Examining the Guts of a Domain Name

Imagine “finding” the perfect Domain Name for your personal site or business, only to discover late in the transaction phase that registration is flawed, or worse, that the seller doesn’t even own the Domain Name! Our “DomainNameComs.com” domain names have been promptly and proudly registered on Whois with 1&1, the World’s No. 1 Web Host and our domain names are verifiably registered. Registration by long-standing professionals such as 1&1, assures the details of your transaction will be seamless and expedient. After all, we’re a business too. We understand that once you choose your Domain Name, you’ll want your site up and running as soon as possible. And we’re dedicated to making that happen, so you can get down to business and begin your online success.

The Art of Crafting Keepers

Is it possible that one extra letter, one missing letter or the absence of a keyword can weaken the “pull” of a Domain Name and keep your online presence unknown? The short answer is Yes. Although there is no “Magic Key Formula” for the choice of a successful Domain Name, there are a few general “common sense” rules to follow during the name-picking process. In “creating” our Domain Names, we follow these common-sense rules while incoporating creativity and intuitive “sound-feel” to the mix, which makes for a ‘catchy’ Domain Name. I am a published author, have written for over thirty years, so the “sound-feel” process is not new to me. The sound and feel of words are my business and this extra dimension is used in proper ratio in the creation of our Domain Names. Examine our Domain Names on your tongue. Pronounce the Name, speak the Name and taste just how it feels. Tasty Domain names are easy to recall and easy-to-recall Domain Names is a proper baseline increasing your chances of optimal traffic, assuming of course that you want traffic on your website.

Attuned to the Market

As the market changes, so will we. Currently, speculators seem to enjoy tossing about hypotheticals as to the potential “theoretical value” of certain newer Domain Name extensions and we certainly feel there are legitimate grounds for such research and that new paradigms in the internet will continue to appear, however, as things are today and as a general rule for personal and private business use, we recommend and believe along with the major core of other professionals that your most solid value is the extension .com, because most people are just naturally inclined to type it in due to its long-standing tenure and legitimacy within the internet community. It’s not exactly brain surgery to figure this part out. Choosing the most valuable extension for your particular needs will  greatly impact your site’s effectiveness and your success. Having said that, we’ll say it again, we do prefer .com.

 

Time to Examine YOUR Website: What Image Are You Projecting?

Attentive viewers of my website may have noticed that the following point I make here also has appeared on at least one former website of mine. As a personal rule, I seek to avoid redundancy as it eats up valuable time. However, due to the major significance of the following point (correcting your website of harmful typos) I felt compelled to restate it again. If this comment saves just one person the embarasssment and agony of dealing with website typos or other snafus then I consider it worth it. And so here is the comment:

Every time I visit a “professional website”, examining large print, fine print, policies and the like, and notice glaringly obvious typos, it makes me wonder at least two things: One, have the owners taken time to even proofread their own site; and two, what do these “mistakes” “tell” me about the company? Are they forgivable flukes or flagship indicators of sloppy company practices? Of course occasional typos will slip in to even the best websites, (this one not excluded) but an overabundance of them paired with mismanaged verbage can plant legitimate doubt in the minds of potential (and existing) customers as to the company’s level of professionalism, awareness, credibility and care. Our job is to keep you off the hook here. We review your entire website, advise you of typos and formatting snafus and work to get them fixed to keep your image looking fine and groomed in your customers’ eyes, because, let’s face it, with competition being what it is these days, those are the only eyes that matter. Please remember this little motto: “Everything counts.” You can boast the best products in the world or tout excellent services, yet if your website reflects inattention it can quickly mock those pronouncements, drive away market share and pull the plug on profit. (Well, somebody needs to tell you.) Beyond full site proofreading, we can also create catchy brand mottos, unique by-lines, perform section editing and write or rewrite your entire website*, based on your goal targets and preferences, and you get to bask in the credit. I am a published author with over 30 years of writing experience. We offer a full money-back satisfaction guarantee.

Meta-Tags…I hope you know what they are!

 

 

 

If you have a website and aren’t familiar with meta-tags, I would encourage you to become familiar with them! Meta-tags are the little hidden communicator codes that send “messages” to search engine crawlers and spiders that collect and index websites. If you’re having a problem with traffic on your website, you should check out your meta-tags. Could be an indexing problem. To facilitate indexing by search engines, update your meta-tags on each page of your website; include the main search topics in the first few lines of text on the home page (default or a/k/a “index”) and don’t forget your search engine submission forms! (Note: If you’re working off a master dynamic template and enter meta-tag keywords on that “page”, by default those meta-tags will appear on every other page of the remaining pages of your website. This is what you DO NOT want.Instead, beginning with your “Home Page”, hand-tailor the most relevant keywords in the meta-tag section that best describe the content and function of each page of your website. The search engines also pick up on this distinction too so be very attentive and hand-tailor the meta-tags for each individual page of your website!
