For newcomers to the Web, Ill give a brief definition
of a domain name.

Your domain title is the same as "www.yoursitename.com". Its
also known as your URL or Website Address.

For example, www.webmastercourse.com is my sites domain
name or my web address.

The domain title must be registered and approved before
you might call it your own. The reason it works this
way is because two web sites having the identical domain title
cannot reside online at the same instant. If someone types
in www.webmastercourse.com, he/she will go to my website
and no one elses.

Registering your domain title and awaiting approval gives
the registration business opportunity to check with every
other company around the world to be sure no one else
has already applied for your domain name "first."

It normally takes 2 to 3 days to receive confirmation
of your domain title .

If you havent registered your own domain name yet,
please take the following tips into consideration
before doing so.

Your domain title may affect the number of repeat visitors
to your website.

Heres How:

1. Visitors will only remember your domain title for a future
visit if it is elegant to remember.

Which of the two domain names below would you more likely
remember?

http://www.webmastercourse.com/ or
http://www.web-designer-training-course-part-1-learn.com/

Probably the first one. The shorter the better. Visitors
will see the domain name, remember it, and hopefully
visit again in the future if the domain name is simple
and to the point.

2. Your domain name should be directly related to
your offer or data available at your website.

For example, www.webmastercourse.com is directly related
to web design training. In monitoring our web page statistics,
Ive noticed that we have many visitors each month who
arrive at our web site by simply typing in the domain
name instead of arriving through search engines, other
links, etc. Of course, this was not so at the beginning.
But, as visitors began coming, they began memorizing the
domain name and repeating their visits in this fashion.

3. If possible, make use of a generic name that all the people might
would type in without ever hearing about you.

For example, www.webdesign.com is very generic,
and I am sure many many people simply type this name in
to see whats available in the web develope field.

Other "very" generic names I might think of are:

www.soap.com
www.cars.com
www.boats.com
www.computers.com
www.calculators.com
www.food.com
www.pencils.com
www.skiing.com
etc
