easy to remember,

goals. Namely "what is my site about?"
B. List the key words.
C. Use the description and key words to coin a domain name that
represents clearly the two important factors. Make a list of as
many as you can. D. Next test availability at a domain name
search engine.

Never choose a domain because its there.
