Quality Domains are Key
In the world of blogging, professionalism is key. If you want anyone to pay attention to you or your blog, you 1) need a domain, and 2) need a quality domain. If you pick a bad domain, not only are you stuck, but you discredit your blog big time.
When I first started blogging, I made some bad choices, and some good choices, when it came to choosing domain names. Let’s talk about the consequences of each a good choice, or a bad choice.
Bad Choice
When I made a few bad choices pertaining to domain name choosing, it effected my blog more than you’d think. I got many complaints, many lost readers, and a lot of confused readers who thought that it made me look like an unprofessional jerk. The blog eventually fell apart, and I believe the biggest reason was the bad choice of names.
Good Choice
Ah, time for the good choice. 
Well, for one thing, MonkeyBlogger.com is a fantastic domain if you ask me. But besides that point, the good effects you can get from a great choice in domain name, or business name for that matter are endless. Publicity is one thing. When you have a good name, it gets around. And fast. When your domain name is brandable, you build a brand on and off the internet, and it adds an extra hint of professionalism in your blog and/or business.
So that’s it for today, just thought I’d talk a bit about this, I’ll be talking more about professionalism in other things in my upcoming posts, and you should fine it very interesting, so don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS to stay updated.

Brandability is key with domains. That is something I was looking for when I chose mine. Something that was different enough to stand out. but still easy enough to remember.
I think your domain has great brandability!

I love the idea of using the monkey theme on your blog. I think using Monkeyblogger as the domain for your blog was a wonderful idea.
It really ads that ability to brand amongst your readers and other bloggers.

Thanks for the great comments guys, and yes, I do love this name. Now I just need to get it out there more! I could definitely use help in marketing/promoting, it’s the one thing in blogging I struggle with.
It’s too bad that my site’s name isn’t very brandable, ah well…. I like it

It’s my first time here! I really like your header. Your brand yourself well, and the domain name too.
I think short and sweet domain name is the way to go. For niche blogging, I’d use keyword without dashes, otherwise use brand name.
It’s my personal preference. Get creative. There are still many great domains available for grabs for less than $10 a year.
